Description Jim Nelson 2011-04-07 20:32:34 UTC 
varargs don't work with a constructor.  The code compiles fine but the results are unpredictable, from no arguments being found to garbage to segfault.

The reason is that the C function that takes the varargs (the class_new() function) turns around and calls the class_construct() function.  The stack in class_construct() is therefore not in a proper state for vararg processing.

Vala 0.12.
