Hi there gravity community.

I'm not sure if:

From C++ I can bind references or pointers, how are those managed in gravity script? Are wrapped objects?
Writing gravity scripts, are all pass by value? or references? I know you have a garbage collector but I'm not sure is suppose all are ref counted objects

So basically from C/C++ <-> Gravity, by value or reference/deference?

Thanks!

Hi @PaTiToMaSteR,
between C++ and Gravity all objects are passed by reference.

You can find a complete cpp example in the examples folder:
https://github.com/marcobambini/gravity/blob/master/examples/GravityCpp/GravityCpp/main.cpp

P.S. there is a preliminary support for the Struct keyword so I plan to add support for pass by value types
