I'm wrapping the C++ interface of OpenCv and C++ uses the 2d arrays.
Someone from CFFI-DEVEL already showed me how to this though:
((point 1 2) is just my OpenCV Point class wrapper)
(cffi::foreign-array-alloc
(make-array '(4 2) :initial-contents
(list (list (cffi:foreign-alloc :pointer :initial-element
(c-pointer (point 1 2)))
(cffi:foreign-alloc :pointer :initial-element
(c-pointer (point 1 2))))
(list (cffi:foreign-alloc :pointer :initial-element
(c-pointer (point 1 2)))
(cffi:foreign-alloc :pointer :initial-element
(c-pointer (point 1 2))))
(list (cffi:foreign-alloc :pointer :initial-element
(c-pointer (point 1 2)))
(cffi:foreign-alloc :pointer :initial-element
(c-pointer (point 1 2))))
(list (cffi:foreign-alloc :pointer :initial-element
(c-pointer (point 1 2)))
(cffi:foreign-alloc :pointer :initial-element
(c-pointer (point 1 2))))))
'(:array :pointer 4 2))
I do appreciate your attention to this though...I had to go into CFFI and
export foreign-array-alloc myself. Could I ask, if you are or know a CFFI
developer if it might be possible to get this function exported automatically.
I have discovered a real world use for this function.
