Re: [Vala] What is the right syntax for defining pointers or references or "aliases" in Vala ?

[Daniel Alonso <dani apanoia gmail com>]

Please read the Vala Tutorial, specially the section "Datatypes" where
it explains which types in vala qualify as reference types and which
ones qualify as value types.

Reference types when an assignment without the "new" operator behave
as pointers.
