  1. …links to libclang-cpp and literally outputs JSON with sizes and alignments. (It is then used by https://github.com/rpav/cl-autowrap to autogenerate a Lisp wrapper.) The older CFFI Groveller [1] works by generating C code which is compiled…

  2. …the ease of accessing C libraries was one of the things that surprised me in a positive way. Using https://github.com/rpav/cl-autowrap one can simply write (c-include "file.h") and the API defined in "file.h" is accessible from Lisp. I…

  3. …The only language ecosystem where I've seen it used is Common Lisp, in the CL-Autowrap library ( https://github.com/rpav/cl-autowrap ). But C2FFI emits plain JSON, so I don't see any reason why you couldn't build e.g. a Python auto-binding…

  6. …FFI, then yeah CFFI is the standard. The other comments addressed speed, I also wanted to point out https://github.com/rpav/cl-autowrap which is built on top of CFFI and can help get a wrapper up and running faster. After using autowrap's…

  7. …additionally, CL makes binding to C libraries really easy via CFFI and things like cl-autowrap ( https://github.com/rpav/cl-autowrap ) so, when there isn't a native lisp library, it's often easy enough to just use a C library in your…
