alloc_bool, val_true and val_false throw exceptions in external interface

[TopHattedCoder]

Hi guys,
I'm trying to implement support for returning a bool from a HxJIT function. The reference for jit_function_apply.

if(ret == jit_type_sys_bool) {
    uint8_t result;
    jit_function_apply(func, fargs, &result);
    return alloc_bool(result != 0);
}

This causes Haxe/Neko to throw an exception. Implemented with an int, however:

if(ret == jit_type_sys_bool) {
    uint8_t result;
    jit_function_apply(func, fargs, &result);
    return alloc_int(result != 0);
}

With some Haxe wrapping works.

Hi,

These values come from "neko_init", which must booted from your haxe code before making these calls.

This function is generated in the CFFILoader header.

Here is the code nme uses to boot it:

#if neko
public static function loadNekoAPI()
{
     var init = load("neko_init", 5);

    if (init != null) 
    {
      loaderTrace("Found nekoapi @ " + moduleName);
      init(function(s) return new String(s), function(len:Int) { var r = []; if (len > 0) r[len - 1] = null; return r; }, null, true, false);
    }

   else
      throw("Could not find NekoAPI interface.");
}
#end
