Hi Thomas, Can you share more about the definition of your CallMethod function in C? From the uFFI point of view the binding looks ok…
How are you opening Pharo? From the command line or the pharo launcher? Are you on cygwin/mingw? One other possibility (since you’re playing with C libraries) is to launch Pharo inside a gdb/lldb so you can check the reason behind the error when it crashes.
