Hi LiveCoders and in particular mergExt users! Today I have a rather large announcement to make about mergExt. mergExt Externals are now exclusively licensed to LiveCode Ltd. The intention is for most or all of the externals to be available to LiveCode Indy licensed users. We will aim to have little...

OK, this is intriguing... I'll look into it

monte

Hmm... OK... have you checked if it is throwing an error?

Code: Select all

try
  mergBLEStopScanningForPeripherals
catch e
  answer e
end try

monte

That's a good question... One thing to consider is there are various asynchronous things going on here so the call to stop the scan may happen while there are some mergBLEDidDiscoverPeripheral messages in the pipeline so they may come in after. So one thing to test is if it stops eventually rather t...

This needs to be posted to the bug database at quality.livecode.com. Posting in the LiveCode Builder forum possibly won't result in the right person seeing it.

Ah, yes, sorry, too early in January for me to be thinking straight... By silent in the binding do you mean there's no need to include it in the parameter list because it's all just handled for you? Not sure how common it would be but how would you handle the array size coming from an extra paramete...

monte

Would be neater if we could just add an optional List after the foreign type in the foreign handler declaration and it would automatically pack and unpack for us.

Code: Select all

foreign handler Hunspell_suggest(in pHunspell as Hunhandle, out rSLst as UTF8CString List, in pWord as UTF8CString) returns CInt

monte

I've looked at your struct packing and unpacking in undergrowth and ran away screaming... In the end if we need to do stuff like that it is much simpler just to write an external. Which luckily we already have for hunspell

monte

Hmm... you should be able to wrap the C API in hunspell.h but I'm not sure how we handle char *** for suggestions etc? Perhaps ZStringUTF8Array (List?) would need to be implemented first.

@LCFraser thanks for looking in here

Any ideas on the redefinition of __MCLog?

monte

I've changed the repo name in anticipation of implementing templates for other platforms so the new url is https://github.com/montegoulding/liveco ... -templates

monte

The subject says it all.... do we have a plan for calling on a on main v script thread? Maybe add tail to the foreign handler declaration?

monte

I've done some more work on these templates and now have some support for creating Android externals (in C, C++ and Java) and choosing to use either LCIDLC or the old externals.h/c style externals. If anyone is interested to contribute I would like to extend the project to support other platforms. W...

monte

OK, I was thinking it might be possible to add some syntax to the foreign handler definitions to declare ownership or at least whether it should be freed.
