It's not too difficult to use the built in functionality. Simply scanning for function prototypes should be sufficient. It's not like FFIs in CL where you have to map each type to a newLISP type. Typically, if you need regular access to data in a composite C type, you would define a function that a...

Is anyone trying to parse C header files to auto-import modules. what the build in (import ...) function does is a good start but not generally sufficient as in addition to functions most C libraries also expose a large number of constants and structure definitions, in some cases using preprocessor ...

Well that works. The next trick is to capture events. Not to do this the C code 1) creates a variable based on a structure 2) passes the address of the structure into a function so it can be written too. I assume that I need to (set 'ev (pack ...)) to get a correct event symbol and then I need to un...

Yes Er that will be it.

I don't know how many times i've spend ages trying to debug a typo,

so here is another example. dp is what I had meant to xall the variable not db. Using longer names like display would have probably saved me on this one : )

Here is my code: (context 'CUCUL) (set 'libcucul "/usr/lib/libcucul.so") (set 'funcs '( "cucul_create_canvas" "cucul_set_color_ansi" "cucul_putstr" )) (dolist (func funcs) (import libcucul func)) (set 'consts '( ("BLACK" 0x00) ("WHITE" 0x0f))) (dolist (const consts) (constant (sym (const 0)) (const ...

Hi all I'm trying to get libcaca (an Ascii basically just the basic tutorial that can be found at: http://linux.die.net/man/3/tutorial However i get a segfault at the line " caca_refresh_display(dp);" running an strace shows : gettimeofday({1189337045, 203711}, NULL) = 0 I've tried running the progr...

At the moment I have a Context with a paths symbol that evaluates to a list.
you are correct in that this symbol should be set based on the current platform.

One thing I have missed coming from python is the ability to have load find modules for me, rather than having to know where they are on they are on the filesystem. Writing somthing like this is easy. The question however is what should the searchpath be? currently I'm using: <pre> "." "./modules" "...

(4) Integer and Float Arithmetik You can redefine the integer operators (see manual) and then you get just the same number treatment you have in other scripting languages. This is about the only critisism I would agree with. + - etc should be smarter. And by smarter I don't meen should return float...

Look foward to reading your summary,

Hi I was just wondering if there was any documentation (other than reading the source) on how the newLisp interpreter actually works and what data structures it uses to do its job?

About the only thing I seem to have been able to find is the paper on Memory Management.
