Howdy Guilers, (sorry if you've seen this already, the mail server seems to be refusing to talk to me)
The current (and previous) Guile reference manual mentions Anthony Greens libffi in the "contrib archive". See the last paragraph at http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/docs/docs-1.8/guile-ref/Low-level-dynamic-linking.html#Low-level-dynamic-linking This archive used to be at red-bean.com, and doesn't seem exist anymore, at least not that I could find. I did find a mirror at http://ftp.cesnet.cz/MIRRORS/ftp.red-bean.com/pub/guile/contrib/misc/guile-ffi-970524.tar.gz However, the code has bitrotted somewhat (it's from 1997!). If the manual mentions this code, it really ought to be more easily accessible. At http://users.adelphia.net/~dsmich/guile-ffi.diff is a patch that brings the .c file up to Guile 1.8.0 (with ./configure --disable-deprecated --disable-discouraged no less). I'm not sure if any papers need to be signed for this, no new code was added, just basically mechanical transformations of gh_* to scm_* equivalents and using the snarfer instead of initializing things by hand. -Dale (dsmith) _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
