Generator: ByRef generator now passes the value by ref #149

Closed Therzok closed 8 years ago

This avoid an extra heap allocation for each object passed by ref so it can be transitioned directly into native memory. Native counterparts will handle data mutation, so managed will see it anyway.

Don't merge yet, as I need to test it.

Merging as it works for MD just fine.

@knocte something worthy of backporting to master?

knocte commented 8 years ago

Well, in general, I think that's the wrong question to ask. Master should have all the nice things, and only certain things should be backported (so you should have said "forward-porting" not "backporting", here ;) ). That being said, I would really would like to have a 3.0 release from master before landing these things (as that has been stable for long), however I also would prefer to have that 2.12 release before the 3.0 one...
