The internal layout of the PMC structure has changed, yes. And it will likely change in the future. The internals of vtable calls and PMC structure data access is now hidden inside macros: SELF->data => PMC_data(SELF) SELF->cache.int_val => PMC_int_val(SELF) $1->vtable->bet_bool() => VTABLE_get_bool(INTERP, $1) and so on.

Commonly used core classes are a good begin, e.g.: classes/integer.pmc ... the Integer PMC classes/resizablepmcarray.pmc ... standard PMC array or even classes/tqueue.pmc ... experimental thread-safe queue > Thanks. leo
