I found this answer by Jürg to a similar question (it was about automatic cloning) in an IRC chat log: "<juergbi> we won't add automatic clone methods. this could lead to strange issues as you never know how deep the cloning is imagine you have a class with an ArrayList as field should it just copy the reference to the list or clone the whole list? if you want implicit copies, use structs. if structs don't fit your use case, write your own clone method with clearly defined semantics" Best regards, Frederik _______________________________________________ Vala-list mailing list Vala-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
