Dear CFFI developers!
Recently we have migrated one of our largest projects from our home-grown
foreign-function interface implementation to CFFI.
The project is almost 1M LOC with almost 1K of foreign-functions.
Previously, we have inlined all of our foreign-function stubs. We also use
FTYPEs through the code for type-safety and optimization.
Having CFFI functions inlined and FTYPEs generated would spare us from
writing those declarations on our own.
The attached patch contains a proposal that we would like to share.
Please, let us know about any modification necessary that would make this
patch useful for a larger community.
FYI: We have tested the patch against about a hundredth open-source Lisp
projects.
Kindly,
--
