CFFI, the Common Foreign Function Interface, purports to be a portable foreign
function interface for Common Lisp. The CFFI library is composed of a
Lisp-implementation-specific backend in the CFFI-SYS package, and a portable
frontend in the CFFI package.
Some of the key features include:
- an extensible foreign type system;
- callback support;
- support for foreign string encodings;
- ported to Allegro CL, Corman CL, CLISP, CMUCL, ECL, LispWorks, Clozure CL,
SBCL and the Scieneer CL;
- a groveller;
- a UFFI compatibility layer.
