[cffi-devel] introspection in cffi

[nitralime]

/*Hi folks!*/

Is there a way to get the (meta) information
of structure slots defined by */defcstruct/*?

Consider the following concrete example:

     (defcstruct test
          (a :uint)
          (b :char :count 10)
          (c :pointer))

Is it possible to get info like type, (array-)size
of the slots /*a, b* /and /*c*/ by only introspecting '/*test*/'?
Something like

(foreign-slot-type 'test 'a) /*==> :char*/
     (foreign-slot-count 'test 'b) /*==> 10*/

would be very useful!

Regards
Nik
