UFFI documentation state

Hey Esteban hows the documentation for UFFI going ? I will most likely go down the Memory Mapped File (Shared Memory) for uniting Pharo with Unreal instead of making a Pharo to C++ compiler since it will be much simpler for me but I will need the FFI. Is it stable enough both FFI and its documentation or should I wait more ?

Hi Kilon,

documentation is “ongoing”, but I think the only way I will actually finish it is by answering questions from people (I’ve been pasting there the answers I give also in the list). So I would ask you to take a look into the doc and make all the questions that you want… so I answer, and I will be closer to finish :)

cheers,

Esteban

perfect I will take look and ask all the questions I need answered and I can also document my answers since I am familiar with Pillar as a UPBE contributor. Thanks :)

Re: UFFI documentation state

Yeap I agree, I have taken a look into documentation in the past when we discussed how similar is UFFI to Nativeboost, my only concern is whether things are about to change and what I learn becomes invalidated after a while which can be quite annoying . When I was playing with Nativeboost and NBOpenGL Igor was so patient and nice with my 1 million questions :D

Community support is 50% why I stick with Pharo and considering making professional games with it together with Unreal. Nothing beats the help of a real person ;)
