The function foreign-symbol-pointer
will return a foreign
pointer corresponding to the foreign symbol denoted by the string
foreign-name. If a foreign symbol named foreign-name
doesn't exist, nil
is returned.
ABI name manglings will be performed on foreign-name by
foreign-symbol-pointer
if necessary. (eg: adding a leading
underscore on darwin/ppc)
library should name a foreign library as defined by
define-foreign-library
, :default
(which is the default)
or an instance of foreign-library
as returned by
load-foreign-library
.
Important note: do not keep these pointers across saved Lisp cores as the foreign-library may move across sessions.
