12:12:36black_13jackdaniel: you had said about ffi sorry i had to restart my computer
12:14:07jackdanielI said that I recommend using CFFI
12:14:18jackdanielyour dll libraries should work with most CL implementations, not only with ECL
12:15:00jackdanielif you are curious about ECL's FFI implementation, then you can read about it here: https://common-lisp.net/project/ecl/static/ecldoc/Extensions.html#Foreign-Function-Interface
12:15:46jackdanielgenerally it follows UFFI API, which reference manual is included here: https://common-lisp.net/project/ecl/static/manual/pt04.html
12:17:58black_13if had a function "void foo(void);" defined in a .dll and had normal exports and this was built using visual studio how would i call
12:18:57jackdanieldo you expect me to read the documentation for you?
12:19:21jackdanielfirst you load the library (see cffi's doc) then you call defcfun (see cffi doc)
12:19:48jackdaniel(defcfun "foo" :void) ; should create function foo which could be called like CL-REPL> (foo)
12:27:29jackdanielI mean cffi sources or any library you want to use
12:27:37jackdanielcompilation from msvc is covered in documentation
12:28:30jackdanielwhile I understand that reading documentation may be a demanding task for various reason, that's why documentation is written - so a person who wrote it doesn't have to explain things over and over again
12:35:48black_13its funny a couple days ago I though what great guy who did ecl
12:48:10jackdanielbut at least someone *thought* I'm a nice guy :)
12:51:34heisigblack_13: You are not being polite. jackdaniel is actually a great guy.
