Hello! I’m checking cinterop tool documentation and saw next statement: “Also, any C type has the Kotlin type representing the lvalue of this type, i.e., the value located in memory rather than a simple immutable self-contained value. Think C++ references, as a similar concept. For structs (and typedefs to structs) this representation is the main one and has the same name as the struct itself, for Kotlin enums it is named ${type}Var, for CPointerT it is CPointerVarT, and for most other types it is ${type}Var. For types that have both representations, the one with a “lvalue” has a mutable .value property for accessing the value.” Could somebody explain me please, as I worked a long time ago with plain C. Thank you

3

is an rvalue, you cannot

&3

or

3 = y

int x = 3; x

is an lvalue, you can

&x

or

x = y

@ephemient , thank you for the reply. I didn’t get want kind of representations are in Kotlin for C types. What does it mean “C++ has similar concept”?And what are “types that have both representations”? Thank you!

types that have both include things like `Int`/`IntVar`

Thank you, now I got regarding both representations
