Arguments: name
The use of this function is deprecated because the value it returns may not be valid after a dumplisp and may not be valid if the foreign function is redefined by loading a modified (or new) so/sl/dll file. In the presence of multiprocessing, such a redefinition can in theory happen at any time unless the call to foreign-address and the use of the result is within a without-interrupts form.
This function returns the foreign address of function. function should be a function defined by defforeign or def-foreign-call. The address of the entry point of the foreign function in the foreign code is returned. If foreign-address cannot find a foreign address for function, then an error is signaled.
See ftype.htm for information on foreign types in Allegro CL and foreign-functions.htm for general information on foreign functions in Allegro CL.
