If you're not expecting null node.value, I suggest putting assert(value != null) before adding to the LinkedList, and putting assert(node.value != null) after reading from it. Personally, there are many times when assert reveals my own lapses after 100% sure that the Vala compiler must be buggy :-) > I've made the generic TreeNode's add-method virtual and overrode it in > Variable so that I can print out the values.

C++ would do that. I don't think that is the Vala's way. Vala's generics are not "instantiated" into specifics. They remain generics in the compiled version.
