That's nicer, but fsbv might be loaded for some other reason and thus silently break existing code. > So this is an incompatible change to > the call interface, essentially revoking CFFI's prior generosity in > allowing structure name instead of :pointer.

Just to be clear, the older defcstruct would become deprecated, removed from the user manual, etc. -- Luís Oliveira http://r42.eu/~luis/ _______________________________________________ cffi-devel mailing list cffi-devel@common-lisp.net http://lists.common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cffi-devel
