Description Alberto Ruiz 2009-07-30 14:48:20 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
hidding private fields in a struct is not supported, causing some gir files really hard to map to other languages (vala in this case).

a private field can legally have the same name than a method, however the gir file exposes this field as public and vala fails to create a .vapi file out of it

Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

Comment 1 Owen Taylor 2009-07-30 16:01:25 UTC 
Note: private fields need to be represented in the gir in some way (conceivably could be name-mangled), or struct offset computation won't work.
Comment 2 Alberto Ruiz 2009-07-30 17:05:59 UTC 
Could we define a gir attribute to define the scope of a member (public, private)?
