Hello,

Does anyone know how to write a call to `pp_def' that somehow returns,
or updates, scalar values ?  I know that with `OtherPars' it is easy
to specify that a scalar is to be passed as input. For output, do I
have to somehow use the normal C api to perl to get at the contents of
an SV?

For instance, I might want to take piddles and or scalars as input and
have scalars and possibly piddle as output. A clumsy solution is to
pass a piddle of length 1, where I really want a scalar, in the `Code'
string, and then write a wrapper function in perl to extract the
scalar from the auxiallry piddle.

A related question: With `GenericTypes' and the template mechanism
`$T( ...', I can automatically generate interfaces for several
types of piddles. Is it possible to somehow use this template with
`OtherPars' ? In particular, I want to define a function via
pp_def that takes a piddle and a scalar as arguments. I want the
two arguments to be of the same type. For example, both integers,
both doubles, etc.

Thank you!

John
