Alien FFI

I'm trying to load Alien-core into my image, in Windows. It complaint about syntax error.

Ccalloc: byteSize "<Integer> ^<Integer>"
<primitive: 'primCalloc' error: Literal constant expected ->errorCode module: 'IA32ABI'>
^self primitiveFailed

Similar error occur to many other methods. What should I do to correct it?

Thanks.

Re: [squeak-dev] Alien FFI

Yes, I loaded the Alien-core-first first, and also the VMMaker support and plugin. Syntax error occur when I load Alien core.

I haven't generate the plugin yet, but I think it should not affect the process of loading in the package, will it?

Thanks.

Re: [squeak-dev] Alien FFI

I've only tested with Pharo what type of image are you using?

Re: [squeak-dev] Alien FFI

Squeak3.10.2-7179-basic.image, I get it from the Squeak.org when I first learn on Squeak. The basic one.

Thanks.

Re: [squeak-dev] Alien FFI

You should attempt your efforts using a pharo image and see if you
have the same problems.

You are missing some pragma support. The relevant method in my image (unofficial) that accepts a variable name in that position is attached.

Re: [squeak-dev] Alien FFI

Alien-Core has this, so is the one you've attached superceeds that?

pragmaLiteral: selectorSoFar
"Read a pragma literal. As a nicety we allow a variable name (rather
than a literal string) as the second argument to primitive:error:"

(hereType == #string or: [ hereType == #literal or: [ hereType ==
#number ] ])
ifTrue: [ ^ self advance ].
(here == $# and: [ tokenType == #word ])
ifTrue: [ ^ self advance ].

ifTrue: [ ^ (self advance; advance) negated ].
(here = 'true' or: [ here = 'false' or: [ here = 'nil' ] ])
ifTrue: [ ^ Compiler evaluate: self advance ].
((selectorSoFar = 'primitive:error:') and: [hereType == #word]) ifTrue:
[^self advance].

Yes. The old one doesn't support primitive:moduleName:error: et al.

(apologies)

pragmaLiteral: selectorSoFar
"Read a pragma literal. As a nicety we allow a variable name (rather

Hi.

I tried that, still getting the same error. I tried to load the package into Pharo image, and it is fine.

Thanks. :)

Re: [squeak-dev] Alien FFI

looks like your image doesn't have pragma support. You must have either pragma support or special code to compile the primitive:error:module: pragmas.

[squeak-dev] Re: Alien FFI

Should this work in the closure-converted image? If so, this would be a
good starting point:

http://squeakvm.org/win32/release/Squeak-3.10.2-Closures.zip

Cheers,
