Re: ISO C binding and character variables

Who has ever claimed that ISO C Binding is trivial?

It was meant to take away the user's pain of looking up the way to call C functions in the "specific to this compiler" chapter of the manual (not to mention the spaghetti #ifdef ... #elif ... #elif ... #endif to deal with all different compilers ...).


Of course, that means that that pain now is now visited upon *us*, the compiler writers. The good thing is that we can fix it once and for all ...
