Subject: Re: FFI c-struct convenience classes? OO, not with- From: Erik Naggum <erik@naggum.no> Date: 1999/05/29 Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp Message-ID: <3136989068751968@naggum.no> * "Marc Battyani" <Marc_Battyani@csi.com> | I like this idea. Do you mean you have a list of available structs and | you pop one on entry and push it back on exit? In that case you have | to protect the access to the stack, or am I missing a point here? there are many ways of doing this. one is using resources, another is blocking interrupts and scheduling around accesses to the list, and yet another is using process locks on the list. this is not a big issue. | May be we should vote for a comp.lang.lisp.announce news group. good idea, but it's a little hard in realizing right away. I think we should see if people are annoyed here first. there's a lot of stuff out there that I think is highly relevant to the Lisp community that is held back because of aggressive anti-commercial attitudes that make it very hard to write technical stuff that _isn't_ marketing, because it is not viewed as having any commercial value, only costs, and thus are restricted to existing or realistically prospective customers. sigh. #:Erik -- @1999-07-22T00:37:33Z -- pi billion seconds since the turn of the century
