/**
* IntByReference is used when the address of a primitive int must be passed
* as a parameter to a function.
*
* For example, the following C code,
*
* {@code
* extern void get_a(int * ap);
*
* int foo(void) {
* int a;
* // pass a reference to 'a' so get_a() can fill it out
* get_a(&a);
*
* return a;
* }
* }
*
* Would be declared in java as
*
* {@code
* interface Lib {
* void get_a(@Out IntByReference ap);
* }
* }
*
* and used like this
*
* IntByReference ap = new IntByReference();
* lib.get_a(ap);
* System.out.printf("a from lib=%d\n", a.intValue());
