CFFI too old?

[epipping]

I'm having trouble loading osicat via quicklisp. The error I get is

Unknown CFFI type: :STRUCT.

It seems this is a known issue with older versions of CFFI.

It is more than likely to be the case indeed.
The bundled CFFI is version 0.10.7.1 seems to date back
to about February 2014 at the latest.

It should definitely be updated before the next release of MKCL.

With commit 2bc5964 bundled CFFI package has now been upgraded to 0.18.0 (current release).

CL+J 0.4, to be released soon, is now as functional on CFFI 0.18.0 as CL+J 0.3 used to be on the previous bundled version of CFFI. CL+J is a pretty extensive workout of CFFI therefore I consider this new version of bundled CFFI to be good enough for general service. We'll simply have live with it from now on.
