While writing the Tcl implementation, it occurred to me that a number of languages might want to deal with the cases where a parameter is an ‘in’ parameter differently from the case given (really a single ‘out’ parameter, plus a bit of metadata to describe the buffer size). No time to work on this now though. —[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 13:10, 18 August 2009 (UTC) |
