It is rather ironic that the reason I began this exercise was to work
with mail routing on an LDAP server! The very attribute that won't
display the value :-).
I don't understand, did the C program work? :-)
CObject subclass: BER [
" -----------------------
LBER_F( void )
ber_free LDAP_P((
BerElement *ber,
int freebuf ));
------------------------- "
BER class >> free [
<cCall: 'ber_free' returning: #void args: #(#self #int)>
]
]
Why is this a class method? You should have done something like
free: arg [
<cCall: 'ber_free' returning: #void args: #(#self #int)>
]
free [ self free: 0]
and likewise:
CObject subclass: LDAPMessage [
LDAPMessage class >> free [
<cCall: 'ldap_msgfree' returning: #int args: #(#self)>
]
]
This should also use an instance-side method.
Now it would be a nice exercise to turn it into a more Smalltalk-like API.
Paolo
