It goes like this. Hello-C is/was Kenny's UFFI fork which added callbacks (for Lispworks and Allegro, IIRC) as well as other utilities. My Summer of Code project was to finish that callback support, port UFFI/Hello-C to other lisps, etc... However, when I was about to start this project (I had some code for callbacks on OpenMCL and CMUCL, IIRC), Christophe Rhodes pointed me to James Bielman's new project: CFFI. I liked the James's approach better and decided to work on that instead of working on UFFI/Hello-C. And it was (and still is) fun. -- Luís Oliveira luismbo (@) gmail (.) com Equipa Portuguesa do Translation Project http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/registry.cgi?team=pt _______________________________________________ Gardeners mailing list [email protected] http://www.lispniks.com/mailman/listinfo/gardeners
