Description

There is not much documentation on errordomains, but somewhere I've read that they are quite similar to enums. So I've tried to write something like

public errordomain TestError {
    FOO;
    public static string to_string() {
        return "Foo";
    }
    public static TestError create(string msg) {
        return new TestError.FOO(msg);
    }
}

But this is not working. Vala completely ignores to_string method, so attempt to use it results it compilation error. And for create method vala generates declaration in c code, but no definition, so it fails on linking (undefined reference to `test_error_create')
