When a list is freed, we iterate through all the items, invoking the
free function for each; the actual free function called for each element
is the function of the actual type of each element, and thus the @_next
pointer in the element struct has the same type as the element itself.
Currently, the free function gets the parent of the current element
type, and invoke its free function to continue freeing the list.
However, in case the hierarchy of the classes has more than 1 level
(i.e. Class <- SubClass <- SubSubClass), the invoked free function is
only the parent class' one, and not the actual base class of the
hierarchy.
To fix that, change the generator to get the ancestor of a class, and
invoking that instead. Also, avoid to set the @_next back, as it is not
needed.
I would say "base class" except "ancestor" because the naming confused
me, but
other than that it looks good to me.
