Re: [Vala] Too many arguments in generated code

[Tal Hadad <tal_hd hotmail com>]

Compact classes are 100% C structs(no GObject at all).
The difference is that compact class are threaded as a ref types, while structs
are threaded as a value types.
If the struct is used most of the time by ref type, it logically makes sense to
define it as compact class.
Compact class is logically the same as C++(with ownership transfer)
