A Short DO Problem

  • Subject: A Short DO Problem

C function probably always return an int, even if the return value is actually shorter.
Objectiv-C methods probably do the same.

But [ aLocalObject returnUnsignedShort0xbeef ] returns 0x0000beef.
Whereas [ aDistantObject returnUnsignedShort0xfffa20 ] returns 0xffffbeef.

Is it somewhere documented that DistandObjects cannot return things which are not ints?
What about returning structs? What about returning char *?

I have read the documentation several times, but could not find anything.
Any pointers would be very welcome.

Gerriet.
