Thank you for your answer.
Actually, I have an additional clue, which make me think that it is not related with garbage collection. If, in Lispworks, I use a wrapped function on the pointer to the C object (e.g. to get the arity), it works fine !
It seems that I just can't call a function which print some information about the object in a C++ function, wrapped to be used in LispWorks ... If I do it, I get the error :
lispworks-personal-6-0-1-macos-universal(49641,0xb0314000) malloc: *** error for object 0x17bfc0f8: pointer being freed was not allocated *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
I don't get how it can work in SBCL and not in LispWorks, and I have no clue because I don't know the internal implementation of LispWorks.
I would really appreciate a little bit of your help.

Hello everybody,
I am using SWIG to generate CFFI code to be used into LispWorks 6. The interface is between C++ and Common Lisp. Then, I try to call that function from LispWorks :
std::string test() { freopen ("/tmp/mystdout.txt","w",stdout); freopen ("/tmp/mystderr.txt","w",stderr); std::cout << "Redirected stdout." << std::endl; std::cerr << "Redirected stderr." << std::endl;
GRelation testgr(3);
std::cout << "test ! " << std::endl; std::cerr << "test cerr! " << std::endl; std::cout << testgr.arity() << std::endl; std::cerr << testgr.arity() << std::endl; std::cout << "test after! " << std::endl; std::cerr << "test cerr after! " << std::endl; std::stringstream os; os << testgr << std::endl ; return os.str(); }
As you can see, I just create one object and print lots of stuff, including an object attribute. Everything I print before trying to print the attribute prints ok in the redirected outputs. The attribute is not printed and nothing else afterwards. I also get the following error when I add testgr to the stringstream os :
lispworks-personal-6-0-1-macos-universal(52881,0xb0314000) malloc: *** error for object 0x17be20f8: pointer being freed was not allocated
This is what happen in LispWorks. If I compile directly in C++, no problem. If I use SBCL (other Common Lisp implementation) instead of LispWorks, everything works correctly ! The problem is that I have to use LispWorks ...
Does anybody has had a similar problem ? I guess I am not the only one who tried to call some C++ from LispWorks. Any clue is very welcome. I think maybe the problem can be linked to the garbage collection from LispWorks but I don't know much about this.
I thank you in advance for your help, I am really stuck here.
I don't see how garbage collection can cause it, because malloc is not affected by the LispWorks GC (unless something is doing bad things with finalization routines).
