[fetter-devel] ECL

[Juan Jose Garcia Ripoll]

Hi,

my understanding is that this mailing list is devoted to both the FFI 
autogenerator "Fetter" and the "Hello-C" FFI. If I am not wrong, then 
let me now introduce myself.

My name is Juanjo and I currently develop a Common-Lisp implementation 
called ECL (http://ecls.sf.net). This implementation belongs to the 
Kyoto Common-Lisp family, much like GCL, and supports compilation to 
both bytecodes and C/C++.

In the last months Michael Goffiou and myself have extended ECL's FFI 
and in the process we modeled it after the UFFI specification. This has 
been quite a success, with minor projects that include several parts of 
ECL (BSD-SOCKETS, and a Win32-bridge to name two), SDL bindings, etc. 
The next logical step for us will be to implement callbacks, and 
motivated by our previous success it would be nice to fix on some 
interface which is at least compatible with what people use, let it be 
UFFI, CFFI, Hello-C or whatever.

In general, we are willing to extend ECL in any appropiate direction, 
even if it means revamping the core of the lisp implementation itself.

Regards,

Juanjo
