Subject: bug#13809: Wishlist: support > 10 args to foreign functions
Date: Sun, 24 Feb 2013 19:34:18 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87621h6xkl.fsf@tines.lan> (raw)

The current limitation of 10 arguments to foreign functions is proving
to be a problem for some libraries, in particular the Allegro game
library.

Is there a reason why raising this limit to 16 or 20 would be
undesirable?  What tradeoffs are involved?

    Thanks,
      Mark
