When a the return type of a method is a structure type such as ns-rect then the conversion specified in Special result conversion for define-objc-method can be used. Alternatively, and for any other structure defined with define-objc-struct, the method can specify a variable as its result-style . This variable is bound to a pointer to a foreign structure of the appropriate type and the method should set the slots in this structure to specify the result. For example, the following definitions show a method that returns a stucture:
(define-objc-struct (pair
(:foreign-name "_Pair"))
(:first :float)
(:second :float))
(define-objc-method ("pair" (:struct pair) result-pair)
((this my-object))
(setf (fli:foreign-slot-value result-pair :first) 1f0
(fli:foreign-slot-value result-pair :second) 2f0))
