What does "cannot find callback signature" mean from #signature:block:? I'm stuck.

yeah... sorry about that is a bug on FFI... I managed to worked around it for HPDF, for a customer's project... but of course is not a good and definitive solution.
best, Esteban

This is gonna take a while... I had structs flying around as void* and was moderately happy. Nonetheless, your suggestion worked, provided I add a lot getHandle asInteger and change the void* to long :(

I also found some problems using void* in linux... maybe you want to use long (which has same size)... I "fixed" my problems that way.
yes... maybe we need to look at FFI to see why void* has problems some times, but well, that can help you atm (sorry for not having a better answer)

Another glitch: is there any problem passing things as void*? I'm getting failure to coerce errors that did not arise before.
No idea. As you may suspect, i stopped using FFI/Alien once i got NativeBoost toy to play with.
Please file the issue, describing the problem. so we can look over it and fix it.

Does 1.3 by default not create field accessors? Why is that? I thought nothing was happening.
Good question, i'd like to know the answer too. It is related to MC final 'installation' phase, where it initializing all classes.
In NativeBoost i was also using
noteCompilationOf: aSelector meta: isMeta "A hook allowing some classes to react to recompilation of certain selectors"
but there was a big question, at which point this hook is triggered, and looks like some changes in MC stop triggering it/triggering at wrong time (not all methods get into a class/ class not initialized etc), which makes it not very useful.
So i ended up creating a DNU handler on instance side, then on DNU i check if i have field accessors and if not, compile them on the fly.
