Hi Max,
I've just integrated some of my latest changes into a new version 1.4 of
TalkFFI. Amongst others it prints clang erros in the transcript.
On my libgit2 checkout there are some compilation errors.
I've moved the development version to this one, so if you want to try it
just do the typical:
Gofer it
smalltalkhubUser: 'CipT' project: 'TalkFFI';
package: 'ConfigurationOfTalkFFI';
load.
(Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfTalkFFI) loadDevelopment.
TalkFFIExamples libgit2Mapping
version 1.4
- clang diagnostic messages on header loading
- added the possibility to filter the functions in a headerFile using a
user defined block
- added option to check the function availability in a dynamic library
specified during conversion.
- added simple generator that pulls functions into type classes.
Instance side, if the first function argument matches the type class. Class
side of the return type, if the function's first argument does not match
any known type class, but if the return type match a type class.
- changed the NativeBoost generator so that instead of NBCharacterType *
it generates NBExternalString, to facilitate string passing
- fixed uniqueInstance issue
