hello, does somebody have experience with cffi-groveler? i am considering including the groveler to substitute a hard-coded set of constants in my ncurses library, and I cannot assess how risky it is to have a groveling step when the library is built.

McParen: I use the groveler for cl-mpi (https://github.com/marcoheisig/cl-mpi), if you need some inspiration.

the cl-test-grid often reports problems (or so i udnerstand it) with the groveler: https://common-lisp.net/project/cl-test-grid/library/cl-mpi.html

Oh, but that is because cl-mpi requires a particular C compiler (mpicc). If are happy with the default, or with something widely used like gcc, there shouldn't be any problems.

it is not only cl-mpi, other projects i checked also show problems on cl-test-grid: https://common-lisp.net/project/cl-test-grid/library/cl-charms.html

Is there a reason why cl-test-grid only tests sbcl-1.3.2 on arm, or does it only show test failures?

McParen
this varies from month to month, i think that depends on who contributes the test cases.

I only need a few integer constants, so I dont know whether it is less problematic to simply hardcode them or to add a dependence to a C compiler, include files, etc.
