Hi all,

For a few months now I have been using IntegerArray and FloatArray with UFFI. 
They are pretty convenient since they reside in Internal memory space (unlike 
FFIExternalArray) yet you can pass them in a C function call with the 
"ByteArray" signature.
Now I need the equivalent arrays for short, double words and IEEE 64bit double. 
Comment in 
Class>>variableWordSubclass:instanceVariableNames:classVariableNames:package: 
says Spur already supports them. From discussion with Guille it seems we just 
need new subclasses of BitsLayout (ByteLayout and WordLayout implemented so 
far).

Question 1: What is the value of instanceSpecification for shorts and 
double-words?

Question 2: Both IntegerArray and WordArray exist and refer to 32bit arrays, 
should there be a difference between the two?

Question 3: How will it fare with 64bit Spur? Does word refer to 32bit or 64bit 
then? Is WordArray/variableWordSubclass growing to 64bit? FloatArray too?

Cheers,
Thibault
