Hi Everyone,
As of r7230, there is now a soft dependency from LanguageKit to SourceCodeKit.
SourceCodeKit is still a little bit work-in-progress, so if you don't have it
installed / working then don't worry. If you do, then you can now call C
functions from Smalltalk trivially.
When you load a framework (with -l on the edlc command line, or by specifying a
list of frameworks in a LK bundle), it will now look for a framework header and
parse it. For example, if you parse FooKit, it will look for FooKit/FooKit.h.
EtoileFoundation.h is always parsed, because programming without
EtoileFoundation sucks.
So far, it's only using this information for a C function call interface. I
put together a couple of simple examples, using some functions from math.h as
examples:
C sqrt: 60
C fdim: {60. 12}
C f: 60 dim: 12
The second two forms are equivalent - write whichever makes more sense for the
function. Functions from C are probably better with the first, but ones from
Smalltalk often have selector-like names, so it might make sense to split them
up.
