IMO ownership need not the issue because j is called as an shared object, but
the in the signature
int JDoR(int h, char* s, VARIANT* v)
VARIANT is supposed to be a OLE2 data structure and OLE2 is not generally
available in linux.
I think that JSM is not much useful in this context unless it is intended to
implement 11!:x, I'm also waiting for its documentation in the coming J602.

Windows it's ownership is passed on to caller and
together with J they can access the shared SysAlloc's
API, the malloc/free are different; so either a free'er must
me provided or ownership is retained by J by means of
output callback, as it is done now. Is that correct reasoning?

JSM and Jga are just undocumented. And as such have been subject to some
changes over release versions. I intend to have JSM as a stable, documented,
and exampled part of the 602 release. JSM makes writing JFE much easier
(witness the complications in Mike's new Mac JFE). My feeling is that Jga is
much less important and there are easy workarounds so it may not make it
into the open this time round. The main thing that JSM lets you do is to set
the JE callback for formatted output.

Subject: [Jgeneral] JSM and Jga
So is the interface to JSM and Jga proprietory (closed)
or just undocumented?
For example, in Unix, there is no JDoR, and it
resulted in a partial workaround of representing
output in a recent Mac client example, which was
pointed out to be unsatisfactory.
