Structure Pass By Reference? [message #32882]

Hi,

I have a very deep structure that looks something like this:

struct = $
{vmap, $
a: ptr_new(), $
b: ptr_new()$
}

struct = $
{rindex, $
x: 0, $
y: 0 $
}

where vmap.a is an array of structures of type RINDEX. vmap is an
actual defined object and rindex is just a structure

in a vmap method i need to access individual elements of a. i tried
(for example):

rindex1 = (*self.a)[2]
rindex1.x = 2

I would think that since (*self.a)[2] is a structure of type rindex,
it would be passed by reference and therefore rindex1.x = 2 would mean
(self.a)[2].x =2, but this is not the case. Can somebody help me out?

Thanks

Nidhi
