The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.

The other thing I am having to do is eval the pointer to the parameter
in the C specs, because the compiler doesn't like
D pReportLine S * Inz(%Addr(ReportLine))
If the goal is to get the data into a data structure, why not make the
parameter a data structure in the first place? Doing in that way, you
could pass by const reference without any problems.
Even with ReportLine being a parameter passed by Value. So this means
that, in addition to moving 140 bytes each module call, I am having to
eval a pointer every call also.
That's true. However, that's also what INZ(%addr(foo)) does... so doing it
in the calcs shouldn't affect performance.
Or, if you really need to get every little drop of performance, you could
always use a plain old ordinary reference parameter. Personally, I prefer
CONST because it helps catch coding errors, aids in verstility, etc. But
if your #1 requirement is performance, using an ordinary reference parm
would obviate the need to pass by value, since you can get & operate a
pointer to a ref parm, as long as it's not const.
Eliminating the pointer logic and simply passing the data structure would
probably be the best bet, though. Best of both worlds, that is.
