Fwd: Re: [Ecls-list] cl_def_c_function()

[Michael O'Connor]

That works, in that the called function returns values
correctly to the Lisp interpreter, but my called
function is not receiving any arguments from the Lisp
interpreter other that the context (closure) data.

Do I need to do something in the call to
cl_make_cclosure_va() to indicate the number of
arguments the callback function is expecting (similar
to the nargs argument to cl_def_c_function())?

Thanks,

Michael
