well I have to do a glue layer for it any way because the macro  gets an unidentified alien function  error when I try to call it from a defcfun in lisp...I write alot of glue code for unidentified alien function errors but those are for functions not macros. could you help get me started writing a glue layer for this macro i posted so i can call it in a defcfun for c....i have no idea how to type  cast the parameters or how to do a return on them...btw .sorry if i sent  a reply to your mailbox Frank =)

This is a simple code generation C macro, so this is simple to be

Either you write the code explicitly in every use occasion or you write a
Common Lisp macro that does the same.

(defmacro cv-seq-elem( seq elem_type index )
  `( Š

But why do you what to do this in Lisp? I would rather write some glue
layer in C and have much simpler calls from Lisp to C.

Good luck.
