[cffi-devel] Cffi-uffi-compat and clsql-mysql on SBCL

[Alexandre Paes]

Hi Luís,

I've finally sat down and corrected the changes i had made to my
cffi-uffi-compat.lisp file (basically copied/pasted the missing definitions
from UFFI) and did the things you suggested

a) added a dependency on babel to the cffi-uffi-compat.asd file

b) added the foreign-encoded-octet-count function at the end of the file and
added to list of exported symbols

c) added an extra key parameter (encoding) to the function
convert-from-foreign-string, i believe this the parameter name was changed
from locale to encoding on the new UFFI version, i could have simply
replaced the locale parameter but since they aren't even being used on the
function body i thought it was better to keep both and avoid breaking
compatibility with other code.

Please give it a look, i know it's not much work but since i had to do it
for my client's webapp here goes a small patch with my modifications. Hope
this is helpful for anyone.


Cheers,

Alexandre Paes
