arbitrary code to test <code></code> tags to see if thats how i add code <code>(cffi:with-foreign-object (img-size '(:struct cv-size)) ;; Initialize the slots ;; Return a list with the coordinates (cffi:with-foreign-slots ((width height) img-size (:struct cv-size)) (list width height))) </code> any guidance on formatting would be appreciated pls disregard last post....the translat-into one it is non-sensical

How do i write a comparable cffi:translate-into foreign defmethod for this cffi:translate-from-foreign?

How do i write a comparable cffi:translate-into foreign defmethod for this cffi:translate-from-foreign? up vote 0 down vote favorite ok I tried this translate-from-foreign method and it did work i have these defined in my structs.lisp file in my library which loads first before all my other dependencies (cffi:defcstruct (cv-size :classcv-size-type)(width :int)(height :int))(defmethod cffi:translate-from-foreign (p (type cv-size-type))(let((plist (call-next-method)))(make-size :width (getf plist 'width) :height (getf plist 'height)))) and my opencv wrappers for CvGetSize and cvCreateImage, get-size and create-image, are defined like this ;;CvSizecvGetSize(constCvArr*arr)(cffi:defcfun ("cvGetSize"get-size)(:structcv-size)(arr cv-arr));;IplImage*cvCreateImage(CvSizesize,intdepth,intchannels)(cffi:defcfun ("cvCreateImage"%create-image)ipl-image (size :int64)(depth :int)(channels :int))(defun create-image (size depth channels)"Create an image with dimensions given by SIZE, DEPTH bits per channel, and CHANNELS number of channels."(let((nsize (size->int64 size)))(%create-image nsize depth channels))) here is the definition of size->int64 (DEFUN SIZE->INT64 (S)(+(SIZE-WIDTH S)(ASH (SIZE-HEIGHT S)32)))it converts get-size output which isa structure here:#S(SIZE :WIDTH 640 :HEIGHT 480)into64-bit integer,which CFFI can handle but i love the idea of the translate-foreign defmethod's so i was wondering if you can show my how to make the translate-into-foreign version of the below from method this would really make my library awesome (defmethod cffi:translate-from-foreign (p (type cv-size-type))(let((plist (call-next-method)))(make-size :width (getf plist 'width) :height (getf plist 'height)))) I was going to try stuff and add it but for the get-size output structure, it isnt a plist so not really sure what to put there for the (let((plist (call-next-method))) part, for the (make-size :width (getf plist 'width) :height (getf plist 'height)))) part, i was hoping to find another method other than the size->64 function because that was made 2 years ago when cl-opencv https://github.com/ryepup/cl-opencv first came out and i would like to make an even better wrapper than that...i've already taken cl-opencv added 100 new function 5000 lines of code samples and documentation and a new structs.lisp file so i would love if someone could help me with all the latest cffi tools so i could do something else than int64...plus the if i have a funtion to wrap where the int64 thing wouldnt work ill be ready Thanks again to all the answerers cffi-devel. you all really have helped my library great. Edit: I also tried it this way, Below is my repl history showing my steps CL-OPENCV>;;(cffi:foreign-type-size '(:struct cv-size)) = 8 (cffi:defcstruct (cv-size :class cv-size-type) (width :int) (height :int)) (defmethod cffi:translate-from-foreign (p (type cv-size-type)) (let ((plist (call-next-method))) (make-size :width (getf plist 'width):height (getf plist 'height)))) (defmethod cffi:translate-to-foreign (value (type cv-size-type)) (let ((plist ())) (setf (getf plist 'width)(size-width value)(getf plist 'height) (size-height value)) (call-next-method plist type))) ;;

Collecting native garbage
by Victor 01 Oct '13

01 Oct '13

Hi, Probably this was asked before, or probably you will find this question somewhat stupid, nevertheless. Is there any kind of a tutorial or a guide into how to achieve automatic garbage collection of the native objects referenced from Lisp objects? So far I found just this thread that contains useful information in tiny bits but not a coherent cookbook style guide: http://lists.common-lisp.net/pipermail/cffi-devel/2011-May/003541.html Thanks, Victor
