About https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/Booklet-uFFI
Dear (poor) reader, since years I tried to convince people understanding FFI to finish this documentation. But I failed. Apparently documenting FFI is not important enough. So I stopped to try and in the future I will remove simply this booklet because there is nothing as bad as a half done unfinished documentation. If within 6 months this documentation stays in this bad format, I will remove it from this repository. 15 of Febrary 2018. By 15 of August if nothing changed I will remove this project and all the associated infrastructure. S. Ducasse - ''Even jedi cannot move mountain.'' |
Fair enough.

mmm… message received :)
But! I have to declare: uFFI booklet is not bad. Is just incomplete… (there are three small sections missing). We will never cover all possible usages and for that my idea was always to add “annexes” with all problems emerging and answered on the list… so to answer also something from other mail, yes, I was planning to add that to documentation. cheers!

Take all the questions/answers you will get most frequent question and
this is cheap to do. There is FAQ session at the end of the booklet. The more stupid people like me will be able to use UFFI the better Pharo will be. We should help C-agnostic people to use and master UFFI.
