FFI & Windows 7: troubled

CdAB63
Hello,

It seems that FFI-win32 is broken: during load it'll complain about classSide message (meta object). And there's indeed no classSide stuff.

MCMethodDefinition>>actualClass
    ^Smalltalk at: className
        ifPresent: [ :class | classIsMeta ifTrue: [ class classSide ] ifFalse: [ class ]]

How did you try to load FFI? Into what version of Squeak?

Using monticello browser. Version 4.4 All-in-one updated from trunk (all
in one). Latest version of FFI from sources.squeak.org.

I ask, because I know the Installer (head) version off SqueakMap loads
cleanly into an up-to-date 4.4, even though a bunch of tests fail [1].
Are you trying to load the FFI-Win32 package without first loading
FFI-Kernel and FFI-Pools?

Installer squeakMap
  update;
  install: 'FFI (head)'

does the same thing as

(Installer repository: 'http://source.squeak.org/FFI')
    install: 'FFI-Pools';
    install: 'FFI-Kernel';
    install: 'FFI-Tests'

but note that you _must_ have these packages loaded _before_ you load FFI-Win32.

No.

1st: FFI-Pools
2nd: FFI-Kernel
3rd: FFI-win32

But the problem is at MCMethodDefinition, at the message actualClass. If
the test for classIsMeta is true, then it tries the message classSide.
Such message does not exist. Was it deprecated ???

What's the value of className in MCMethodDefinition >> #actualClass?

aSymbol is #Win32Constants
aBlock is: (closure) allInstanceVars: outercontext:

Goes to: IdentityDictionary(Dictionary)>>at:ifPresent:

Ok, this morning I tried:

(Installer repository: 'http://source.squeak.org/FFI')
    install: 'FFI-Pools';
    install: 'FFI-Kernel';
    install: 'FFI-Tests';
    install: 'FFI-Win32'

and the same problem happened while loading FFI-Win32.

I'll try reproduce the problem tomorrow, when I'm back in the office.
(I've no Windows machines at home.) One thing that you might well need
to do - but you haven't mentioned the symptom that it causes - is to
set the preference that allows underscores in selectors:

    Scanner prefAllowUnderscoreSelectors: true.

(The symptom is moaning about "WS" things, because FFI-Win32 has a
bunch of WS_FOO things.)

Yeah. Problem was wicked underscores... In linux I allow all underscores
(compiler), but as I don't use Windows in my day to day life, I just
forgot to adjust the settings properly.

Thnx.
