Hi everyone,

here another weird question from me...
As stated in the subject I need to return a MemoryBlock object from the plugin I'm writing, the point i that the returned MemoryBlock should wrap around a C pointer that a function returned. How can I accomplish something like that? How to create a MemoryBlock object from a C pointer within a plugin?

Thanks in advance

Marco

Read the SDK function list and search for functions with memoryblock in name...

If you want to avoid deprecated functions:
- call REALGetClassRef("MemoryBlock") in PluginEntry and stash it somewhere
- use REALnewInstance(gMemoryblockClass)
- load the convert method via REALLoadObjectMethod(obj, "Operator_Convert(value As Ptr)")
- invoke that and return the object

Alternatively, you could just declare your function to return Ptr.
