Noted. The support for dealing with foreign libraries is pretty weak
right now. I'll look into this soon, as it seems pretty straightforward
to add.
[2]Also, I have not investigated the reason why allegro crashes, but
one
reason could be different argument passing conventions.
But I didn't find any way of specifying the argument-passing
conventions.
Unlikely, because Allegro has IMHO the *best* behaviour regarding
calling conventions. Things will work unchanged with either stdcall or
cdecl. That is what I would like CFFI to do, but that doesn't seem
possible in the near future, unfortunately. So we will need to add a
way to specify calling conventions.
It'd be nice if you could send a reproducible test case for that
Allegro crash (the smaller the better :-)).
Thanks,
