[Vala] [PATCH] enum: foreach capability

[Sebastian Reichel]

Hi,

Please consider applying the attached patch. It adds support for
using foreach with enums like this (and closes #624691):

> foreach (Enum e in Enum.all_values) {
> stdout.printf ("%s\n", e.to_string ());
> }

ping? Is there really no interest in having this in vala? It's quite
useful to fill e.g. Gtk.Combobox with values from the enum.

Perhaps the vala team are currently looking at
other issues and have missed your message or
put it at the back of a long queue.

As a vala user, I'm raising my hand in support
of enum.foreach. But I prefer this syntax:

foreach (Enum e) {
....
}

and let the compiler automatically fill in the "... in Enum.all_values).

I'm interested in having this but sadly can't help you get it in. The bug repository is also has quite a few patches that appear to have never been applied for whatever reason.
