Hi Wim,

Thanks for answering the original question.

...I wish I could make sense of what you said, but I'm probably just
too tired at the moment.  I don't understand what the low-level
difference between "int*" and "int&" is.  More importantly I don't
understand why you would mention cffi/ctypes, given that these two are
not about C++ at all.  There is certainly no plan to support "int&" or
any non-C type in cffi.  As far as I know these types are not in
ctypes either (public interface or not) for the same reason.  They are
not in libffi either.


A bientôt,

Armin.
