[cffi-devel] Foreign-library enhancements
The attached patch adds a :type attribute to foreign libraries(:system or :wrapper), per-library search paths(needed for cffi-grovel wrappers) and a function list-foreign-libraries. It also adds the readers foreign-library-type, foreign-library-search-path and foreign-library-loaded-p. Any objections against merging this ? -- Stelian Ionescu a.k.a. fe[nl]ix Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur. http://common-lisp.net/project/iolib

I haven't been following your work closely. What was the distinction between :system and :wrapper libraries? Thanks, Daniel

:wrapper libraries are those auto-generated by cffi-grovel, while :system libraries are those installed on the machine (/lib, /usr/lib, etc...) -- Stelian Ionescu a.k.a. fe[nl]ix Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur. http://common-lisp.net/project/iolib

could their name contain the word "grovel" in any way? my english is lacking for this, but it would be much more intuitive than :wrapper...
Another idea would be that cffi-grovel subclasses cffi:foreign-library and do something with that. Not sure if it's overkill, though. -- Luís Oliveira http://student.dei.uc.pt/~lmoliv/

I tried that too, but ATM it's useless: I got to the point where I had the classes foreign-library, system-library and wrapper-library but only foreign-library needed initialization(after refactoring, the other two classes had empty initialize-instance methods). The difference between :system and :wrapper libraries is only intentional, not factual. -- Stelian Ionescu a.k.a. fe[nl]ix Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur. http://common-lisp.net/project/iolib

ok, I made that :grovel-wrapper -- Stelian Ionescu a.k.a. fe[nl]ix Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur. http://common-lisp.net/project/iolib
