Yes, you can rely that. The CFFI-SYS layer will only ever handle with those basic types. They are defined in src/types.lisp via DEFINE-BUILT-IN-FOREIGN-TYPE. > Actually it would be nice if instead of a compiler macro I could define them > to be just plain macros. Anything that prevents it? It might work for this particular case, but I'd prefer compiler macros. See DEFINE-MEM-ACCESSORS in cffi-sbcl.lisp for an example. -- Luís Oliveira http://r42.eu/~luis/ _______________________________________________ cffi-devel mailing list cffi-devel@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cffi-devel
