Re: [Pharo-users] using UFFI in non-crashing way

Hi,

is it possible to use UFFI and avoid crashing the image when the called code segfaults?

In other words, can I somehow wrap the call and throw in-image Exception/Error on failure instead of the whole thing crashing?

that’s not possible, once you segfault, you segfault.

Or is the only way to do that have the called thing running as a separate app (e.g. via OSSubProcess) and communicate via pipes or sockets?

that’s not done. no idea how much effort is required to implement, but I imagine is not trivial. Esteban

Thanks, Peter
