If you don't mind coding in pseudo-C-pike, .cmod's can solve these problems quite nicely.

2004-03-01 20:32: Subject: Access to default `->() in C modules
Hi,
I would to implement [kind of] properties in C module, so it will be possible to access some variables like obj->prop. I tried map_variable() first, but it doesn't work well - it's value can be changed outside of object (may be there is an attribute to disable this?), and - it cannot be (safely) extracted with get_all_args() - since size of Pike's int/float is not necessary same as size of C int/float (and I don't want to use Pike types everywhere in C data structures).
So... The logical way is to implement `->() function, but I don't know how to do this in C (not exactly). In Pike, I can use something like ::`->() to call predefined (original) indexing operator, so what should I do in C? Or, more precise, how?
Regards, /Al
