alternative to ReturnNew

[GoogleCodeExporter]

As an alternative to ReturnNew, another action could be implemented that, 
instead of returning a newly created object, would rather assign the address of 
newly created object to method parameter:

my_method (Object ** obj);

An action that I would propose to call "CreateAndPass" would then do the 
assignment:

*obj = new Object(...contructor params...);

I wanted to make this an enhancement, not a defect.

I think this is too specialized to be added to gmock.  Please define a custom 
action instead.  See the cook book wiki for how to do that.

Also, a friendly reminder that we use the the issue tracker for bug reports and 
approved feature requests.  For new feature requests, please use the mailing 
list.  Thanks.

My point was to add this as a new feature request and then contribute the
code that adds this functionality. If you think, however, that it is too
specialized, I will only keep this as my own custom action.

Thanks for offering to contribute!  The mailing list will be a great venue for 
discussions like this, as it reaches far more many people.

Yes, I think this is a bit too specialized.
