Hi Bill, Yes, Alien already support callbacks... maybe you can try it instead recompiling every time :) Cheers, Esteban El 23/12/2010, a las 6:22p.m., Schwab,Wilhelm K escribió:
Esteban,
FW(very little)IW, my first reaction as I started reading was "has he thought about native boost or alien?" Callbacks have been in a possible-but-not-supported state for a long time. I believe Eliot recently mentioned callbacks in FFI, so it seems to be an idea that is solidifying.
At present, I have .so that exports functions in lieu of callbacks. I have to recompile the library to change anything :( but it's number crunching so I get C speed for my trouble :) The functions are used small numbers of times, so Smalltalk speed and flexibility would be preferable for all of my uses to date ~:0
Good hunting!
Bill
