[Glass] UKSTUG Meeting: Esteban Lorenzano - Pharo-CIG: C++ Interface Generator - 23 April 2025

[UK Smalltalk]

For our April meeting, we'll be hosting Pharo's Esteban Lorenzano to talk
about Pharo-CIG - a C++ Interface Generator.

The Pharo FFI (Foreign Function Interface) system is an excellent tool that
enables Pharo users to create bindings with external C libraries. However,
there's a significant drawback that often discourages its use: the bindings
must be manually created, a process that can be slow and prone to crashes.
Pharo-CIG ( https://github.com/estebanlm/pharo-cig ) proposes a solution to
bridge that gap.

Esteban Lorenzano ( https://github.com/estebanlm/ ) studied Computer
Sciences at Universidad de Buenos Aires, and worked since 1994 in several
object-oriented and low-level technologies, in different software
companies, serving in various positions from programmer to senior
architect. In 2007 he co-founded Smallworks to offer Pharo-based agile
development projects. Since 2012 he dedicated full time to developing the
Pharo code and community. He works with the INRIA-EVREF team in Lille,
France, as core developer for Pharo, being responsible with the
coordination of new releases and the implementation and maintenance of
several Pharo libraries.

This will be an online meeting.

If you'd like to join us, please sign up in advance on the meeting's Meetup

Don’t forget to bring your laptop and drinks!
