allocating foreign objects on the stack
With Allegro Common Lisp I do: (defun random-uint () (ff:with-stack-fobject (buf :int :allocation :lisp) (random-bytes buf (ff:sizeof-fobject :int)) (ff:fslot-value-typed :unsigned-int :lisp buf) )) Is there with-stack-fobject in Lispworks? The best approach I can think of is to use fli:with-dynamic-lisp-array-pointer [2] and point it to a dynamic extent Lisp array. Is this the best way?
