Problems with Symbols, High Severity (2)

	Change	Effect
1	The pointer level of 2nd parameter value has been increased from 0 to 1.	The library function may try to access unallocated memory by the dereferencing of old parameter value and therefore cause a crash of applications.

	Change	Effect
1	Parameter self of type ValaCCodeBaseModule* has been added to the calling stack at the middle position.	Layout of parameter's stack has been changed and therefore parameters at higher positions in the stack may be incorrectly initialized by applications.

Problems with Symbols, Medium Severity (9)

	Change	Effect
1	Base type of 4th parameter declarator_suffix has been changed from char (1 byte) to struct _ValaCCodeDeclaratorSuffix (24 bytes).	This parameter may be incorrectly initialized by applications.

	Change	Effect
1	Base type of return value has been changed from char (1 byte) to struct _ValaCCodeDeclaratorSuffix (24 bytes).	Applications will obtain a different return value and execution may change.

Problems with Symbols, Low Severity (3)

	Change	Effect
1	The pointer level of return value has been increased from 0 to 1.	Applications will treat the return value as the lower-dimension array and will not read all elements. This may change the behavior of applications.
2	Type of return value has been changed from gint to ValaExpression*.	Replacement of return type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.

	Change	Effect
1	Type of 2nd parameter value has been changed from gint to ValaExpression*.	Replacement of parameter data type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.
