//     Function: ParameterRemapConcreteToPointer::pass_parameter
//       Access: Public, Virtual
//  Description: Outputs an expression that converts the indicated

//               passing into the actual C++ function.

//  Description: Returns an expression that evalutes to the

//               function, given an expression of the original type.

//     Function: ParameterRemapConcreteToPointer::return_value_needs_management
//       Access: Public, Virtual
//  Description: Returns true if the return value represents a value

//               explicitly deallocated later by the caller.

//  Description: If return_value_needs_management() returns true, this
//               should return the index of the function that should
//               be called when it is time to destruct the return
//               value.  It will generally be the same as the
//               destructor for the class we just returned a pointer
//               to.

//     Function: ParameterRemapConcreteToPointer::return_value_should_be_simple
//       Access: Public, Virtual
//  Description: This is a hack around a problem VC++ has with
//               overly-complex expressions, particularly in
//               conjunction with the 'new' operator.  If this
//               parameter type is one that will probably give VC++ a
//               headache, this should be set true to indicate that
//               the code generator should save the return value
//               expression into a temporary variable first, and pass
//               the temporary variable name in instead.
