I'm glad to hear you liked my implementation, and I'll be very interested in seeing yours :)

I understand what you feel about my registers 'magic' and I felt the same at the beginning, but the fact I couldn't find any better solution, and that the function calling ABI is well documented by apple, made me feel more comfortable about this.

I tried this solution in my implementation, but it resulted in messy code with lots of casts, so I came up with a new solution. The basic idea is that if the internals of the method call returns the right thing then one should be able to get the result directly from the right register.

I had a bit of a look at your library, Ofri. It definitely looks to be the most comprehensive and best put together HOM solution out there! I'm trying a bit of a different approach though, and want something simpler. Your magic with registers is a bit too much like black magic for me.

If people are interested, I'm happy to post a bit more info about what I'm doing differently to the other HOM libraries floating around, or even stick my code up somewhere.

Cheers,
