Hi Yehuda, Laurent kindly responded to a similar query from me : His reply (Novemebr 24th):

In order to use these methods I introduced in trunk a class named Pointer. You allocate a Pointer object by using the #new_with_type method in which you pass the Objective-C type encoding. @ is for pointers, i for integers, d for doubles, etc...

# This is not very intuitive, I will implement the RubyCocoa way to deal with pointers as well.

You use it like that:

errorp = Pointer.new_with_type('@') urlData = NSURLConnection.sendSynchronousRequest(urlRequest, returningResponse:response, error:errorp) if urlData.nil? error = errorp[0] puts "error: #{error.description}" end

With trunk of last week it worked fine for me with: errorp = Pointer.new_with_type('@') response = Pointer.new_with_type("@") urlData = NSURLConnection.sendSynchronousRequest(urlRequest, returningResponse:response, error:errorp) Hope that helps, cheers, J On Dec 1, 2008, at 8:30 , Yehuda Katz wrote:

I'm trying to figure out a way to make an NSError** object that is a required parameter to the PSFeed#refresh: method. What's the correct mechanism?
