Re: [Pharo-project] Pointer types

by Schwab,Wilhelm K

Sig, Thanks for the insights. Your use of the Smalltalk types as parameters should not surprise me (I've been using StructClass* for a long time), but it does a little. Part of what I am trying to sort out is how all of this will look in the things I have going from meta data to calls. You might have just made that easier. The ease with which you drop into assembly language is impressive.

Yes a pointer is a pointer, but there are layers of specificity. If a function expects a double*, ideally passing a FloatArray would "take some work," perhaps in the form of wrapping the argument in a "cast"/adpater of some type and passing that to the function. If I describe an argument to the function as void*, then I do not expect much help. In fact, this is a growing source of trouble for me, because my DOUBLEArray leads me to describe parameters as void* when they should/could be double*.

The scenario I have in mind is a bogus type and whether that can/should be flagged at compile time vs. runtime. Maybe all it takes is a scan for a suitable handler before or after the method is compiled. I ask because I hit a related snag with FFI runtime errors being reported as coercion errors when in fact I had used errant types in the callout definitions. IIRC, Andreas patched the compiler to report the bogus types. >>>> >>>> >>>> "Or, if you want make double* type to use it as a DoubleArray, then you can add an alias: >>>> >>>> MyClass>>externalTypeAlias: aTypeName >>>> aTypeName = 'double*' ifTrue: [ ^ #DoubleArray ]. >>>> ^ nil >>>> >>>> Then, any method which contains an FFI callout in MyClass, will use that alias." >>>> >>>> What is MyClass in the above? Is it the class holding the callout method, or it elsewhere in the chain? I ask because it could be a sore spot for maintenance/pluggability. I'm wondering how you and I would independently add such instructions. If it goes in the external type subclass, then it is probably fine; if it goes in a class that makes the call, we might stomp on each other. Make sense?

Your code on SS does indeed load in Pharo 1.1. 8 tests fail out of 37 with errors that I think are probably fixable. I am browsing it now.
