[cffi-devel] ECL and foreign-symbol-pointer
I have a report that ECL (at least on win32) throws an error if foreign-symbol- pointer does not find the specified function. The docs state that NIL should be returned in this case. This makes use of lispbuilder-sdl problematic on ECL as I make extensive use of foreign-symbol-pointer to detect at runtime if functions in the SDL_gfx, SDL_image, and SDL_ttf libraries are available. Is this something that needs to be fixed in CFFI or ECL? Thanks, -Luke

If ECL's interface is defined to throw an error in this situation, then cffi-ecl needs to be fixed. Can you confirm whether that is the case? -- Luís Oliveira http://r42.eu/~luis/

It is the case. ECL signals an error when the symbol is not found. Juanjo -- Instituto de Física Fundamental, CSIC c/ Serrano, 113b, Madrid 28006 (Spain) http://juanjose.garciaripoll.googlepages.com
