[cffi-devel] CFFI from git bug with :int64 struct fields?
by Alistair Gee 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

When using latest CFFI via clbuild2 (git:// common-lisp.net/projects/cffi/cffi.git) I encountered a problem with :int64 fields. CFFI seems to treat this field as (signed-byte 32). This is with SBCL x86-64 on Ubuntu 10.10: This is SBCL 1.0.55.1-6548750, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp. More information about SBCL is available at <http://www.sbcl.org/>.

[cffi-devel] requesting help debugging error in libclang bindings
by Eric Schulte 01 Jul '12

01 Jul '12

Hello, I'm working to write CFFI binding for libclang [1], I've used swig to generate CFFI declarations of all libclang bindings, and I'm hoping to wrap those in a nice CLOS-based interface (my code is up here [2]). However I've run into an error which I'm having trouble getting past. Although the following simple C code [3] compiles and runs w/o problem. A direct translation into lisp [4] using the swig-generated cffi bindings throws this error [5]. For some reason the `clang_getTranslationUnitCursor' function always throws an error. FWIW I'll include the original C function headers [6] and the swig-generate CFFI declarations [7] below. I'm using SBCL version 1.0.57 and CFFI version 0.10.6 installed with quicklisp. Any idea what could be causing this error? Could the problem lie in SBCL, in CFFI, or possibly in some difference in state between the C world and the lisp world?

[cffi-devel] cffi-libffi funcall path and :string
by Ryan Pavlik 07 Jun '12

07 Jun '12

For functions using the libffi foreign-funcall path, functions defined with :string parameters still fail because TRANSLATE-INTO-FOREIGN-MEMORY is not defined on FOREIGN-STRING-TYPE. E.g., (defcfun ("xcb_intern_atom" xcb-intern-atom) (:struct xcb-intern-atom-cookie-t) (c :pointer) (only_if_exists :unsigned-char) (name_len :unsigned-short) (name :string)) Calling this fails: There is no applicable method for the generic function #<STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION TRANSLATE-INTO-FOREIGN-MEMORY (5)> when called with arguments (#.(SB-SYS:INT-SAP #X7FFFD8000DC0) #<CFFI::FOREIGN-STRING-TYPE :UTF-8> #.(SB-SYS:INT-SAP #X7FFFECDB7FD8)). [Condition of type SIMPLE-ERROR] This is using unmodified master. -- Ryan Pavlik <rpavlik(a)gmail.com> 425.220.9585
