CFFI, the Common Foreign Function Interface, purports to be a portable
|
||
|
|
foreign function interface for Common Lisp. The CFFI library is
|
||
|
|
composed of a Lisp-implementation-specific backend in the CFFI-SYS
|
||
|
|
package, and a portable frontend in the CFFI package.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The CFFI-SYS backend package defines a low-level interface to the
|
||
|
|
native FFI support in the Lisp implementation. It offers operators for
|
||
|
|
allocating and dereferencing foreign memory, calling foreign
|
||
|
|
functions, and loading shared libraries. The CFFI frontend provides a
|
||
|
|
declarative interface for defining foreign functions, structures,
|
||
|
|
typedefs, enumerated types, etc. It is implemented in portable ANSI CL
|
||
|
|
making use of the low-level operators exported by CFFI-SYS.

|
||
|
|
installation instructions.
