[cffi-devel] Recent changes: darwin/ppc32 alignment, etc..

[Luís Oliveira]

Hello,

So, the alignment in structures is now correctly calculated under  
darwin/ppc. I made every cffi-sys implementation push :darwin  
and :ppc32 into features in order to implement this "portably."

I wonder if it would make sense to define a set of machine/os  
features that every cffi-sys implementation should push into  
*features* (if not present already) for the benefit of CFFI users.  
Ie. being able to say #+darwin instead of #+(or macos macosx darwin- 
target etc..).


Changelog follows:

Mon Nov 14 19:41:20 WET 2005  Luis Oliveira <loliveira at common-lisp.net>
   * darwin/ppc32 ABI structure alignment

   - Normalize the different implementation features (:powerpc, :macos,
     :macosx32) into :ppc32 and :darwin.
   - Force Allegro, CLISP, Lispworks, SBCLto return 8 as :double's
     alignment on darwin/ppc32
   - Correctly calculate alignments for darwin/ppc32's strange ABI.
   - New tests: STRUCT.ALIGNMENT.[567].
