Descripción

Hello,

Have you found any solution for handling functions that return values via output parameters passed by reference, especially when those parameters are of immutable types?

This becomes a problem with important functions like [BRep_Tool::CurveOnSurface](https://dev.opencascade.org/doc/occt-7.2.0/refman/html/class_b_rep___tool.html#aeaa70c29f0a30d827fd8a36116d74b91). In such cases, the function modifies the arguments passed by reference (e.g., to return the first and last parameters of the Geom2d_Curve), but when these are immutable types in the binding language, we can’t retrieve the modified values.

This effectively blocks access to important return data.

Some relevant references:

[pyOCCT developer notes – Reference arguments](https://pyocct.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dev.html#reference-arguments)

Would appreciate any guidance or workarounds!

Thanks in advance.
