Cool idea. In my practice a simple function like

int foo( int arg1 )

often evolves to return more than one argument. It is very annoying to be forced to make a user defined type

class ReturnValue (

public int ret1;
public int ret2;
)

which sole purpose is to work around the single function return type limitation. In many cases I can't even think of decent name for such a return struicture! Received on Wed Mar 08 2006 - 13:58:33 CST
