[cffi-devel] New changes in cffi-luis

[Luís Oliveira]

Wed Dec 21 17:02:35 WET 2005  Luis Oliveira <loliveira at common-lisp.net>
   * Make typedefs for structs work.

   - Make get-slot-info (and thus foreign-slot-value) work on typedefs
     to a struct type.
   - Regression test: STRUCT.4

Wed Dec 21 10:54:27 WET 2005  Luis Oliveira <loliveira at common-lisp.net>
   * Use fli:make-pointer instead of fli:*null-pointer*

   Use FLI:MAKE-POINTER here instead of FLI:*NULL-POINTER* for
   implementing CFFI-SYS:NULL-POINTER since old versions of
   Lispworks don't seem to have the latter.

   * CFFI-SYS-SPEC manual updates & Texinfo idioms

   Patch from: Stephen Compall <s11 at member.fsf.org>

   - Use @var for arguments, rather than @code.
   - Use @deftpx for a chain of type defns, rather than repeated @deftp
     blocks.
   - Use @result{} instead of explicit =>.
   - Use @r with appropriate formatting for comments in
     @examples/@lisps. [didn't apply these changes since they didn't
     play well with the colorize script in the HTML output --luis]
   - Introduction: Convert naming convention to a list of general
     conventions, and define "foreign type".
   - Rename the pointer functions.
   - Document new functions.
   - Use new @impnote macro to add notes, so they can be conditionally
     removed from the manual.

   * Forgot to export %close-foreign-library from cffi-lispworks.lisp

Thu Dec 15 15:45:26 WET 2005  Luis Oliveira <loliveira at common-lisp.net>
   * Untabify cffi-ecl.lisp

Thu Dec 15 09:58:34 WET 2005  Luis Oliveira <loliveira at common-lisp.net>
   * Preliminary support for close-foreign-library

   Unimplemented for ECL and Corman. Lously implemented in CMUCL (and  
possibly
   in the other ports too). Not exported.

Wed Dec 14 11:08:39 WET 2005  Luis Oliveira <loliveira at common-lisp.net>
   * Fix parsing of types to match UFFI's behaviour

   Basically, extra quoting is supposed to be ignored.
   Thus 'foo, ''foo, '''foo, are all valid types.

Mon Dec 12 05:37:39 WET 2005  Luis Oliveira <loliveira at common-lisp.net>
   * Bug fixes

   - WITH-FOREIGN-OBJECT should eval the type parameter. Fixed this
     as well as the examples and tests that assumed it wasn't evaluated.
   - document WITH-FOREIGN-OBJECT in the manual.
   - removed the pseudo ability to specialize arguments on
     define-type-translator. That didn't quite work, doh.
   - removed dead code from cffi-uffi-compat::foreign-type-size
     specialized on the uffi-array-type.
   - uffi-compat: parse (:array <type>) as (:array <type> 1)
   - uffi-compat: reflect the fact that CFFI:WITH-FOREIGN-OBJECT now
     evaluates the type parameter.

Sun Dec 11 10:01:02 WET 2005  Luis Oliveira <loliveira at common-lisp.net>
   * Fix uffi-compat wrt to the ptr->pointer changes

Sun Dec 11 06:45:57 WET 2005  Luis Oliveira <loliveira at common-lisp.net>
   * Added GETENV to uffi-compat

Sun Dec 11 05:31:18 WET 2005  Luis Oliveira <loliveira at common-lisp.net>
   * Oops

   - Missing comma in define-type-translator.
   - Also, it almost but not quite accepted the method specifiers.  
Fixed.

Sun Dec 11 05:22:01 WET 2005  Luis Oliveira <loliveira at common-lisp.net>
   * Type translation refactoring

   - Refactoring of the type translation mechanism, now based on
     generic functions. The only user-visible changes is that you can
     now specialize the on the argument of the translator, and there's
     no type argument now (which was useless too for user-defined  
types).
   - Don't export define-type-spec-parser since it's useless on its own.
   - The anonymous :enum type is gone.
   - Updated manual.

Fri Dec  9 05:30:51 WET 2005  Luis Oliveira <loliveira at common-lisp.net>
   * Update manual: CMUCL passes all tests.
