Passing array as an argument

at_jay

Hi,
Just a confusion, as I am new to spin ...I have an Array A of type Long and 800 values in Object A. I want that some PUB function in Object A passes this Array A as an argument to some PUB function in Object B.

Please advice me the spin sytax.

Cheers
Jay

Object A would look something like this:

obj
  B : "ObjectB"
var
  long A[800]

pub main
  B.meth(@A)

and object B would be

pub meth(ptr) | i
  repeat i from 0 to 799
    long[ptr][i] := ...

Thank you Dave, this was just the hint I needed.

It does not help newcomers when you post code snippets without comments that could help them understand what goes on.

I added some comments and attached it as a Archive of the two object file.

obj
  B : "ObjectB"        'load the ObjectB and now refer to it as B
var
  long A[800]          'Reserve 800 longs

pub main
  B.my_method(@A)      'Call the my_method in the B Object, pass along the address of A  
  repeat               'Pause forever
