Re: [Vala] GLib.Object.get_type() static?

[Daniel Espinosa <esodan gmail com>]

This method returns an object type but if it is not registered, by
convention, it does. Just check C generated for a GObject.

For libraries, some times, you need to register objects in the type system
before call some method, just check libgda's gda_init() at line 152:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/libgda/tree/libgda/gda-init.c

For C you call a macro, it calls object_get_type(), what is the effect of
call in Vala

typeof(ObjectName)?

May this is where you can have registered a type, because it should call
get type() behind scens.
