It is correct in a sense, but again it is misleading.
- A C++ programmer might interpret it as: f(std::string s), which
implies a copy, as opposed to: f(std::string s).
- A Visual Basic programmer might interpret it as : f(ByVal test As
String) which is obviously not what is intended.

If one has a look at the C code generated by Vala for the following
two examples, it appears that the unowned keyword has no influence
on the way
the string b (of type gchar*) is passed to f().
In both cases, it is passed as a pointer
A string in Vala is a *reference* type [1] and therefore passed by
Not according to the documentation:
Cf Vala tutorial:
Reference Types
The reference types are all types declared as a class, regardless of
whether they are descended from GLib's Object or not. Vala will ensure
that when you

All right,
But it is a rather odd class indeed then, because:
1) I dont't think it has the value null when unassigned.
2) It derogates to the rule according to which the default behaviour in an
assignment between class types is by reference (when a string is assigned to
another, the default is

It does (or at least it should).

The Vala tutorial says:
*Parameter Directions* **
*A method in Vala is passed zero or more arguments. The default behaviour
when a method is called is as follows: *
- *Any value type parameters are copied to a location local to the method
as it executes. *
- *Any reference type
Strings are passed by value. To avoid this use unowned keyword.
