Thanks, Andrea.
Any idea about what to do (or what the valac Gtk binding does) to use a
C boxed type binded to a vala struct like:
var iter = Gtk.TreeIter ();
from Vala? I've not seen any custom vala code to adapt it.
Also, I've used the 'struct' argument to use my boxed as a vala struct,
but when i try to set its methods as 'hidden' vapigen warns about the
argument being ignored.
Regards,
Alex
