[Gambas-user] Working with .so library

[Cedron Dawg]

I disagree with this.

No question that C was designed to be the lowest possible level without being CPU specific, i.e. a universal assembly language, and thus reflects how the CPU really works closely, but this particular complexity arises from C's pass by value calling stack convention, rather than pass by reference.  That was a design choice.

"why would any  programming language require to create such a complex 
construction".

Because this is exactly how a CPU works (it manipulates memory using 
addresses), and the C language is intended to be very close the CPU. 
Even if it is less and less true because of the evolution of the x86 
architecture in the last ten years.

REgards,
