With skimming across the past 400 or so messages on this list I'm not
exactly sure if this would be the correct list to post this, but I have
a quick question regarding NCI's and callbacks.
I've read http://www.parrotcode.org/docs/pdd/pdd16_native_call.htm and
nci.t and I haven't came up with the answer off hand, so I may be
missing something, or it may not be possible in pir.
I have a function I'm wanting to call that is long func(long, long,
long, callback)
and a callback with a sig (long, long, long, long).
While doing callbacks, do I *have* to create a wrapper in C in order to
use them? In the draft doc noted above it says
"However, many callback functions share a common signature, and parrot
provides some ready-made functions for this purpose that should serve
for most of the callback uses."
But I think I may be taking it out of context.
I'm trying to tap into the win32 procs and don't know if I can keep it
all in pir (which is the goal, because I'd rather port bytecode than c
code across platforms)
Am I reading the docs wrong, or is there no functionality to do what I'm
looking at?
thanks
