[cffi-devel] For the CFFI gurus: Tcl/Tk: Tk_Init crashes (Lispworks)

Hi you all, the gurus of CFFI ;-) I do have a major problem when running the following code on LW Personal Edition on Mac OS X 10.4.10 Intel: ;;; -*- mode: Lisp; Syntax: Common-Lisp; -*- (eval-when (:load-toplevel :compile-toplevel :execute) (ignore-errors #-asdf (load "~/lw-start.lisp") #-cffi (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op 'cffi) #-net.goenninger.app.debug (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op 'net.goenninger.app.debug) )) (defpackage #:lw-tk-test (:use #:common-lisp #:clos #:cffi #+net.goenninger.app.debug #:net.goenninger.app.debug ) (:export #:main )) (in-package #:lw-tk-test) (in-module :lw-tk-test) ;; needed for debugging ;;; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------- ;;; SPECIAL VARS ;;; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------- (defparameter *tki* nil) ;; Pointer to Tcl/Tk Interp structure. ;;; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------- ;;; DEBUG... ;;; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------- #-net.goenninger.app.debug (defun logmsg (msg-class method method-desc msg &rest msg-args) (format *debug-io* "~&~%--- ~a --------------------------------------------------" (get-universal-time) t) (format *debug-io* "~&*** ~A [ FN ~S ( ~A ) ]~&" msg-class method method-desc) (format *debug-io* "*** ") (apply 'format *debug-io* msg msg-args) (format *debug-io* "~%") (force-output *debug-io*)) ;;; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------- ;;; FOREIGN LIB DEFINITIONS ;;; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------- (define-foreign-library Tcl (:darwin (:framework "Tcl")) (:windows (:or "/tcl/bin/Tcl85.dll")) (:unix "libtcl.so") (t (:default "libtcl"))) (define-foreign-library Tk (:darwin (:framework "Tk")) (:windows (:or "/tcl/bin/tk85.dll")) (:unix "libtk.so") (t (:default "libtk"))) ;;; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------- ;;; FOREIGN TYPE DEFINITIONS ;;; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------- (defctype tcl-retcode :int) (defcenum tcl-retcode-values (:tcl-ok 0) (:tcl-error 1)) ;;; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------- ;;; FOREIGN FUNCTION DEFINITIONS ;;; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------- ;;; <tcl.h> void Tcl_FindExecutable(char *); (defcfun ("Tcl_FindExecutable" tcl-find-executable) :void (argv0 :string)) ;;; <tcl.h> int Tcl_Init( Tcl-Interp *interp ); (defcfun ("Tcl_Init" Tcl_Init) tcl-retcode (interp :pointer)) ;;; <tk.h> int Tk_Init( Tcl-Interp *interp ); (defcfun ("Tk_Init" Tk_Init) tcl-retcode (interp :pointer)) ;;; <tcl.h> Tcl_Interp* Tcl_CreateInterp(void); (defcfun ("Tcl_CreateInterp" Tcl_CreateInterp) :pointer) ;;; <tcl.h> voíd Tcl_DeleteInterp(Tcl_Interp* interp); (defcfun ("Tcl_DeleteInterp" Tcl_DeleteInterp) :void (interp :pointer)) ;;; <tcl.> char *Tcl_GetStringResult( Tcl_Interp *interp); (defcfun ("Tcl_GetStringResult" Tcl_GetStringResult) :string (interp :pointer)) ;;; Helper function: translate int return code to :tcl-ok or :tcl- error and checks for ;;; :tcl-ok.

This occurs on LW but not on ACL 8.1 Express Edition. I have double, no triple, checked the defc... stuff - to no avail. The code had been working for half a year on ACL without problems. I recently switched to LW and can't get to the point of seeing where there's something going astray. Any help really appreciated!!! Thanks so much in advance !

[cffi-devel] Can closures be used as callbacks in CFFI?
by Bruno Daniel 18 Sep '07

18 Sep '07

Dear developers, can closures be used as callbacks, i.e. will the following kind of code work? (let ((ptr nil)) (let ((a 3)) (defcallback add-a :int ((b :int)) (+ a b)) (setq ptr (callback add-a))) (c-function ptr)) Best regards Bruno Daniel

[cffi-devel] cffi bindings generator
by Anurag 17 Sep '07

17 Sep '07

Hello! I have been trying out c2ffi and swig for generating bindings of a library without any luck. With c2ffi, i generated the xml output from gccxml and parsed them using c2ffi. But all i get in the output is: (in-package :cl-foo) I am using gccxml from cvs. Has someone successfully generated bindings using another tool? Any tips that i should follow? -- thanks Anurag

[cffi-devel] Strange Performance Issue
by Mikael Lax 03 Sep '07

03 Sep '07

Hello, I was working on a cl-opengl app recently and I noticed that my textures were taking much longer to load than I could remember. After some investigation I could distill the following test functions: (defun test-1 () (let* ((array (make-sequence 'vector (* 512 512 3) :initial-element 0)) (count (length array))) (cffi:with-foreign-object (data 'cl-opengl-bindings:ubyte count) (loop for i below count do (setf (cffi:mem-aref data 'cl-opengl-bindings:ubyte i) (aref array i)))))) (defun test-2 () (let* ((array (make-sequence 'vector (* 512 512 3) :initial-element 0)) (count (length array)) (type (cl-opengl::symbolic-type->real-type :unsigned-byte))) (cffi:with-foreign-object (data type count) (loop for i below count do (setf (cffi:mem-aref data type i) (aref array i)))))) Now observe the timings (in SBCL) for them: * (time (test-1)) Evaluation took: 0.027 seconds of real time 0.019999 seconds of user run time 0.006666 seconds of system run time 0 calls to %EVAL 0 page faults and 3,145,736 bytes consed. NIL * (time (test-2)) Evaluation took: 9.565 seconds of real time 8.629437 seconds of user run time 0.236652 seconds of system run time [Run times include 0.74 seconds GC run time.] 0 calls to %EVAL 0 page faults and 688,918,576 bytes consed. A substantial difference is apparent. For completeness I also tried CLISP: [14]> (time (test-1)) Real time: 10.952836 sec. Run time: 10.169337 sec. Space: 173015440 Bytes GC: 100, GC time: 0.816611 sec. NIL [15]> (time (test-2)) Real time: 18.55567 sec. Run time: 17.215544 sec. Space: 342884976 Bytes GC: 199, GC time: 1.526577 sec. NIL While not as prominent, a difference is still clearly visible. Now I'm curious as to why there's such a performance difference here, am I missing something obvious? Does it happen to anyone else? Sincerely, Mikael Lax PS: I don't know if this or cl-opengl is the appropriate mailing-list for this, but since there seems to be some cross-pollination of cl-opengl/cffi developers I'm sending it here on a gamble.

[cffi-devel] finding out byte order
by Tamas K Papp 02 Sep '07

02 Sep '07

What is the recommended way find to the byte order of the platform using CFFI? Currently I am using the following: (defun native-byte-order-lsb-p () (with-foreign-object (x :uint32) (setf (mem-ref x :uint32) 1) (= (mem-ref x :uint8) 1))) but it looks like a nasty hack. Tamas

[cffi-devel] Semantics of defctype*
by Rayiner Hashem 02 Sep '07

02 Sep '07

Hi. I was trying to get Verrazano up and running on my machine, and I noticed that generated bindings would not happily C-c C-k for me in Emacs. I reduced it to the following test case: --- some-file.lisp --- (in-package :cl-user) (defpackage :test-package (:use :cffi :common-lisp)) (in-package :test-package) (cffi::defctype sqlite-int64 :long-long) (cffi::defctype* sqlite-int99 :long-long) (cffi:defcfun ("foo" foo) :int (arg1 sqlite-int64)) (cffi:defcfun ("bar" bar) :int (arg1 sqlite-int99)) --- end some-file.lisp --- If you're in a SLIME session with CFFI already loaded, compiling this file once will result in an error. Compiling it again will make it work. If you compile just the cffi:defctype* declaration with C-c C-c, then try compiling the file, it works. Presumably, defcfun wants the types in its arg lists to be available at compile time, and defctype* doesn't make them available? That said, we shouldn't really be using defctype* at all, right? Slightly more clever processing of definitions should obviate any need for it. Sincerely, Rayiner Hashem
