Vala: Check for null parent symbol (858 bytes, patch)

Description Corentin Noël 2016-01-14 15:23:52 UTC 
When I compile the camel library (from https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution-data-server/ ) I get a critical message from vapigen. Backtracing the error, it seems that Vala.DelegateType.to_qualified_string doesn't check for a possible null global_symbol.parent_symbol before getting its name.

This problem has been fixed in the unstable development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain that newer version.
