Using :pointer instead of :long would be better (long is 32-bit on 64-bit Windows). > Are there any caveats? E.g. what about a 32bit Lisp > implementation on a 64bit architecture? That should be OK in general, because almost all 64-bit OSes run 32-bit programs in a 32-bit address space (i.e. as if the OS is 32-bit). __Martin _______________________________________________ cffi-devel mailing list cffi-devel@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cffi-devel
