[cffi-devel] Strange equivalence

[Juan Jose Garcia-Ripoll]

In the file cffi-ecl.lisp of I find the equivalence table

(:char            :byte            "char")
(:unsigned-char   :unsigned-byte   "unsigned char")

that associates, for the ECL port, a byte with the CFFI :char type. Is this
intended per-specification? Why not using ECL's :char type, which might be
more than one byte if the compiler and operating system expect so?
