Description W. Michael Petullo 2011-01-06 08:38:13 UTC 
Vala 0.10.2 seems to miscompile some code that uses GLib.FileUtils.get_data. This results in the following failure from gcc:

vala-dpap-record.c:217:2: error: ‘this’ undeclared (first use in this function)
vala-dpap-record.c:217:2: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
vala-dpap-record.c:218:2: warning: statement with no effect

I have attached the Vala and C source. I am compiling to C using:

/usr/bin/valac --vapidir=../vala --pkg gee-1.0 --pkg gtk+-2.0 --pkg gstreamer-0.10 --pkg libdmapsharing-3.0 --pkg libsoup-2.4 --pkg glib-2.0 dpapview.vala vala-dmap-db.vala vala-dpap-record.vala -C

Vala 0.11.3 does not have this problem.

Vala 0.12 has been released, the bugfix isn't going to be backported to 0.10. Closing as obsolete, thanks for taking time to report the bug.
