it never could.
you need to do a “special type”, who has to be something like:
YourStruct class>>initialize
Char100 := FFITypeArray ofType: #char.
fieldsDesc
^ #(
Char100 data;
int count;
)
but then… you want to optimise that and in field accessors, who will look
something like this:
YourStruct >>data
"This method was automatically generated"
^(FFITypeArray ofType: #char size: 100) fromHandle: (handle copyFrom: 1
to: 100)
you can change that for:
YourStruct >>data
"This method was automatically generated"
^Char100 fromHandle: (handle copyFrom: 1 to: 100)
and same for setter.
(other way will work, but it will be suboptimal)
