<DT><B> Usage </B><DD><P><CODE>int SLclass_set_pop_function (cl, pop_fun)</CODE>

<DT><B> Description </B><DD><P><CODE>SLclass_set_pop_function</CODE> is used to set the callback for
popping an object from the stack for a new data type specified by
<CODE>cl</CODE>, which must have been previously obtained via
<CODE>SLclass_allocate_class</CODE>.
<P>The parameter <CODE>pop_fun</CODE> is a pointer to the pop callback
function, which is required to take two arguments: an unsigned
character representing the data type, and the address of the object
to be popped. It must return zero upon success, or <CODE>-1</CODE> upon
failure.
<P><CODE>SLclass_set_pop_function</CODE> returns zero upon success, or <CODE>-1</CODE>
upon failure.
<DT><B> Example </B><DD><P>The pop callback for <CODE>SLANG_COMPLEX_TYPE</CODE> looks like:
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
static int complex_push (unsigned char type, VOID_STAR ptr)
{
double *z = *(double **) ptr;
return SLang_pop_complex (&z[0], &z[1]);
}
</PRE>
