Modifying code generator to support pass by reference values

We have gtk function gtk_foo_bar_get(GtkSomeObject *obj, gdouble *x, gdouble *y); While working on gtkextra I found quite a lot of them. They just return the values to x and y, e.g in gtk_foo_bar_get(): void gtk_foo_bar_get(GtkSomeObject *obj, gdouble *x, gdouble *y) { *x = obj->blabla.x; *y = obj->blabla.y; } First I wanted to create an extra Retval_Arg handler. Alan suggested using another flag to the parameters 'return-value' (method get_position (of-object Plot (Gtk)) (c-name gtk_plot_get_position) (return-type none) (parameter (type-and-name gdouble* x) (return-value)) (parameter (type-and-name gdouble* y) (return-value)) ) Assuming the the function has NO return value the, the return code would look like: gtk_foo_bar_get(GTK_FOO_BAR(PHP_GTK_GET(this_ptr)), &x, &y); array_init(return_value); add_next_index_double(x); add_next_index_double(y); I've played around and it works fine. But before I put more energy into this I wanted to know if everyone agrees witht his solution. It requires changes to the code generator in several places. Alan, Andrei, anyone? - Markus -- Please always Cc to me when replying to me on the lists.
