Hello list,

I'm porting an application writen in "C" to RealBasic, that aplication make use of pointers and seems to be almost imposible to not use them, is there a way to use pointers in RealBasic?

Here is how the definition is done.

static BYTE*   m_pNext = 0;

And the real problem is this use of the pointer:

m_pNext += sizeof(FS6IPC_WRITESTATEDATA_HDR) + dwSize;

What is the equivalent in RealBasic for this


Maybe you are trying to make too direct port ?

The question here is why would you need pointers in REALbasic ? What are you trying to accomplish that you cannot accomplish with the REALbasic reference counting system ?

You might have a valid reason (hard to know from your mail), but it might also be a porting strategy issue, porting from a low lever language to high level language should never be done as line by line port.
