[fetter-devel] Quick CFFI update

[Luis Oliveira]

[Rayiner/Kenny these mails should be sent to cffi-devel only right? If 
you agree, I'll be sending future mails about CFFI to cffi-devel only.]

Hello,

I pushed my preliminary support for foreign globals to my darcs CFFI 
tree:

   http://common-lisp.net/project/cffi/darcs/cffi-luis

It works with sbcl/openmcl/clisp/cmucl (actually I haven't tested with 
clisp yet) but requires a patch to clisp[1] and to sbcl[2] too.

I'm interested in your comments, and I had few questions in my notes 
but I'll leave those for tomorrow as I'm a bit tired (and sore, and 
dizzy) atm because I had a little problem today with a bike[3], a 
stairway and the desire to jump the latter using the former with too 
much speed and little experience/skills. :-)

Ah yes, the semantics of cffi-sys:foreign-var-address aren't well 
defined yet. Namely when the var doesn't exist different things happen 
with different lisps.

Do you think I should work on porting the existing features to other 
lisps to answer your previous concerns, Kenny?

Bye,



[2] James nicely told me how to patch clisp for global lookup
     to work. I'm attaching the patch..

     Someone sent me a fix, which didn't make it to mailing list
     for some reason. (I attached it)
