Note how I say c-functions and not c++ functions. Only a C ABI
is guaranteed, this is why all languages can interface with C
but not with C++ or Java. I lack detailed knowledge of that ABI
so the FPC devels may have to correct me on how that method
struct will be passed, but I guess it should be by value. The 
alignment is probably not an issue with 2 struct members with the
size of a pointer.
