Patches for ABCL #14
Patches for ABCL #14
Conversation
The "-fPIC" flag will always be necessary when using GCC-derived compilers as I understand it. Additionally, Solaris compilation options now unconditionally tries a 64bit build. Contemporary Solaris (since Solaris 10), are hybrid 32/64 bit environments where "uname -m" reports "i86pc". Whether one wants the 32 or 64 bit version of the libraries depends on the type of the Lisp implementation doing the loading, which is currently not available in the environment in which make(1) is executing.
…r ABCL. The interactive restart when reloading callbacks is no longer needed. A callable function pointer is now returned by CALLBACK and GET-CALLBACK, which wasn't the case previously. Now down to 25 failing tests! Callbacks "automacro-ly" now get a translation layer to convert back from native types to ones which ABCL expects. This translation is currently a work in progress, as not all cases are covered correctly. (Stas Boukarev) MAKE-FUNCTION-POINTER typo. Refactored to remove compile warnings about MAKE-IMMEDIATE-OBJECT. CFFI-SYS::%LOAD-FOREIGN-LIBRARY tries harder to figure out which library to load. Docstrings added.

Is there anything I could do to facilitate a release which includes these patches? |

Pushed your changes. Thanks! |
Please consider the referenced patches for inclusion in CFFI in time for the November Quicklisp as they represent substantial improvement over the current version including no longer needing to specify a restart on reloading a compiled system and the beginnings of a fix for the callbacks.
There is also a considerably more speculative patch to get the CFFI-TESTS to work under contemporary Solaris installations using the GCC toolchain running 64bit Lisp implementations.
