Sorry, but these are "changes" or "refactors" ?.
It is an alternative FFI.
I mean, do these changes affect FFI uses, public interface or something? Suppose I am using FFI in a project, should I care about this ?
No. It is being used in the Newspeak system and I will probably use elements of it in my work at Qwaq and eventually it may be used to augment or reimplement parts of the existing FFI. But that's in the future and so you don't need to worry about it yet.

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.
It certainly was never sent to the VM maintainers.

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

Hi all
I discussed at ESUG with Eliot and he told us that he sent a while ago
his changes to get a much nicer FFI implementation to the VM maintainers.
I do not remember seeing this on the vm-dev list:
http://www.google.com/search?q=ffi+eliot+site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Flists.squeakfoundation.org%2Fpipermail%2Fvm-dev%2F
Whom did he sent it to exactly?
