It seemingly does not: CFFI> (trace parse-type) NIL CFFI> (foreign-string-alloc "foo") 0> Calling (PARSE-TYPE :CHAR) <0 PARSE-TYPE returned #<FOREIGN-BUILT-IN-TYPE :CHAR> 0> Calling (PARSE-TYPE :UINT8) <0 PARSE-TYPE returned #<FOREIGN-TYPEDEF :UINT8> 0> Calling (PARSE-TYPE :UINT8) <0 PARSE-TYPE returned #<FOREIGN-TYPEDEF :UINT8> 0> Calling (PARSE-TYPE :UINT8) <0 PARSE-TYPE returned #<FOREIGN-TYPEDEF :UINT8> 0> Calling (PARSE-TYPE :CHAR) <0 PARSE-TYPE returned #<FOREIGN-BUILT-IN-TYPE :CHAR> #<A Foreign Pointer #x2AAAB963F6D0> 4 CFFI> (lisp-implementation-version) "Version 1.2-r9471M (LinuxX8664)" So, if I understand what you write, this basically means that the FOREIGN-ALLOC compiler macro does not work. I will try to isolate this and ask the Clozure folks for help. Thanks!
