I should add that another potentially confusing thing here is when you
access the A slot of a B-STRUCT, you get back a pointer to it, instead
of the A-STRUCT by value. For example:
(foreign-slot-value b 'b-struct 'b) -> 100 ; an int
(foreign-slot-value b 'b-struct 'a) -> #<pointer ...> ; a pointer
Probably this DWIM-ish behavior was also a mistake, and you should use
FOREIGN-SLOT-POINTER to access the structure instead (which does work
now):
(foreign-slot-value b 'b-struct 'a) -> error!
(foreign-slot-pointer b 'b-struct 'a) -> #<pointer ...>
