constant intialized via expression yields compile-time assertions

Submitted by Adam Dingle

Description

To see the problem, compile this program:

== test.vala == class Foo { public static Foo instance; public const int FOO = 4; public const int bar = instance.FOO; }

void main() { } == end ==

You'll see this:

** CRITICAL **: vala_ccode_function_add_declaration: assertion self != NULL' failed ** CRITICAL **: vala_ccode_function_add_assignment: assertion self != NULL' failed ** CRITICAL **: vala_ccode_function_add_declaration: assertion self != NULL' failed ** CRITICAL **: vala_ccode_function_add_assignment: assertion self != NULL' failed

Now replace the declaration of bar with this:

public const int bar = new Foo().FOO;

When you compile, you'll see the same assertions repeated many times.
