Re: gnustep-gui and blocks support

[David Chisnall]

Hi Lubos,

Take a look in -base.  I wrote some support stuff that makes this easy.  
There's a macro for declaring block types and another for invoking them.  These 
work with clang and gcc (you can only create blocks with clang, but you can 
call them via the macros).  It's recommended to build -base with clang if you 
want to use blocks, or you'll end up with the runtime detecting type mismatches 
on selectors, but it will still work if you compile it with gcc.
