Re: XS C++ return class pointers

[James Shirley]

Steffen,

Thankyou. I've resolved my problems quite simply by specifying the CLASS
variable, after reading the generated c code..

So instead of:


MyClass *
MyClass::child()
  CODE:
    RETVAL = (MyClass *)safemalloc( sizeof(MyClass) );
    *RETVAL = THIS->child();

  OUTPUT:
    RETVAL

  CLEANUP:
    safefree(RETVAL);

I used:

MyClass *
MyClass::child()
  CODE:
    const char *CLASS = "MyPackage";
    RETVAL = new MyClass(THIS->child());

  OUTPUT:
    RETVAL


Cheers

James
