Re: [Vala] Life time of args passsed to async methods

[Alexandre Rosenfeld <alexandre rosenfeld gmail com>]

This is generally safe, since objects are reference counted. Even if the
async method keeps executing in the background, the async method will
decrease it's reference when it no longer needs the object (this is done
automatically for you), in which case the object will be freed (that if
there is no other reference for this object somewhere else).
