Subject: trouble with C pointers and GC

Hello,

I have some trouble to return a structure with pointers outside the heap
!

I allocate two C pointer :

  adr1 = (double *) calloc(nb1,sizeof(double));
  adr2 = (int *) calloc(nb2,sizeof(int));

and I want to put it in a value with Final_tag :

  result = alloc_final( n , free_function , nb_elm*2 , 1 ) ;

I don't know what is the value of n (n words) : A pointer value
represent 1 word or 2 ?

How can I store the pointers adr1 and adr2 in value result and how can I
retrieve them (with Store_field and Field ?) ?

Thank you for your assistance.
