When I get this correctly then this would be in fact gst_object_alloc( oopClass, numberOfCOnlyBytes ); where numberOfCOnlyBytes is the number of bytes I append to the struct which is not accessible to smalltalk. So far so right?
Yes, right. numberOfCOnlyBytes can actually be just sizeof (void *) with the C data stored "on the side". You choose (remember that if you place data in the Smalltalk object you have to deal with the GC moving the objects).
So I assume if I want to use this approach I have to provide a cCall for #new which creates the object using the prior mentioned gst_object_alloc bypassing the smalltalk creation call. Sounds like quite the hack but it looks like it could work out.
Doesn't seem to bad. Most likely you'd have a cCall for #initialize anyway. Having one for #new instead does not change much.
