Generated code?: I see no reason not to show the result of transforming Vala to C
Supported OS?: agree that it should be reworded
Line 100:
 
The current OS support reads as "Every platform with an ANSI C compiler, Vala generates C code" This seems a bit misleading since GObject isn't ported to every OS. It seems it should read something more like "Every platform with an ANSI C compiler that GObject supports. Vala generates C code that depends on GObject." Or since GObject is usually dependent on GLib, perhaps it should read GLib instead of GObject... Any comments on this? <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/206.127.184.24|206.127.184.24]] ([[User talk:206.127.184.24|talk]]) 08:02, 19 February 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
 
:I agree. According to the manual, "[GLib] works on many UNIX-like platforms, Windows, OS/2 and BeOS"[http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/2.18/glib.html]—while that covers a ''huge'' chunk of OS's ("UNIX-like" includes IRIX, Solaris, OSX, BSDs, GNU/Linux, &c), I'd bet there's a system somewhere in the world with a working ANSI C compiler that won't build GLib. I think the description should be something like "Every platform supported by GLib." [[Special:Contributions/24.243.3.27|24.243.3.27]] ([[User talk:24.243.3.27|talk]]) 03:08, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
