An asdf system with (:serial t) and in the :components i have:

(:file "type")
(cffi-grovel:grovel-file "grovel")

i used to have types in type.lisp:

(defctype enum :unsigned-int)

which could then be used in grovel.lisp:

(cenum
      (some-type :base-type enum)
      ...)

Now i have to do it like:

(cenum
      (some-type :base-type :unsigned-int)
      ...)

I am using static-vectors as example because it is the first project i
could find using cffi-grovel other than mine.

(ql:quickload :static-vectors)

;;; at this point whenever i restart image and load it, it gets compiled
;;; i am a CL noob so i'll restart image here, with
(,restart-inferior-lisp ,rest works!)
,rest
(asdf:load-system :static-vectors)

But if i did this with cl-opengl (another project based on cffi but
doesn't use cffi-grovel) after ql:quickload, it just loads without
compilation.

Thanks.
