Hi everyone,
I was checking the NativeBoost code and I am confused with some heap
allocation procedures, specifically:
NBFFICallout>>resolveType: "It receives a type name aTypeName"
...
"name becomes an alias for aTypeName"
...
binding := resolver nbBindingOf: name asSymbol. !!!!Why is this here??? It
checks for the binding of a type??
binding ifNotNil: [
^ (binding value asNBExternalType: self) pointerArity: ptrArity ] .
Is there anybody who can help me with this?, I think the semantic is wrong
here or am I missing something??
Regards,
Jesus Nuñez
