Hi, David, all
i just want to know, if we can use FFI calls, for implementing an
OSProcessPlugin functionality (or at least most of it).
and if there parts which is hard to implement, i would like to know
what and why.
Once we have the threaded FFI and the threaded VM then yes, because one can block one thread in a read without blocking the entire VM. �But without the threaded VM one needs asynchronous i/o.�
If you want to ask, why one would want to do this.. the answer is simple:
we stated previously, that we want to reduce the VM complexity by
implementing things at language side, when it possible,
leaving only key parts to VM.
This is the main reason why i consider implementing OSProcess using
purely FFI, not because of quality of OSProcessPlugin
implementation etc.
