CLISP - an ANSI Common Lisp

what I meant was "release": patching the clisp cvs head (and uffi) so that
clisp supports uffi ootb.

What do you mean with trunk?
a. the ffi-patches-cvs or
b. the whole UFFI package?

b. Could cause package problems, since CFFI includes an UFFI compatibility
layer, which very likely defines an UFFI package also.

Joerg, is there any hope that you will merge this into the trunk?

Added uffi.asd for convenience, but you must still load
ffi-patches-cvs before uffi!
However, now you could add this file to the asdf definition,
because ffi-patches-cvs can now be compiled.

More macros added as I tested some UFFI code (browsing along
cells-gtk, clsql etc.) :pointer-self, :struct-pointer, setf
deref-array, def-union and many others are now supported.

Still, the deref-pointer / (c-ptr xyz) / pointer arithmetic
issue is problematic.

the updated uffi.lisp now does compile- (well,
macroexpand)-time instead of run-time UFFI->FFI
transformations and therefore pedantly checks the types.
clsql-3.0.4 is better used with this version.

BTW, I think %cast1 can disappear in favour of a
foreign-variable constructor function.

Well, I should now talk less and use the few minutes left to
implement said stuff in foreign.d instead of playing with
clsql. People, please try it out! People, please try out
Pascal's UFFI layer!
