Right now (defcfun foo :void (x some-struct-type)) is identical to (defcfun foo :void (x (:pointer some-struct-type))). If you want to change the former to be call-by-value we need a backwards-incompatible change to DEFCSTRUCT such that a bare SOME-STRUCT-TYPE means call-by-value. I think you're right that adding ENHANCED-FOREIGN-TYPE to the superclasses wouldn't be an issue. -- Luís Oliveira http://r42.eu/~luis/ _______________________________________________ cffi-devel mailing list cffi-devel@common-lisp.net http://lists.common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cffi-devel
