one of the cffi/TODO items has -> Handle va_list. For now it's treated as any other argument.
Maybe someone has thought deeply about how to do this? Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
[It seems borodust/claw tries to handle this by converting va_list args to variadic lisp arguments - but it still seems to blow up at a cffi:parse-type. Or maybe it is a defect with my Clang-7.0 stdarg vs. what is included with gcc]
The TODO item should probably be removed. DEFCFUN has syntax for varargs and that's implemented on top of FOREIGN-FUNCALL-VARARGS and FOREIGN-FUNCALL-VARARGS-POINTER. The implementation so far is simple, it only takes care of promoting floats to doubles, and chars/short to ints. The test suite tracks whether this works and it seems to work so far. Not sure about what c2ffi needs to do, though. -- Luís Oliveira http://kerno.org/~luis/
