With boxed, I meant GBoxed in the GObject type system. It does not change how structs are used in Vala/Genie. However, it makes it possible to store a Vala struct in a GValue, which is necessary to use structs as GObject properties among other things. > Is there documentation anywhere? If you want more information about GBoxed, have a look at the GObject documentation. > Will Genie have to be updated also? No, this was a change in the code generator, which applies to both, Vala and Genie.
