DLLCC

hello,

actually, i want to invoke a C function from Smalltalk that accepts "-v" as the input parameter...

the function prototype in C is "int main (int argc, char **argv)"...

i'm calling this function from Smalltalk as:

InterfaceApplication new dec: 1 with: ''

i dont know how can i pass -v parameter from Smalltalk to the C function ....any ideas????

where the method is declared as follows:

dec: argc with: argv
    <C: int main(int argc, char * * argv)>
    ^self  externalAccessFailedWith: _errorCode

thanks/regards
David

Today, I thought I'd try something new, and write a couple of interfaces
to exploit GL extensions created since version 1.1 shipped with windows
(which is what Jun supports).

When running an example (JunOpenGLInterface example1 to be specific),
checking the gl extensions available using (interface glGetString:
interface GL_EXTENSIONS) only a few came up though, and a quick check of
VENDOR (Microsoft) and VERSION ( 1.1.0) revealed it wasn't using the ICD
of the gfx-card manufacturer...

At first, I tried adding nvoglnt.dll (my ICD) to the "libraryFiles" of
JunWglInterface and running JunOpenGLResource installInterface again.
This did not work though, and after searching the net a bit, I ran into
the PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR struct, and how enabling the
PFD_GENERIC_FORMAT flag could disable hardware acceleration.
The JunWglWindowHandle which is used in example1 doesn't enable that
though, but stepping through its initializeFor: method , I finally
noticed the "OpenGLInterface ChoosePixelFormat: deviceContextHandle
with: pixFormatDesc" does...

I ran other tests as well ( after setting JunWglDIBHandle playForSafety
to false ), but all seemed to exhibit this behaviour.

Which, if I have read the MSDN documentation on ChoosePixelFormat
correctly, means the deviceContext (which in the example1 case is a
pointer to a normal applicationwindow) doesn't support hardware
acceleration, and thus reverts it to software.
My question is: Why doesn't it? And more importantly, does anyone know
how to make it work? ;)

Sorry for the long story, and thanks in advance for any advice!
