They're references as in C++ references or Rust borrowed pointers (i.e. they allow you to pass a value argument by reference, for example), they change the Eolian syntax, and will eventually replace pointers as they are in Eolian right now. In comparison to pointers they're more restricted (can only be used in certain contexts, cannot be nested) so they're easier to handle in bindings. Once I settle with semantics for refs, migration will happen (away from pointers) and pointers will be removed. > >> [...] > > TIA, > > -- > Jean-Philippe André > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
