Hi Nicolas.

Which features do you have in mind? Maybe start with GitHub Markdown and migrate later if necessary?

Best,

I just wanted to backtrack those struct pointers lead to the accessor in Pharo. But it gave me no easy clue that I could apply to plain FFI in Squeak. :-)

Yeah! I will have a look at it. GitHub Markdown + embedded graphics also hosted on GitHub could work. And support pull requests. :-) Maybe put it into the osvm repository.

Hi Marcel,
this was my exact intention, but I wanted some more powerful Markdown, so considering either pandoc or pilar...

Best,
Marcel

Hi all,
I started to write a documentation of FFI implementation two or three months ago, I don't remember exactly, it's an eternity. The lock down did not give me an opportunity to continue. I want to publish with some liberal CC license, but I don't have chosen a support format yet. On one side, I wanted to focus on contents more than on the format. But on the other side, I want some graphical illustrations accurate enough. I wrote in Word because it was easy for me to include tables and graphics, but it's kinda stupid, especially because Word make you focus on format more than contents ! LaTeX is not general enough, it would rather be a backend nowadays. I contemplated using pandoc which has good support, or the much more limited Pilar, which at least is Smalltalk based...
The structure is not well established and the work is very preliminary, but since there is some demand, I give a pdf copy here as is, I hope it's not too big for the list. This probably should better be continued as a collaborative work anyway.

Awesome!
