Why do you need the function address ?

A function you can pass variables and it will return a value ie sum(num1,num2)
and if you pass variables by reference you can modify several variables in the function

Do you mean get the device's IP address? You can use the HTTPRequest commands and point to "https://api.ipify.org" which will return the active IP address that you can then parse in AGK. Here is a copy-paste code sample:

Do you mean function pointers? AppGameKit doesn't support this AFAIK.

maybe

agk:function help()
agk: print("Hello World")
agk:endfunction


and now using C to call a function

agk:help()

Maybe

Obtaining the address of a function is currently not possible in Tier 1 as far as I know

That's quite right. And if you had it, what would you do with it?

pass it to a library function to define a callback

the biggest drawback of the AppGameKit plugin system is the lack communication between the plugin and tier1, it would be great if plugin code could call tier1 functions and access array data like in Lua/CLua, this would need pointers, or at least some kind of stack system

That's not really going to work, as the pointer would be the location of the function within in the AGK byte code, rather than native code. So the callback would need to run the AppGameKit VM to execute the request. I can think ways around such things but that's for another day

I have work-a-rounds in place already that's how I got AppGameKit embedded inside a PureBasic built UI exported as a plugin, I know it would not really work but the question was asked: "And if you had it, what would you do with it?", I merely gave an example, I know its never going to happen.

now AGKSharp is out I wonder if TGC would also endorse a C++ built Lua implementation like Love2D, I would gladly write the code.

if you look for a call by name for scripting maybe u can use a select case name where you call the function.
