Hi everyone,

I was checking the NativeBoost code and I am confused with some heap allocation procedures, specifically:

NBFFICallout>>resolveType: "It receives a type name aTypeName"�

� � � � ...

� � � � "name becomes an alias for aTypeName"

� � � � ...

binding := resolver nbBindingOf: name asSymbol. �!!!!Why is this here??? It checks for the binding of a type??

binding ifNotNil: [�

^ (binding value asNBExternalType: self) pointerArity: ptrArity ] .

Is there anybody who can help me with this?, I think the semantic is wrong here or am I missing something??

Regards,

Jesus Nu�ez

Yes, and we really need to fix all the small hurdles people encounter� and improve the documentation for people not already knowing things..
