Hi!
The CFFI generator in SWIG produces incomplete stubs compared to the Allegro CL one. The case in question are the stubs for Mapserver's MapScript wrapper:
http://mapserver.org/mapscript/index.html
The Lisp wrapper code generated for ACL is pretty much an ordinary Common Lisp. Except for a bunch of ACL-specific functions (from EXCL and FF packages). The functions from EXCL package are easy to replace with freely-available replacements.
But the functions from FF package are a little bit different than the functions from CFFI. They look like more similar to the UFFI but still are not the same.
Did anybody face a similar problem already? What is the best way to refactor the ACL wrappers to be portable across implementations?
Does anybody have improved CFFI generator for SWIG?
Thanks, Victor

I've never used SWIG myself, can you contact the maintainer of its CFFI-generator? Regarding porting your ACL bindings to CFFI, you can definitely do it function by function incrementaly if there aren't too many of them.
