Hi,

[PATCH] dl.txt explaining PtrData#ptr,ref

From: Tim Sutherland <timsuth@...>
Date: 2004-10-30 03:08:22 UTC
List: ruby-core #3645
I posted this patch last night under ruby-talk:118202.

The documentation for PtrData#ptr and PtrData#ref is a bit unclear.
We should say that they are like `*ptr' and `&ptr' respectively.

(This is the first time I have submitted a patch for Ruby. Please tell
me if this is the wrong place for it, or if the patch format is
incorrect. BTW: dl is a wonderful wonderful library.)
