[PATCH] revamp CTypes, part 1, and some questions

Paolo Bonzini-2
This is a refactoring that came out while looking at GDBM conversion.
The root problem is that there are forward references to a class in a
<cCall: ...> pragma.  In the conversion of GDBM, we get

Object subclass: GDBM [

     ... [
         <cCall: ... returning: DatumStruct type>
]

CStruct subclass: DatumStruct [
]

Pragma arguments are evaluated at compile-time, which breaks horribly
because DatumStruct is still undefined (and hence nil).

Now I'm tempted to break source-code compatibility.  How?

1) Requiring DatumStruct to come first is not possible, because of
possible circular references.  (It would work in this case though).

2) Changing "DatumStruct type" to "#{DatumStruct}" seems like a good
idea anyway.  It would match the way types are referenced in CStructs,
and likewise, we could allow #(#ptr #{DatumStruct}) etc.  Do you people
agree?

It would also be possible to add a hack into scripts/Convert.st in some
way to rewrite "DatumStruct type" into "#{DatumStruct}".


If anybody has an idea how to avoid this, please shoot.

Paolo
