I have been playing a little with cells-gtk and have run into some
problems between SBCL and CFFI.
I was using CFFI 0.9.2 but this triggers a package lock violation with
SBCL 1.0.22 (on x86 linux) so I upgraded to the most recent CFFI version
(0.10.4), but then cells-gtk stopped working.
The error I get when trying to run a little simple demo is this:
The value of STRING is #(71 85 73 32 68 101 109 111),
which is not of type STRING.
ultimately coming from a call to GTK-FFI:GTK-WINDOW-SET-TITLE with a
string argument ("GUI Demo").
Presumably CFFI used to accept octet sequences as string arguments but
doesn't anymore.
Anyway, if I then disable the sbcl code specific code in 'lisp-to-utf-8'
and 'utf-8-to-lisp' in "gtk-ffi/gtk-ffi-impl.lisp", then our little demo
works again.
I have attached the stack trace and a diff for the aforementioned
disabling to illustrate what I have done.
I am however unsure as to what the proper solution is. I suspect that
code was invented for a reason, but it is unclear to me if those reasons
remain valid in the face of the newer CFFI and what we may lose by
disabling it.
I should perhaps also mention that I am running with this in my .sbclrc:
(setq sb-impl::*default-external-format* :latin-1)
in case that makes a difference.
