Actually yes I have a valid reason, I have to interact with an externall
aplication that makes use of Interprocess to comuticate, actually the
information between aplications is copied to and from via copymemory
calls to windows32 api so basically them shares a portion of memory, so
I need to point to that memory address and increment that adress in
order to access to it.

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.
