node-ffi lets you write JS that crashes node, because you are manipulating low-level constructs from JS. That's rather worse than having C++ glue code crash node. Also it doesn't seem to be widely used. Anything that let you access C++ code is going to have to give you some kind of a pointer access scheme, unless your C++ APIs only ever take and return strings, ints, etc. Which will then let you write code that crashes node. If you think node-ffi is a little too low-level, then maybe you could write something a little higher-level over the top; easier for people to use, less chance they'll write crashing code? -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
