Why not defcstruct (suitably enhanced, of course) for everything? I don't want to preclude calling by reference those foreign structures I also need to call by value. So something that's called exclusively by reference should work too. If an application which only calls by reference doesn't want to use the translators, we can leave them undefined. _______________________________________________ cffi-devel mailing list cffi-devel@common-lisp.net http://lists.common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cffi-devel
