I am wondering why you dislike weak so much. It does usually mess stuff up but it is also good if one knows what she is doing. It not only saves a ref and unref, but also breaks circular references. Talking about circular references, is it possible to have a circular ref breaker mechanism like the one in GTK for vala fundamental classes? - Yu > > Jürg > > > _______________________________________________ > Vala-list mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list _______________________________________________ Vala-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
