[cffi-devel] CFFI/CLISP issues with saved images

[Luís Oliveira]

Hello,

I was just testing CFFI/CLISP by loading the testsuite, dumping an  
image, loading it and running the tests. CLISP crashes. There are two  
problems:

- The foreign library (in this case libtest.so) is not being  
reloaded. Joerg, any suggestions regarding what we should be doing in  
%foreign-funcall (or %load-foreign-library?) in order to fix this?  
Manually reloading the library after loading the image solves the  
crash. I recall CLISP's ffi:def-call-out taking care of this but

- The callbacks become NULL pointers, thus all callback.* tests fail.  
Any suggestions for fixing that? Randomly placing load-time-value  
forms in %defcallback didn't seem to work. :-)


Happy new year!
