AFAIK, addRoot is for memory allocated in GC heap, and addRange
is for other types of memory, so you can't add non-gc memory as
root (just a guess, see docs). I would allocate whole Args in
GC heap and add is as root, yes, it would prevent collection
until the root is removed. A better way would be to store Args
in a linked list in the widget, this way it will be fully
managed, and Args will live as long as the widget class
instance references them without additional tinkering with GC.
Ah yeah, i never thought, i could allocate Args on the GC heap.
I have to allocate it on the fly and not store it in the widget
because there could be many. I'll have a fiddle.
