[Sbcl-devel] DEF-ALIEN-ROUTINE problem

[Stig E S. <st...@ii...>]

hi,

here goes yet more spamming about problems.  I have code in a package that 
:uses SB-ALIEN:

(sb-alien:define-alien-routine ("z_quit" c_quit!)
           void
           (msg (* char) :in))

This code seems to stumble on VOID, but works fine for INT and other 
reasonable values.  The error message is:

debugger invoked on condition of type SIMPLE-ERROR: cannot use values 
types here

Quoting Dan Barlow:
<dan_b> * (sb-alien:def-alien-routine ("z_quit" c_quit!) void (msg (* char) :in))
<dan_b> C_QUIT!
<dan_b> works fine in 0.6.13
<dan_b> sounds liek a 0.7 bug

I don't know if it's related to the earlier problems I had with 
LOAD-FOREIGN (but I used a work-around Christophe gave me).  But 
I don't think so, as it accepts other basic types as return-values. 

thanks,
