[cffi-devel] Recent changes: makefiles, defcstruct, foreign-string-alloc/with-foreign-string

[Luís Oliveira]

Hello,

Changelog with the recent changes in cffi-luis follows:

Fri Dec  2 07:56:37 WET 2005  Luis Oliveira <loliveira at common-lisp.net>
   * makefiles, defcstruct, foreign-string-alloc/with-foreign-string

   - Use variables for the lisps' paths so that one can easily pick
     different versions to run the tests with. eg:
       CMUCL=/path/to/lisp make test-cmucl
   - FOREIGN-STRING-ALLOC and WITH-FOREIGN-STRING: check if what we're
     passing as a string is actually a string. This avoids
     (foreign-string-alloc nil) => <pointer to empty C string>
   - DEFCSTRUCT now takes an optional :size option and each slot takes
     an optional :offset parameter that overrides the normal offset.  
This
     enables partial definitions of C structs.
   - The previous change forces to make the COUNT option for the slots
     to be a keyword option. Update the examples accordingly.
   ^^
   [ugh, beautiful wording!]

   - tests/Makefile: support for SunOS.
