[IronPython] c# function that passes arguments by reference

[Frank Kampas]

how to I create an array to pass by reference?  I assume that your example is creating an integer with a value of 3 to pass by reference.

  This is the "easy" way to call functions that are passing values by reference.  You should be able to pass non-zero values as well as non-empty arrays.  The only thing that should disallow this is if there were multiple overloads that resulted in an ambiguous method resolution.  

   

  For these cases there is a generic Reference type defined in the CLR module.  You can use this:

   

  import clr

  x = clr.Reference[int](3)

   

  someObj.someFunction(x)

   

  print x.Value

   

  and Value will be updated after the call.

  If I import a c# function that passes its arguments (integers and arrays)

  by reference, the only way I can get it to work is pass zeroes for the integers and

  arrays of zero for the arrays.  The results for the variables passed by reference return with the function

  return.  Is that what is supposed to occur?
