Re: [Vala] New params for [ModuleInit]

[JM <interflug1 gmx net>]

Hello Abderrahim
Thanks for the help! 
Your example compiles and can be executed. However there is a warning on
execution:
$ ./main 
Loading plugin with path: '/home/me/plugin-example-new/libplugin.so'
Loaded module: '/home/me/plugin-example-new/libplugin.so'
Plugin type: MyPlugin

Loading plugin with path: '/home/me/plugin-example-new/libplugin.so'
Hello world!

(process:3609): GLib-GObject-WARNING
**: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.24.1/gobject/gtypemodule.c:112:
unsolicitated invocation of g_object_dispose() on GTypeModule
Should be unloading plugin with path
'/home/me/plugin-example-new/libplugin.so'

I guess that's happening when unreffing the Registrar.

You mentioned a bug with [ModuleInit]. Is this the same thing as the bug
I filed here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621317
?
