is this valid pragma syntax:

This is not a pragma, but the special syntax used by FFI. AFAIK it predates pragmas.

Ah, ok.

our (pharo) parser can not parse this (does not recognizes the "selector parts" (apicall:module:) right)

Any recommendations how to fix this - fix RBParser or - change this pragma, for example, like this <apicall: #(bool SetCursorPos (long long)) module: 'user32.dll'>

There's nothing to fix here. Either you change your parser, compiler and decompiler to support this syntax, but knowing how things work in Pharo, this is not an option

Why is this not an option?

, or change the methods with these callouts, introducing another incompatibility between Pharo and the rest, to use pragmas and create a custom parser, compiler and decompiler to be able to compile FFI callouts into methods when such pragmas are present.

As we now included this FFI-Examples, where this is used, I would like to find a way that works in both, pharo and squeak. @esteban is this already supported by "our" FFI and just not by the parser used for syntax highlighting or wasn't this package supposed to be in Pharo ?
