[cells-devel] God bless Lispworks

[Kenny Tilton]

Lispworks wasted no time going straight upside my head over an oddity 
caused by Freeglut history, I think: fonts are identified by enums 0, 1, 
2 etc, but the parameter is declared in C as a pointer to a font! God 
bless static typing.

AllegroCL I guess does things helpfully in this regard if speed/safety 
are set right, if not it does things insanely/silently. Lispworks just 
slapped me. The upsetting thing is that a couple of hours ago I happened 
to notice that some calls to the glut font functions had the ID wrapped 
in (make-ff-pointer...) and others did not. I know I was tired at that 
point because one of my cardinal rules is to fix anything like that 
whether or not I think it is related.

Now Lispworks is yelling about something else. I do not think it should 
be, but I have to give LW the benefit of the doubt.
