[GSLL-devel] grid, foreign-array, fsbv and libffi

Hi Liam,

Recently, I tried getting foreign-array working on windows (with sbcl). I noticed that foreign-array uses fsbv (apparently) and fsbv uses libffi. I haven't dug around in the code yet, but I was wondering if you have a quick explanation why libffi is used, and why cffi is not sufficient. The reason I ask is because I'm wondering if it would be possible to hack it under windows so it doesn't need libffi (which apparently is quite difficult to get working there).

Thanks, Sumant
