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. + +WWW: http://common-lisp.net/project/cffi/ |
