The need for an 'Any' type emerges in the following context:
Object o = new Object();
Object o1 = new Object();
string s = "string"
o.set_data("data", o1);
o.set_data("string", s);
set_data is currently declared as
set_data(string, void *);
This will break the auto memory management of vala, making it completely
impossible to pass a string into set_data.
The only work around is to provide a new member function in string
class string {
[CCode (name = "g_strdup")]
weak string dup_and_give();
}
to create a copy of the string, and immediately give the ownership to
set_data.
Maybe I should file a new Bug?
