Hi,
I'd like to be able to edit a foreign file and reload it into my lisp image without having to restart lisp. I am running clisp 2.47 with cffi 10.6 under XP (not my choice). I can close-foreign-function with a T result. However, the dll seems to still be locked from being overwritten by the compiler. In addition, when I try to load a slightly modified dll with a different filename, the load-foreign-library fails with:
Unable to load foreign library (LIBRARY-15386). FFI:OPEN-FOREIGN-LIBRARY: Cannot open library "c:/v/site/jpars/Project3" [Condition of type LOAD-FOREIGN-LIBRARY-ERROR]
Anybody know how to reload a C library on XP without having to quit the lisp interpreter?
Thanks, Bob

I don't have a straightforward answer for your problem, but I have two suggestions: (1) use sysinternal's "Process Explorer" to inspect what's going on with the DLLs and (2) try the same test case with another Lisp like Allegro CL or Lispworks. (Possibly using their native APIs, in case it's a CFFI bug.)
Cheers,
