New subject: [cffi-devel] For the CFFI gurus: Tcl/Tk: Tk_Init crashes (Lispworks)

20 Sep 2007

      Hi you all, the gurus of CFFI ;-)

I do have a major problem when running the following code on LW  
Personal Edition on Mac OS X 10.4.10 Intel:

;;; -*- mode: Lisp; Syntax: Common-Lisp; -*-

(eval-when (:load-toplevel :compile-toplevel :execute)
   (ignore-errors
      #-asdf (load "~/lw-start.lisp")

      #-net.goenninger.app.debug (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op  
'net.goenninger.app.debug)
   ))

(defpackage #:lw-tk-test
   (:use
    #:common-lisp
    #:clos
    #:cffi

    ))

   (tk-app-init *tki*)
   (Tcl_DeleteInterp *tki*)
   (setf *tki* nil)
)

Sooo - the code crashes at the point marked "<<<--- CRASH HAPPENS  
HERE ...". This occurs on LW but not on ACL 8.1 Express Edition.

I have double, no triple, checked the defc... stuff - to no avail.  
The code had been working for half a year on ACL without problems. I  
recently switched to LW and can't get to the point of seeing where  
there's something going astray.

Any help really appreciated!!! Thanks so much in advance !
