Returning complex objects.

[kirel]

Hi, it'e me again. I'm not sure this is the right place for my question but I'll just go ahead and ask. I've been playing around with this library extensively and I am running into trouble when returning more complex objects.

That bites me already when returning something like [0] from a function. The ffi (i.e. in Ruby) assumes it encountered the end of the string when it finds null somewhere along the way which breaks deserialization (at least I think that's what's happening). I don't really see a viable workaround. I would want to return the size of the message along with the message but I have no idea how to do that. Are there other workarounds? Am I completely missing a point here?

Thanks for your time.
