Hi
I had trouble initially finding out what VALUE was ... but check out
ruby.h(using grep)...
>> typedef unsigned long VALUE;
So, I guess VALUE could just be a pointer :) since many functions seem to
accept args as VALUE a, VALUE b
And then try to make sense out of it, by typecasting the value at that
address to the appropriate data structure , which is also defined in ruby.h
HTH
