Hi Edi
I've tracked down what looks to be a bug in the mechanism for releasing delegate adapters.
The foreign callable ReleaseDelegateAdapter is declared with a return type of ffi-void-pointer but tries to return the result of remhash - a boolean. On LWW (at least) this results in:
Condition: T cannot be converted to foreign type :POINTER. Call to SYSTEM::FOREIGN-CALLABLE-ENTRY-POINT-NEW-PROCESS-AUX (offset 21) SYSTEM::FUNC : RDNZL::%FOREIGN-CALLABLE/RELEASEDELEGATEADAPTER
I would suggest changing it (and the corresponding initialisation and DLL code) to have a void return type:
(ffi-define-callable (ReleaseDelegateAdapter ffi-void) ((index ffi-integer)) ;; remove entry from hash table if CLR is done with it (remhash index *callback-hash*))
Also, in DelegateAdapter.cpp you have a comment on the destructor that it doesn't appear to be working:
// the destructor notifies Lisp that this instance is no longer used - // at least in theory, this doesn't seem to work right now DelegateAdapter::~DelegateAdapter() { release(indexIntoLisp); }
This may have beeen the caused by the callback/threading issues discussed recently. At least it has certainly worked for me here (hence this bug report) when using a DLL based LWW image (many thanks for your recent example of this). Perhaps the .NET GC is running in a different thread, so the callback was failing in a normal .EXE image?
The full traceback from the bug above seems to support this - it shows LWW creating a new process to handle the callback:
CL-USER 4 : 1 > :bb #<PACKAGE COMMON-LISP-USER>
