Re: [Vala] error on property.

[Sam Liddicott <sam liddicott com>]

properties and property getters are all weak.

but you are also generating the string you return which is not weak.

if the actual string value returned doesn't change, you might want to
use a lazy create and have the object "own" the string and then you can
return a weak reference:

private string _fio;
public weak string get_fio() {
if (_fio == null) {
fio = "%s %C. %C".printf(l_name,f_name.get_char(),m_name.get_char());
}
return fio;
}
