Hmm… nobody told me about a crash… anyway, as Mark said it’s probably best done in LCB now.
I wouldn't usually suggest duplicating effort / code - however the Toast function is too hard to resist in this case... If only to show a direct comparison between LCB vs C++!
I think HedgeHao's patch adds a number of files, and has to modify the engine in several places to hook it in. In contrast, the LCB would probably be around 20-30 lines in a single file.
Indeed, there's a lot of (specifically mobile commands/functions) C++ engine code which would be better replaced with LCB using FFI features - the C++ essentially for that kind of stuff ends up being 90% boilerplate and 10% functionality; LCB eliminates most of the boilerplate and so you end up just having the code which actually does something.
