Yes. See https://github.com/bjourne/playground-factor/wiki/Tips-and-Tricks-Alien#using-alien-callbacks for an example on how to pass callbacks to c functions. So if CreateThread has signature: FUNCTION: HANDLE CreateThread ( LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpThreadAttributes, SIZE_T dwStackSize, LPVOID lpStartAddress, LPVOID lpParameter, DWORD dwCreationFlags, LPDWORD lpThreadId ) You need to declare a callback: CALLBACK: DWORD ThreadProc ( LPVOID lpParameter ) Then a callback maker: : <ThreadProc> ( -- alien ) [ ] comparer ; <-replace [ ] with your code Then call it: f 1024 <ThreadProc> f 0 1234 CreateThread -- mvh/best regards Björn Lindqvist ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
