Hi there.

Your current implementation of "parse-args-and-types" in src/function.lisp use destructuring clause in "loop" and tests the end(as i understood) of the arguments list by comparing second value with nil

(defun parse-args-and-types (args) "Returns 4 values. Types, canonicalized types, args and return type." (let ((return-type :void)) (loop for (type arg) on args by #'cddr if arg collect type into types and collect (canonicalize-foreign-type type) into ctypes and collect arg into fargs else do (setf return-type type) finally (return (values types ctypes fargs return-type)))))

but it also causes foreign-funcall to skip argument if it's value is NIL: (define-foreign-type ptr-type () () (:actual-type :pointer) (:simple-parser some-type)) (defmethod translate-to-foreign (val (type ptr-type)) (if (null val) (null-pointer) val))

(foreign-funcall "f" :uint x some-type nil :uint y :void) ==> (LET ((#:G13879 X)) (LET ((#:G13880 Y)) (CFFI-SYS:%FOREIGN-FUNCALL "f" (:UNSIGNED-INT #:G13879 :UNSIGNED-INT #:G13880 :VOID) :CALLING-CONVENTION :CDECL :LIBRARY :DEFAULT)))

Shouldn't that function be written like this(for example)?

(defun parse-args-and-types (args) "Returns 4 values. Types, canonicalized types, args and return type." (let* ((len (length args)) (return-type (if (oddp len) (car (last args)) :void))) (loop repeat (floor len 2) for (type arg) on args by #'cddr collect type into types collect (canonicalize-foreign-type type) into ctypes collect arg into fargs finally (return (values types ctypes fargs return-type)))))

p.s. sorry for my bad english :)
