Thank you for the workaround!
What is the best way to generate a foreign c-type object ?
This seems to me the best approach (sorry if it's obvious to everybody but me):
(define make-My (c-lambda () My "___result_voidstar = ___EXT(___alloc_rc)(sizeof(struct My));")) (define My->* (c-lambda (My) My*/nonnull "___result_voidstar = &___arg1;"))
has the advantage of not wasting time / space creating a new foreign object and a copy, like *->My below does. It also doesn't trigger the c-lambda bug, not that I have verified carefully yet. Members can easily be set up with a syntax like (My-x-set! (My->* xoxo) #xdeadbeef) . Is this approach correct?
Thanks Again
Paolo

There appears to be a bug in the FFI when using a c-lambda with inline code that returns a foreign object. So for now you will have to define a C function that does the work and use the name of that function in the c-lambda. In other words:
(c-declare #<<c-declare-end
My indirect_My_star(My *ptr) { return *ptr; }
c-declare-end )
(define *->My (c-lambda (My*/nonnull) My "indirect_My_star"))

Hello,
I'm experiencing regular segfaults on OSX 10.9.5, with the sample code shown below. Tested with Gambit 4.8.1 + GCC 4.9 and with packaged Gambit 4.7.3 + LLVM. No issue at all on Linux, GCC 4.8, with both Gambit 4.2.8 and Gambit 4.8.2. Of course I may be doing something silly.
A simple struct, "My" is generated inside a c procedure, then passed multiple times to another c-lambda procedure (*->My). It's a simplified model of the code produced by a FFI SDL2 Library I'm using. The doc says that the foreign object (xoxo in the example) should not be released while the scheme code is still referencing it. I am seeing the refcount going wildly in the negative, one for each call to *->My The only way -- clumsy -- I have found to avoid this is to increment the reference count with ___addref_rc ( not shown here ).
What's wrong here? Thanks!
