Tijs van Bakel replies: cparse is indeed a great tool. Is the goal of cparse to cooperate with a seperate ffi code generator, or is that supposed to be part of cparse? (feel free to remove question if answered on cparse page)
Tim Moore responds: The cparse "code generator" (declaration generator is more accurate) is seperate from the C parsing machinery. The goal is to distribute generators for many implementations with the cparse distribution. The reality is somewhat short of that right now; there's only a generator for CMUCL. I may write one for ACL in the near future.
Surendra Singhi comments: Look at SWIG (tool for generating automatic ffi wrappers), it currently supports AllegroCL and CLISP, and it should not be hard to extend it to other lisp implementations. Some documentation on using it can be found here.
ah2cl is a (very (very)) simple and naive C header parser (according to its web page).
Add CFFI to this list, a different design than UFFI, also working across several Lisp implementations -- Jörg Höhle
A nice summary of (not only Lisp) FFIs can be found on Reini Urban's page.
