Re: interfacing C and guile

[Damien Mattei]

there was a mistake in my previous post, i wanted to say int cfunc
(int,int,char *), suggestion answered to use '*:

(define cfunc (foreign-library-function "libguile-cfunc" "cfunc"
#:return-type int #:arg-types (list int int '*)))

works at this step but gives an error later:

(cfunc 3 27 "toto")
ice-9/boot-9.scm:1685:16: In procedure raise-exception:
In procedure foreign-call: Wrong type argument in position 1 (expecting
POINTER_P): "toto"
