Hi, UFFI is prepared to call C functions, all the handling of the functions is intended to call libraries exposing a C API. C++ presents a series of complexities, the main two are the mangling of the names (as C++ allows to have parameter overloading in the functions, the name of the real functions in the generated binary have codified the type of the return value and the parameters), and the templating of types when performing calls with complex types. Both elements (and others) are implementation dependant, each compiler is free to implement in a different way. So, there is no single ABI (Application Binary Interface), there is an attempt to have a single ABI since C++11 but that is not 100% compatible. These behavior can be implemented in Pharo, for UFFI, but there is nothing done in that sense. That is why many libraries and API exposes a C API to use it.

Hello There i am new to Pharo, so as i learn UFFI can handle c code, but i want to know that, is there any way to compile/run a c++ file using pharo, because i made a file for creating a box in FreeCAD using C++ code, so if i can compile that file using pharo than one part of my work will be done than i can start other part.
So if anyone have idea please share with me. It will be a great help to me.
Thanks for your kind help
