[Vala] reference problem

[picca <picca synchrotron-soleil Fr>]

Hello

Here the vala code then I will explain my problem

public class Holder {
        weak List<Axis> axes;

        Holder(ref List<Axis> axes) {
                this.axes = axes
        }

        ...other method modifing the this.axes...
}

public class Geometry { // the real owner of the list
        List<Axis> axes;
        List<Holder> holders;
        public add_holder() {
                this.holders.append(new Holder(ref this.axes));
        }
}

So I create a geometry with one holder then I use the holder method to
modify the axes list owned by the geometry.

but the C code show that in the holder class

struct _Holder {
        Glist *axes;
};

holder_new(Holder *self, GList **axes)
{
                (*self).axes = (*axes);
}

So instead of modifying the Geometry list it use a new one created in
the holder.

The right C code would have been

struct _Holder {
        GList **axes;
};

holder_new(Holder *self, GList **axes)
{
        (*self).axes = axes; 
}


So is it a bug ?
