[Oorexx-devel] NULL Pointer and .Nil

[David A. <da...@us...>]

Rick -

I had assumed that if a C++ method returned a NULL pointer as a return
value, like this

RexxMethod3(POINTER,                   // Return type
            GrxTextBufferForwardSearch, // Object_method name
            CSELF, self,               // GTK self
            CSTRING, text,             // Search text
            logical_t, flag)           // Position boolean
{

...

    return NULL;
}

that the NULL pointer would be converted to a .nil. Unfortunately that does
not seem to be the case. When I display a NULL pointer in the Rexx script I
get the following output.

0x(nil)

Is this correct?
