[MacRuby-devel] Invoking a block in MacRuby, instantiated in Objective-C

[Laurent Sansonetti]

Hi Christian,

I think I only implemented Ruby -> ObjC blocks support, not the other way around :) I didn't know Cocoa was exposing APIs returning ObjC blocks yet. Could you file a ticket? I will try to get that fixed in the upcoming release.

Thanks,
Laurent
