21:14 <reed> Hi all. Could someone explain to me what is happening in this line of the "vip.l" file: (native "@" "LINES" T)

21:14 <reed> after running that, the transient variable "LINES" has a value in it

21:23 <beneroth> Hi reed. See https://software-lab.de/doc/refN.html#native

21:24 <reed> I'm familiar with that documentation, but there aren't any examples with the "T" result specification

21:25 <beneroth> T # Don't call, just assign handle and pointer

21:25 <beneroth> see also https://software-lab.de/doc/native.html

21:27 <reed> Hmm, I'll put some thought into it. Thanks

21:27 reed has quit []

21:27 <beneroth> so as I understand it: obtain the pointer to "LINES" in the current binary, don't call it just get the pointer (which then gets stored in the "LINES" symbol in our lisp context)

21:28 * beneroth wonders why people always disconnect so quickly -.-'

21:28 * beneroth "LINES" seems to be weird for a C function, maybe a global variable? Regenaxer?

21:28 <beneroth> gn8 all
