Re: [Vala] Various tests with the new contract support, but also with non-GLib.Object classes

[Philip Van Hoof <spam pvanhoof be>]

I also wonder where the memory for " t = test_new ();" is protected for
the use in app_thread_func as "app_y". As far as I can see is "app_test"
assigning app_y to t (and if app_y was not NULL, freeing app_y first).

That's probably as a result of y = #t; where I demand an ownership
transfer.

But the last line of app_test is going to free my t, right? Leaving me
with a broken app_y, which I will be using in app_thread_func later.

Bit confused ...

Will this only ever work with GLib.Object inherited types (ones that
have reference counting)?

Why not replacing "test_free" with a "test_unref" and adding a member
called ref_count to "struct _Test" and do it right in stead? When I make
myself a class in vala, I kinda 'okay' valac to do such things for me.
