Subject: Confused by example in Pickaxe book

Hi all,

On p. 181 of the Pickaxe, the example defines the "initialize" method
like this:

rb_define_method(cCDPlayer,"initialize",cd_init,1);

Yet, in the "new" method it's called like this:

rb_obj_call_init(tdata,1,argv);

First, isn't that 2 arguments instead of 1 (remembering to exclude
'self', i.e. tdata, as an argument).  What is the '1' for?

Second, what is the purpose of this?

VALUE argv[1];
argv[0] = unit;

What is happening here?

Much confused.

Regards,

Dan
