fslot-value-fp

$Revision: 5.0.2.2 $

Macro

Package: FOREIGN-FUNCTIONS

Arguments: (type &rest args)

This function is defined by the ACLWIN compatibility package, loaded with

(require :aclwffi)

However, it is for compatibility with Allegro CL 4.3.2, an early release of the UNIX product on Windows which had limited distribution, not compatibility with Allegro CL 3.0.x on Windows. Calling it does not trigger an autoload of the :aclwffi module so you must use the require form above prior to calls to this function.

This function is provided for porting from Allegro CL 4.3.2 only and users with 4.3.2 code calling this function are urged to covert the call to a fslot-value-typed call. (Use the allocation argument of fslot-value-typed to specify where the allocation should occur. Specify :foreign-static-gc for allocation to get behavior equivalent to this macro.)

type should be an object created by allocate-fobject-fp.

See ftype.htm for information on foreign types in Allegro CL. See foreign_functions.htm for general information on foreign functions in Allegro CL.
