Just FYI (and in case someone wonders), I spoke to Eliot today and it seems indeed to have been a very noisy restaurant ;-) Eliot was referring to his "Alien" work which is an FFI replacement (which we have spoken about on some occasions) but as far as I am aware the code has not been published anywhere.<br>
<br>
It certainly was never sent to the VM maintainers.<br>

I'm not sure what you're referring to but I'll ask Eliot when he's back.<br>

Hi all<br>
<br>
I discussed at ESUG with Eliot and he told us that he sent a while ago<br>
his changes to get a much nicer FFI implementation to the VM maintainers.<br>

I do not remember seeing this on the vm-dev list:<br>

Whom did he sent it to exactly?<br>
