[Gambas-user] Object.address() returns wrong address for a structure

[Brian G]

When getting the address for a structure object the wrong address is returned. It looks like the address returned is a control block of some sort. 
object.sizeof() does return the correct length for the structure. 

I thought it would return the same address as was assigned to it. 

dim a as pointer = alloc(1000,1) 
dim b as MyStruct 
b = a 
then 
object.address(b) should equal a 

But instead it seems to return some sort of control block, but I expected for a structure to just recieve the same address as was assigned. 

If this is correct, then is there a way to get the assigned address for a structure object?
