Well, it depends on the language, but it is probably possible with some glue code (not necessarily practical though). For example, giving perl code a pointer isn't particularly useful, since perl doesn't provide for random memory access that way. It would be possible for an XS module to provide access to the memory at the location though. > We also suffer this problem in reverse: passing a pointer between two > C libraries is not possible in another non-C language. eg.

I'm pretty sure you can. -- Chris Adams <cmad...@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
