If I recall correctly, it means that because Lisp's float types are not specified in terms of C's, thinking of C:floats and C:doubles as L:single-floats and L:double-floats is bound to lead to confusion. I suppose the information about float types, and perhaps all types, could come from CFFI-SYS. -- But you know how reluctant paranormal phenomena are to reveal themselves when skeptics are present. --Robert Sheaffer, SkI 9/2003 _______________________________________________ cffi-devel mailing list cffi-devel@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cffi-devel
