Re: [Vala] New params for [ModuleInit]

[JM <interflug1 gmx net>]

Hmm. That was too early. 
I replied after compiling was fine, but the TypeModule Example is
crashing on execution.

./main 
Loading plugin with path: '/home/me/plugin-example/libplugin.so'
Loaded module: '/home/me/plugin-example/libplugin.so'

** (process:27029): CRITICAL **: register_plugin: assertion `module !=
NULL' failed
Plugin type: (null)


(process:27029): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion
`G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed

(process:27029): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_is_floating:
assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
Segmentation fault


...
The example does not give a TypeModule arg and creating a TypeModule
with 'TypeModule tm = new TypeModule();' doesn't work.

Will it be necessary to have one TypeModule per application and do
register_* for all plugin types with it or will it be one per plugin? 
Or am I getting this totally wrong?

Maybe it will be easier to understand if someone can fix the example on
the vala website.
