Anyone here using FFI (and possibly ODBC) with Pharo?

Yes I am, in SqueakDBX. For latests Pharo images (closure images) you need FFI-Kernel-ar.9 (the latest FFI version). You can simply evaluate: ScriptLoader loadFFI.

Which OS are you using? I test it here in Windows and have the same results, the image crash. In Linux I think I don't have this problem.

Andres, do you know what can be the problem?

Sorry, what was the question?

Download latest Windows VM (Squeak 3.11.2) from Pharo webpage. Then evaluate ScriptLoader loadFFI and try to run FFI tests. The image will crash! Thanks! Mariano

Cheers, - Andreas

Anyway, FFI is working well (without taking in mind FFI tests). I have SqueakDBX perfectly working (and it uses FFI).

For ODBC: I can told you 2 things:

1) Search in this list because there was a topic about this in this week ( http://n2.nabble.com/ODBC-on-Pharo--td3152288.html#a3152288) and there should be more.

2) You can try SqueakDBX instead of ODBC. It has not only an ODBC backend, but also Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sqlite3 and MS SQLServer. It also works in Linux, Mac and Windows (depends on the database). And finally, when possible, we use asynchronous queries so that to lock the VM as little as possible. For further information, read our wiki: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6052

Best,

Mariano

Trying the SUnit tests that comes with the package makes the VM crash. BAM! Quick & simple exit as soon as I run it! ----------------- Benoit St-Jean Yahoo!
