[Larceny-users] typedefs and the ffi

[Eduardo Cavazos]

Hello,

Is this:

(ffi-add-alias-of-attribute-entry! 'xyz 'ulong)

the proper way to model this:

typedef unsigned long xyz ;

Just wanted to verify since the manual isn't clear on this.

Yes, I added that function precisely because I wanted to directly
model typedef's in code that used the FFI.

(I had to look at the relevant changeset and log entry to verify this:
https://trac.ccs.neu.edu/trac/larceny/changeset/5598 )

I don't think the FFI section of the manual is going to get revised by
the time 0.97 is released, but perhaps it will by 0.98 or 0.99. Sorry
about that.
