[cffi-devel] Recent changes, new operator foreign-symbol-ptr

[Luis Oliveira]

Hello,

Here are the latest changes in cffi-luis. The new operator  
foreign-symbol-ptr is documented here:

http://common-lisp.net/project/cffi/manual/html_node/ 
foreign_002dsymbol_002dptr.html

defcvar is now more dynamic (the way Kenny likes), it now looks up the  
address of the foreign var at run-time when accessing it.

   * foreign-symbol-ptr and defcvar, etc..

   - defcvar's expansion will now lookup the foreign symbol at runtime.
     get-var-ptr too.
   - Changed a few implementations to return NIL when foreign symbol
     doesn't exist (instead of, say, raising an error): clisp, cmucl,
     lispworks and sbcl.
   - Exported foreign-symbol-ptr from the CFFI package and added it to
     the user manual.
   - Also added missing word to foreign-free's description.
   - Fixed typo in cffi-corman-lisp.

   * Support for my asdf setup.

   Well, support for asdf setups that don't put fasl files next to
   the source files. The Makefile will delete the .fasls directories
   on make clean (that's where my setup puts the fasls) and bindings.lisp
   will save the shared library's location at compile-time.

<loliveira at common-lisp.net-ptr

   - new cffi-sys primitive: foreign-symbol-ptr (still needs semantics to
     be defined when dealing with undefined foreign symbols)
   - defcvar now uses this /at load-time/.

   * Don't free lisp allocated memory on the C side.
