SWIG function problem

[Fla As]

Hello,
I have following Ruby code:
class Random
def initialize(init, im=139968, ia=3877, ic=29573)
@last = init
@im = im
@ia = ia
@ic = ic
end
def next(max)
(max * (@last = (@last * @ia + @ic) % @im)) / @im
end
end

v = Random.new(42.0)
10.times do
puts v.next(1.0)
end

And I try to write the next-function in c
float gen_random(int *last, float max, int IM, int IA, int IC) {
*last = (*last * IA + IC) % IM;
return (max * *last / (float)IM);
}
and with help SWIG I try make useable in Ruby but I can not.

require 'fastac'
...
def next(max)
# (max * (@last = (@last * @ia + @ic) % @im)) / @im
Fastac.gen_random(@last, max, @im, @ia, @ic)
end
...


$ ruby gen_random.rb
gen_random.rb:12:in `gen_random': Expected argument 0 of type int *, but
got Fixnum 42 (TypeError)
in SWIG method 'gen_random' from gen_random.rb:12:in `next'
from gen_random.rb:18
from gen_random.rb:17:in `times'
from gen_random.rb:17
[/code]

What I make wrong?

best regards

See http://www.swig.org/Doc1.3/Ruby.html#Ruby_nn32
(you can reuse your original header if you #ifdef swig directives, see
swig doc for more info).

If that doesn't help, please post somewhere your code, including ruby,
c, and swig header. It would make reproducing your problem easier.
