this is exactly the example from the manual:
(let ((str (make-array 4 :element-type '(unsigned-byte 8) :initial-element 65))) (foreign-funcall "strlen" :string str :int))
but my lisp says:
#(65 65 65 65) is not a Lisp string or pointer. [Condition of type SIMPLE-ERROR]
What is going on?
This works as expected:
(let ((str (make-array 4 :element-type 'character :initial-element (code-char 65)))) (foreign-funcall "strlen" :string str :int))
=> 4

This used to work but it stopped making much sense when we added support for string encodings. I've fixed the manual and will upload it as soon as I figure out how to build it on OSX.

Do you mean all the :string conversions, or only :string used with unsigned-byte 8?

The latter.
