2267	Eval Flag (new Feature Request)	DXRW4E		"At present Eval() Returns the value of the variable, and possible to add a flag, so as to return the pointer of the variable, pointer to be used in autoit fuction with the ByRef

Eval() works really fast, in a test with a 200 MB array, works in about 0.040 seconds, so the speed is not the problem, but the memory in use

:example
;example $XArray[1000000] size 100 MB
Assign(""$Array"", $XArray, 2)
;;Once you have created the $Array, suppose that $XArray = """"

Global $a = Eval(""Array"") 
Test($s) ;I have to take by force the $a, so that after use with ByRef, so in this case it uses 200 MB of memory

Func Test(ByRef $c)
ect ect
EndFunc

;it would be really nice to do so
Global $b = Eval(""Array"", 1) ;only return the pointer of $Array, pointer that is Ok with the ByRef mod

Test($b)
Func Test(ByRef $a)
ect ect
EndFunc
