What the manual describes is a low level implementation of the FFI:
one based on the use of ffi:c-inline, another one based on building
direct calls to functions. You do not need to care abou these details
if you use one of the higher level interfaces UFFI or CFFI. If your
system supports the DFFI interface, then the appropriate calls will be
generated. Otherwise you will need to always compile lisp any lisp
file that contains FFI definitions.
