[cffi-devel] Recent library breakage
fnv (from git://github.com/blindglobe/fnv.git) used to build, but as of today I get this full warning: ; caught WARNING: ; Defining a foreign type named :COMPLEX-DOUBLE. This symbol ; belongs to the KEYWORD package and that may interfere with other ; code using CFFI. I'm using CFFI 0.10.7.1 on SBCL. What should be done to fix it? Thanks, Zach

I sent a merge request to the author. IMO it should be deprecated because static-vectors does everything fnv does, but better -- Stelian Ionescu a.k.a. fe[nl]ix Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur. http://common-lisp.net/project/iolib

The fix should be straightforward. fnv should rename its :complex-double type to something like fnv::complex-double. I don't have an explanation how this could be a new warning, since it has been in CFFI for 5+ years. Cheers, -- Luís Oliveira http://r42.eu/~luis/

For what it's worth, I don't get any warning in 0.10.6, and that's the latest one in Quicklisp. Zach

Thanks for the extra information. I digged a little deeper a found two things: 1. CFFI was indeed not signalling this warning for types defined via DEFCSTRUCT until very recently. This was a bug. 2. the 0.10.7.1 release tarball had the wrong contents! (release.sh unconditionally archives from the master branch. doh!) I've rebuilt that tarball. Please grab it again and pardon my fumbling... Cheers, -- Luís Oliveira http://r42.eu/~luis/

That mystified me as well. There is one other system in quicklisp from the same source (this is "middleangle" isn't it?), I think blapack, that gave the same error. I don't understand why this doesn't occur under older versions of CFFI, like 0.10.6. Liam
