I got a bit frustrated and ended up searching the source for
‘[\w]opt[[:upper]]’ to find all NativeBoost options. Some of those options are
in fact undocumented:
optMayGC
optProxyLabels
optCdecl
optReturnNullAsNil
optStdcall
optNonMovable
optReserveCallgateSpace
optDebug
optNoAlignment
optEmitCall
optNoCleanup
optCheckFailOnEveryArgument
optStringOrNull
WinUnicode
NBFFICallout>>defaultOptions documents most options but refers to
NBFFICallout>>allOptions, wich does not exist. Most of the above options can be
considered internal, I guess, but the one option I needed (‘optStringOrNull’) isn’t
documented anywhere. I had to step through the execution to find out why my function call
wasn’t working (because I was trying to use ‘optCoerceNilToNull’ and didn’t know that
strings need a special option).
I’d be very thankful if these options would be included in the documentation.
Which documentation? There is one?
And yes this pisses me off.
Note: ‘WinUnicode’ is used by the Windows code in a couple of places, even though the
option name is not valid, according to NBNativeCodeGen>>parseOptions:
