Re: Pike_sp-- vs. pop_stack() (Re: Accessing variables in a class object from within a CMOD?)

Well, it would do exactly the same thing as would happen in Pike itself.

push_object(obj); push_text("something"); f_index(2);

I went with something like:

ref_push_object(portal); ref_push_string(MK_STRING("_datarowdesc")); f_arrow(2); datarowdesc=Pike_sp[-1].u.array; pop_stack();

And about type checking, the helper class knows that the types are filled correctly before it's being called. I only need to account for bad user input/database behaviour.

Incidentally, it's these silly things like, when to use push_string or when to use ref_push_string and the same for push_object vs. ref_push_object which take time to figure out.
