[Ecls-list] UFFI

[Eric Merritt]

Hello all,

 I thought I would report a little bug in uffi.
Considering the how Mr. Ripoll described createing the
uffi stuff thats not really surprising ;) In any case,
following is a piece of code pulled from cl-sdl and
modified slightly for ecl. It consitantly fails on
compile when it shouldn't. I thought you guys may be
interesting in it. (btw, I am using the latest cvs of
ecl) 

 On a side note, is there any information besides the
dev  guide on using ecl's native C interface? Thats
the reason I tried the uffi stuff in the first place
(good docs). In any case, here it is

;;;; Foreign Routines
(ffi:def-function ("SDL_GetError" get-error)
  nil
  :returning c-string)

(ffi:def-function ("SDL_Init" init)
  ((flags uint32))
  :returning int)

(ffi:def-function ("SDL_Quit" quit)
  nil
  :returning :void)
