[cffi-devel] Linking CL to fortran-77 via cffi

Hello,

Several projects (lla, blapack among them) link common lisp (cl) to fortran 77 (f77)code. Unfortunately, being totally unfamiliar with cffi, I was having trouble using those packages to learn how to link cl to other f77 code.

To learn more about calling f77 code from CL, I assembled a bunch of simple examples (using cygwin+clisp+gfortran).to show how to pass values of various types to f77.

I have put up the examples on https://github.com/mirkov/cffi-f77. I tried to add enough documentation to make the package easily understandable.

I hope this proves useful to others. I would appreciate comments regarding errors and improvements.

And, as always, thanks for cffi :-)
