Re: [Pharo-users] Specifying library dependencies in UFFI

Hi Dimitris, I don't get your point about proper C coding, C performance or Pharo crashes. It is not the focus of this thread. How dependencies between libraries are resolved at load-time is dictated by the OS. If the OS offers a working mechanism to specify folders that the OS uses to searc

Re: [Pharo-users] Specifying library dependencies in UFFI

Please note the moment you use a FFI of any language you step to a C territory. VMs tend not to touch the code because the code is already in machine code format. There is zero reason for UFFI to worry about the dependencies of a library loaded, this must happen at the library level that UFFI does

Re: [Pharo-users] Specifying library dependencies in UFFI

Hi Esteban, I understand this is the current status of the UFFI, so I can certainly use the workarounds discussed below. But I hope UFFI will soon offer a more "declarative" way to specify the search folders, kind of LD_LIBRARY_PATH mechanism but in the UFFI. Greetings Raffaello On 20

Re: [Pharo-users] Specifying library dependencies in UFFI

Hi, UFFI cannot do what you want. If I understand well, you have: Pharo -> libA.dll -> libB.dll Pharo does a LoadLibrary(libA.dll), but has no control on how libA calls libB… and is not possible for us to influence it more than the predefined platform ways. One posible workaround (just po

Hi, is it possible to create a metalink on arbitrary amount of arguments? Right now the metaObject and selector must have the same number of arguments, e.g. MetaLink new metaObject: [ :object :selector :args | ... ]; selector: #value:value:value; arguments: #(object sele

Hi Ben, my understanding is that SetDllDirectory only affects the search path of libraries that are loaded at *run-time* with LoadLibrary. What I'm asking for is a mechanism that works at *load-time*, when a library I'm accessing directly depends on another one which I'm not targeting direct

Hi Phil, I'm familiar with all this, but it doesn't help. Suppose my code directly accesses "my.dll" which, in turn, depends on "her.dll" which my code does not need directly and suppose that library is located in folder "". How can I enforce the UFFI to perform the search there? BTW, the
