Marcel Taeumel uploaded a new version of FFI-Kernel to project FFI:
http://source.squeak.org/FFI/FFI-Kernel-mt.130.mcz

==================== Summary ====================

Name: FFI-Kernel-mt.130
Author: mt
Time: 4 May 2021, 4:51:43.338881 pm
UUID: 5c667740-5577-4541-876e-0be05657a18c
Ancestors: FFI-Kernel-mt.129

Adds (simple?) support for array types such as char[12] or MyStruct[5].

Note that there is no plugin support for array types, which means that:
1. All FFI calls denoting array types will be passed as pointer type
2. Return types might work with atomic arrays (e.g. char[12]) but definitely not with struct arrays because the plugin will just give you a new instance of your struct with the handle, thus omitting the size information.

Still, now you can finally embed array types in your struct definition:

typedef struct {
double d1;
int32_t[5] a5i2;
} FFITestSdA5i

:-)

More open tasks:
- Array types are not cached and created on-demand. See #arrayTypeNamed: for placing a cache.
- #typedef (in Tools) is not yet supported.
