Seems we should start research how to port exist ECL support code into DFFI as an additional feature, by detecting the #+DFFI feature.

Any comment?

Announcement of ECL

ECL stands for Embeddable Common-Lisp. The ECL project aims to produce an implementation of the Common-Lisp language which complies to the ANSI X3J13 definition of the language.

The term embeddable refers to the fact that ECL includes a lisp to C compiler, which produces libraries (static or dynamic) that can be called from C programs. Furthermore, ECL can produce standalone executables from your lisp code and can itself be linked to your programs as a shared library.

ECL supports the operating systems Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris (at least v. 9), Microsoft Windows and OSX, running on top of the Intel, Sparc, Alpha and PowerPC processors. Porting to other architectures should be rather easy.

ECL is currently hosted at SourceForge. The home page of the project is http://ecls.sourceforge.net, and in it you will find source code releases, a git/CVS tree and some useful documentation.

Known issues

ECL's dynamic FFI (the one that does not rely on a C compiler) is now implemented using libffi (See http://sourceware.org/libffi/). Until another release in which the library might be bundled together with ECL, users will have to make sure that this library is built and available for this feature to be linked in (#+dffi). Otherwise only the C-based foreign function interface will be available.
