Status of callbacks support?

 
Hi Andreas,

I have a couple of questions on the status of the callbacks support
code.

One of the projects we'd like to propose for the Summer of Code is
adding native widgets bindings, starting with GTK widgets. But for that
to work, we'd like to have a callbacks-enabled VM.

Will the callbacks support code be integrated in the main VM code soon?
If so, will it be possible to have callbacks-enabled VMs available
before the start of the Summer of Code (that is, before June)?

        Thanks,

                Giovanni

Have a look at the FFI classes. They are optimized for speed not
compatibility though...

While this may be helpful, it is most certainly not a requirement.

I don't know what Tim's plans are for integrating these changes into
VMMaker. Other than that there is very little change required.

I have a set of VMs (Qwaq VMs to be specific; for use with Qwaq
products) which support it already; if that were of any help I think I
could convince my CEO to lend you a couple of those for the time being.

Cheers,

I think you mean the opposite. The FFI is certainly not optimized for
speed ;-)
