    Instances of this class represent external (non-Smalltalk) functions.

    Also, the class provides access to custom functions 

    These custom functions enable you to call c functions 

    even if no stc compiler is available 

    (they are kind of what user-primitives are in ST-80).

    You can register your own custom C-functions in a private main.c

    and relink ST/X from the binaries.

    (see the demo functions provided in main.c).

    If you have the stc compiler, we recommend using inline primitive

    code: its much easier to enter, compile, debug and maintain.

    (especially, to maintain, since the primitive code is contained

     in the classes source/object file - while custom functions are 

     external to the classLibraries).

    Non custom externalFunctions are created, when a non-ST shared library is loaded, 

    and returned by the ObjectFileHandles>>getFunction: method.

    The C functions contained in that lib are callable (instances of myself)

    with the call / callWith: methods.

    ST-arguments are converted to C as follows:

	ST class	    C argument

	------------------------------

	SmallInteger	    int

	LargeInteger	    int	(must be 4-byte unsigned largeInteger)

	String		    char *

	Symbol		    char *

	Character	    int

	ExternalBytes	    char *

	ExternalAddress	    char *

	ExternalFunction    char *

	FloatArray	    float *

	DoubleArray	    double *

	ByteArray	    char *

	ShortFloat	    float

	true		    1

	false		    0

    The returned value is converted to an unsigned integer (smallInteger or largeInteger).

    Notice, that no doubles can be passed; the reason is that the calling

    conventions (on stack, in registers, in FPU registers etc.) are so different among

    machines (and even compilers), that a general solution is not possible (difficult) 

    to program here. To pass doubles, either use shortFloats, or pack them into a DoubleArray.

    For functions with up to 2 double arguments, specialized call methods are provided.

    Sorry for that inconvenience.

    - This is still in construction and NOT yet published for 

      general use. For now, either use inline C-code, or use the customFunction call

      mechanism.

examples

"

    see a sample demo c file in doc/coding/cModules;

    compile and link (shared) it to an object module.

    Load it into the system:

	handle := ObjectFileLoader loadDynamicObject:'demo1.o'.

    get a C-function (an instance of ExternalFunction):

	f := handle getFunction:'function1'.

    call it:

	f callWith:999
