closed this ... no activity for ages, and we now use libffi anyway.

I think this is a windows specific ffcall bug ... no real idea how to fix it ... probably needs someone to delve into the depths of ffcall.

On win32, it's possible to compile gnustep-base with ffcall and libffi using cygwin or MinGW.

When using ffcall, the Test nsconnection_client fails on both systems when sending the (large) struct:
Struct:
2004-03-23 22:42:11.117 nsconnection_client[3132] File GSFFCallInvocation.m: 856
. In GSInvocationCallback Changed type signature '{_foo=cdiL}40@0:4{_foo=cdiL}
8' to '{_foo=cdiL}48@4:8{_foo=cdiL}16' for 'sendStruct:'
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

(This is cygwins output, but except for the last line, MinGWs is similar)

nsconnection_client works if the library was compiled with libffi.

nsconnection_server works at least on MinGW.

Thank you, Carl Eugen Hoyos, ce AT hoyos DOT ws
