What the code provided does it it gives you the
ability to use c, c++, objective-c, and Java code
in your Livecode stacks.
For those who have a basic understanding of any
of these languages there is a lot of code on the
web they can use with little of no changes giving
them a lot of extra power with little effort.
These examples are the MAIN LINK to using other
code within Livecode.
I understand a lot of people do not know or want to
know other languages and this code is aimed at the
few people who do now or will in the future.
Providing this ability can attract programmers who do
not use Livecode now but know other languages and
want to use their knowledge with Livecode.
Ah, thanks.
Yes, the shell function is very handy.
In addition to calling compiled code, you can also call
platform-independent scripts from it as well, like Python, bash, perl, etc.
"open process" can also be useful, with some additional options shell
doesn't offer.
And for deep, efficient integration there's also LC's External API
(though I don't know where that's documented these days - Mark Wieder,
do you know where we can find the docs and templates for that?)
