The following works just fine provided that you pass (slot-ref 'this
color) into print-color:

(declare (unit foo))
(declare (uses tinyclos)
         (uses color))

#>
#include "color.hpp"

extern void print_color(const color& c);

<# 

(define-foreign-type color (ref "color"))

(define print-color (foreign-lambda void "print_color"
                                    color))
