Example

When trying to assign the value of a constant multi-dimensional array to a non-constant multidimensional array, valac appears to not generate any errors, but fails to create C code and throws the following:

"**
ERROR:valaccodearraymodule.c:1105:vala_ccode_array_module_real_get_array_length_cvalue: assertion failed: (size != null && size.size >= dim)
Aborted (core dumped)"

I have tested this with both static and non-static members. I can confirm that removing the const keyword from the source array resolves the issue.

Bug #604371 needs to be fixed before this makes any sense.
