FFIGEN Release 1 is now available from http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/~lth/ffigen.

FFIGEN (Foreign Function Interface GENerator) is a program suite which
facilitates the writing of translators from C header files to foreign
function interfaces for particular language implementations.  It is
based on the lcc C compiler and handles nearly all of ANSI C, including
the preprocessor.  (Missing features are bitfields and general type
qualifiers; support for those will be included in a future version).

This release includes the entire front-end, a back-end for Chez Scheme
version 5, and documents which explain the ideas behind FFIGEN, its use,
and how to write of custom back-ends for you language.

This is a preliminary release; it works but is neither full-function nor
polished.  In particular, installation is crude.

See the Web page for further details, download information, and so on.
