Perfect!
Thank you so much for the info and the helpful example file!
Interesting to learn that insert_with_tags(..) can receive many parameters of a 
TextTag in order to apply many properties (red, bold, fixed) at once.
 
Thanks once again for the great help.
 
Best,

[Vala] Question about some wiki content

2014-01-15 Thread Steven Oliver 
I'm looking at
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala/ReferenceHandling

In the section titled Memory management for compact classes with reference
counting the custom up function, as expected, increments the reference
count. The custom down function though does not. I would think it should.

Should it? I'll update the wiki if I get confirmation.

It does decrease the ref_count.

The decrement inside the IF is permanent? Even if the IF statement
evaluates to false?

public void down () {
if (--ref_count == 0) {
delete (void*) this;
}
}

Yes, this is basic C syntax:
