There is no provision in C for dealing with CLOS objects, defgeneric or
defmethod. It simply cannot be done because defclass, defgeneric and
defmethod are not functions, but sophisticated macros that parse and modify
their arguments in interesting (but complicated ways).

My suggestion is that you evaluate lisp code from C if you want to create
new classes and methods. This may be done either from text or from
S-expressions, as usual.

If this looks too cumbersome, could you explain what you want to achieve
and how?
