Re: [Vala] Help with pub-sub class

[Steven Oliver <oliver steven gmail com>]

I've made some progress on this if anyone wants some answers for posterity.

* Instead of using a struct I created a new class and I now pass an full
object. This let's me have default values.

The following are still eluding me:
* The signal "publish" seems unable to take two parameters. (I don't
understand this, though it's no longer an issue for me.)
* I can't figure out a way to get the method which writes to the log inside
the logging class because I keep needing access to instance members from a
static function. (https://github.com/steveno/balistica/blob/master/src/
BalisticaApplication.vala#L284)
