HI, I have a couple of questions regarding FFI:
- If you want to create a new FFIExternalType subclass, which are the necessary hooks that should be implemented - like #externalType, #externalTypeSize … on the class side and #basicHandle:at:, #basicHandle:at:put:, #stackValueParameterClass, etc. on the instance side? - Is there anything else that should be done besides hooks - for instance another "entries" into FFIConstants class>>#initializeTypeConstants or even ExternalType>>#initializeAtomicTypes ? - About naming standards: the ExternalData class has some methods that "grab" strings from the heap, like ExternalData>>#fromCString and ExternalData>>#readStringUTF8 - these two methods do the heavy work, however the method ExternalData>>#readString more or less just refers to ExternalData>>#fromCString. Is there any difference between "from..." and "read..."? Thanks! Best wishes, Tomaz -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
