20:38:42drmeisterWith Common Lisp CFFI - what is the idiomatic way to allocate an array of characters that I can pass a pointer to a function that will fill it with a zero terminated string. I know the maximum length of the zero-terminated string.
20:43:00drmeisterThere is also foreign-string-alloc/foreign-string-free
20:43:10lacedaemonwith-foreign-pointer-as-string will do that, see the example in https://common-lisp.net/project/cffi/manual/html_node/with_002dforeign_002dpointer_002das_002dstring.html
23:15:25dimdrmeister: I had a weird dream/idea the other day with CL and the .Net platform wherein someone would do the same as you did with LLVM and clasp, only targeting the .Net IR thingy this time, so that you could have basically CL#
23:15:47dimI'm not sure if I should thank you for that too, adding to CANDO and clasp, but well ;-)
23:16:30dim(I also more interestingly showed CANDO to a bio drugs researcher in Germany)
23:17:07jackdanielI think that some ABCL fork targetted .net CLR
23:17:41dimIBCL or something yeah, I think, based on IKVM which is a Java layer for the CLR, and ABCL, I believe
