I assume that I have a pointer to an Eiffel object, I know what its type (i.e. class) is and I want to call one particular method. Now, what's the way to do this from C? Any takers from Interactive? For the curious: I need this to be able to do callbacks in a window-system environment; the low-level window stuff has to be in C, but I have to be able to call Eiffel routines for the high-level event handling. Any help would be greatly appreciated -- Alexander Klaiber klaiber@cs.washington.edu
