150 * (we just support pointers).

155 * the return value from the routine and the values
156 * of any global variable that is modified in the parent
157 * currently: do_append and recursive_result.
159 * If the return type is a string:
161 * the parent writes the resulting string length
162 * if the result string was NULL or the empty string,
163 * then the length is zero.
164 * The parent then writes the string length and frees
165 * the result string.
