If I change the foreign-alloc to this, things seem to be alright:

(foreign-alloc :pointer
               :initial-contents (mapcar (lambda (list)
                                           (translate-to-foreign list
'string-list))
                                         value)
               :count (1+ (length value)))

Here I'm manually doing the nested translation, but I would have figured this was done for me just fine.

I have a list of lists of strings and have created the translations below (the arrays end up null-terminated):

(defctype string-list :pointer)
(defctype string-lists :pointer)

(defmethod translate-to-foreign (value (type (eql 'string-list)))
  (let ((foreign (foreign-alloc :string
                                :initial-contents value
                                :count (1+ (length value)))))
    (setf (mem-aref foreign :pointer (length value)) (null-pointer))
    foreign))

(defmethod translate-to-foreign (value (type (eql 'string-lists)))
  (let ((foreign (foreign-alloc 'string-list
                                :initial-contents value
                                :count (1+ (length value)))))
    (setf (mem-aref foreign :pointer (length value)) (null-pointer))
    foreign))

I get an error on the call to t-t-f for string-list, because the value is a pointer and not a sequence. If I change the foreign-alloc type to :pointer instead of string-list, it compalains that ("foo" "bar") is not a pointer (which makes sense).

So, using 'string-list seems to try to double-convert (which I don't expect), :pointer seems to not convert at all (which I do expect). So, any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Here's the error:
