Hi All,
just wanted to report that as of Alien-eem.35 and
https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/vm/commit/da3fafdec9444754af104e0ed9f613f6eb1888d9
we now have functional callbacks on all x86 platforms, ARM32 platforms and
x86_64 platforms.
There's a simple example Alien class>>exampleCqsort that shows how to use
the system and tests the implementation using the C library's sort quick
sort implementation that takes a function pointer as an argument to use for
comparing pairs of elements. This is mapped onto a Smalltalk block by
Alien's callback implementation. The example sorts 100 random
double-precision floats using qsort and a callback into Smalltalk.
_,,,^..^,,,_
best, Eliot
