Just curious regarding Slide 16 [1] which indicates UFFI sequence is...
1. Generate bytecodes for marshalling
2. Re-send method invocation
Do the bytecodes get cached so that (1.) is only down once?
What impact is Sista/Scorch expected to have on UFFI?
Considering for example that the commonly used method...
�� �� ffiCall: fnSpec
^ (self ffiCalloutIn: thisContext sender)
convention: self ffiCallingConvention;
function: fnSpec module: self ffiLibraryName
...has several message sends.
btw, Slide 2 gave me a nice chuckle to start the day.�� Stabilization is a difficult/boring task with highly visible issues which Esteban bears the brunt of dealing with, along with accompanying pressures.�� I'd like to take this random opportunity to thank Esteban for his continuing efforts, and also previous Consortium engineers (Igor) and those supporting them.�� We wouldn't be where we are today without such a focal point.
