i'm working on a functions (sscanf/fscanf) to be registered with the scripting engine which requires that variables be passed by reference. this is easily done in user-land (&$variable), but there seems to be no obvious way to inform the compiler that the parameters accepted by c level functions should be pushed by ref.

any guidance ?

the func_arg_types field of the function_entry structure makes it possible to force parameters to be passed by reference. (L0t3k <cshmoove@hotmail.com> pointed out this could be closed on php-dev.)
