[Glass] CPointer and a question

[itlists at schrievkrom.de]

Assuming the following code:

I would like to have a pointer to a 4 bytes long area:


CPointer newFrom: (CByteArray gcMalloc: 4)

but this does now work. It must be at least an 8 bytes long field:

CPointer newFrom: (CByteArray gcMalloc: 8)


Why ? Or do I not understand the semantic of newFrom: ? The name
indicates, that the content of the CByteArray is used.

But the description says:

"Return a new instance of CPointer which is a reference to body
 of a CByteArray."
