all FFI tests pass. In an earlier email I gave ab ecmple of incoking an FFI call that uses the cdecl

FFI calls are not pragmas. They support different syntax, so they are

language extensions.

thx,



makes sense. in terms of FFI the <generated> is just documentation/marker stuff for use by the FFI test . Those classes, themselves are not Tests.





Here is my current thinking, there are x possiblities.



.



possibility 1. The <apicall:module> is a marker/tag used by "something" to insert platform specific method code . I see this approach  in OGLExtManager loadExtension:

in this possibility, then the fact that it is not recognized as a Pragma would explain the failure to replace the code.


possiblity 2. the <apicall:module:> is an actual call

if this is the case, it does not work, and I need a butt-simple library call to test this possibility.

Or, I need to find all existing <apicall:module:>  methods and see if they work.


thank you for your time




As we mentioned before, get the plain FFI test working before you try *anything* with OpenGL.
