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?
