blitz types to c++?

I don't know anything about decls files, but if you're unable to return an object pointer from C++, how about passing in an object with a pointer field and modifying the pointer?

Type result_wrapper
	Field r.result
End Type

Local rw.result_wrapper = New result_wrapper
get_data(rw) ; call C++
Local r.result = rw\r
; then do the same as before

struct result_wrapper {
	result * r;
};
BBDECL void BBCALL get_data(result_wrapper * rw) {
	rw->r = new result;
	//etc

Make sense?
