Dear Mr. Oliveira,
In November 2004 I inquired to Xanalys about callback support in LispWorks on Windows and got the following reply:
- When running a lisp .exe, you can only call back into Lisp in a thread that was created by Lisp. - When running a lisp .dll, you can call back into Lisp in any thread.
The first item is an issue not mentioned anywhere in the cffi documentation. Perhaps it is not important for the most common usage scenarios.
With best regards, Eivind Midtgård
Eivind, Thanks for pointing this out. We do need to investigate details like this and point them out in the documentation. Happy new year, -- Luís Oliveira http://student.dei.uc.pt/~lmoliv/ Equipa Portuguesa do Translation Project http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/registry.cgi?team=pt

If you do that, then please be specific in the documentation about which implementation versions it applies to (because really you are duplicating things that should be documented by the implementation and might change). __Martin
