Natives can now return enum structs and fixed-size arrays. The address
is passed as a hidden first parameter. For example:
native Struct DoStuff(int x, int y);
Will have:
params[0] = 3
params[1] = the address of the output struct
params[2] = x
params[3] = y
The hidden address points to a fully initialized array or enum struct.
In the case of a multi-dimensional array, the indirection vectors are
already placed. All values/members are initialized to zero.
The native MUST return params[1] on success, otherwise, behavior is
undefined.
It is recommended that when defining C++ definitions of SourcePawn
structs, to use `#pragma pack(push, 1)` and `#pragma pack(pop)`. In
addition, the only types that should appear are "cell_t" and "float". No
other type should be used for scalars. For arrays, "char" may be used,
but not as a scalar.
When using char arrays, the C++ definition must be careful to convert
the char size to a cell-aligned size. For example:
enum struct MyStruct {
int x;
int y;
char message[50];
}
Should look like this in C++:
#pragma pack(push, 1)
struct MyStruct {
cell_t x;
cell_t y;
char message[CharArraySize<50>::bytes];
};
#pragma pack(pop)
