Good point. All of my platforms are LP64 (Mac OS X and Linux x86-64), and my main objective at present is to get this working for an application I'm committed to build, so I was ignoring those sorts of cross-platform details. Perhaps there would need to be new primitives for the basic size of each relevant C type? I'm anxious to hear what Eliot might have to say about this since he's got about 2000x more experience with this than I do. -- Ken Treis Miriam Technologies, Inc. _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
