[Chicken-users] New "easy" FFI

[felix]

Hiya!

Chicken got a new FFI interface (informally called the "easy" FFI).
It parses a subset of C and generates procedure and variable bindings
from declarations, like this:

#>! #include <math.h>

#define my_pi 3.14

int var = 99;
extern double sin(double);
<#

(print (sin my_pi))
(print (var))
(var 123)
(print (var)) ; now 123

The parser does basic macro substitution, handles simple macros,
enums, typedefs, variable declarations and function prototypes.
Most preprocessor commands are implemented.

To play with it, you need to fetch the current CVS sources.


cheers,
felix
