example demonstrating bug

It seems that Gee.TreeMap doesn't release all the references it has to the items it contains. See the example code, where I would expect a message from the destructor.
Comment 1 Maciej (Matthew) Piechotka 2010-07-25 19:57:20 UTC 
Problem is in vala code generation.

Test case - c

Code generated is:

struct _Test {
        gpointer key;
};

void test_free (Test* self) {
        g_slice_free (Test, self);
}

Instead of:

struct _Test {
        GDestroyNotify g_destroy_func;
        gpointer key;
};

void test_free (Test* self) {
        self->g_destroy_func(self->key);
        g_slice_free (Test, self);
}

While I belive that it is vala poblem the workaround is present in both master and 0.6 branch.
