For example (pseudocode, not sure if this is allowed):
operator + (a,b: IBigNum):IBigNum;
begin
if not assigned(Result) then
Result := TBigNum.Create;
BN_add(Result.BN, a.BN, b.BN);
end;
Am I allowed to access the Result in this way? I have done only a few
experiments and at one time it seemed I could indeed access values of
the fields of the object on the left side of the assignment through
the Result variable but I'm not sure whether this was only coincidence
or if this is actually allowed.
