ok I tried this translate-from-foreign method and it did work I have these defined in my structs.lisp file in my library which loads first before all my other dependencies
(cffi:defcstruct (cv-size :class cv-size-type)
(width :int)
(height :int))
(defmethod cffi:translate-from-foreign (p (type cv-size-type))
(let ((plist (call-next-method)))
(make-size :width (getf plist 'width)
:height (getf plist 'height))))
and my opencv wrappers for CvGetSize and cvCreateImage, get-size and create-image, are defined like this
;; CvSize cvGetSize(const CvArr* arr)
(cffi:defcfun ("cvGetSize" get-size) (:struct cv-size)
(arr cv-arr))
;; IplImage* cvCreateImage(CvSize size, int depth, int channels)
(cffi:defcfun ("cvCreateImage" %create-image) ipl-image
(size :int64)
(depth :int)
(channels :int))
(defun create-image (size depth channels)
"Create an image with dimensions given by SIZE, DEPTH bits per
channel, and CHANNELS number of channels."
(let ((nsize (size->int64 size)))
(%create-image nsize depth channels)))
here is the definition of size->int64
(DEFUN SIZE->INT64 (S) (+ (SIZE-WIDTH S) (ASH (SIZE-HEIGHT S) 32)))
it converts get-size output which is a structure here:
#S(SIZE :WIDTH 640 :HEIGHT 480)
into 64-bit integer, which CFFI can handle
but I love the idea of the translate-foreign defmethod's
so I was wondering if you can show my how to make the translate-into-foreign version of the below from method this would really make my library awesome
(defmethod cffi:translate-from-foreign (p (type cv-size-type))
(let ((plist (call-next-method)))
(make-size :width (getf plist 'width)
:height (getf plist 'height))))
I was going to try stuff and add it but for the get-size output structure, it isn't a plist so not really sure what to put there for the
(let ((plist (call-next-method)))
part, for the
(make-size :width (getf plist 'width)
:height (getf plist 'height))))
part, I was hoping to find another method other than the size->64 function because that was made 2 years ago when cl-opencv https://github.com/ryepup/cl-opencv first came out and I would like to make an even better wrapper than that... I've already taken cl-opencv added 100 new function 5000 lines of code samples and documentation and a new structs.lisp file so I would love if someone could help me with all the latest cffi tools so I could do something else than int64...plus the if I have a function to wrap where the int64 thing wouldn't work ill be ready
Thanks again to all the answerers on S.O. you all really have helped my library great.
Edit
Ok I think I defined everthing as you Mr Madeira as below (i show the repl session)

;; (cffi:foreign-type-size '(:struct cv-size)) = 8
(cffi:defcstruct (cv-size :class cv-size-type)

(let ((plist (call-next-method)))
(make-size :width (getf plist 'width)
:height (getf plist 'height))))
(defmethod cffi:translate-to-foreign (value (type cv-size-type))
(let ((plist ()))
(setf (getf plist 'width) (size-width value)
(getf plist 'height) (size-height value))
(call-next-method plist type)))
;; CvSize cvGetSize(const CvArr* arr)
(cffi:defcfun ("cvGetSize" get-size) (:struct cv-size)
(arr (:pointer cv-arr)))
;; IplImage* cvCreateImage(CvSize size, int depth, int channels)
(cffi:defcfun ("cvCreateImage" create-image) (:pointer (:struct ipl-image))
(size (:struct cv-size))
(depth :int)

but I get error

because the translate-from-foreign function I have is converting the output from cv-size into a structure
CL-OPENCV> img-size
#S(SIZE :WIDTH 640 :HEIGHT 480)
I appreciate the translate-into foreign function but with the old translate-from-foreign function it isn't woking, because of the make-size part...would you help me figure out what cvCreateImage needs to satisfy it ....here is the link 4 that:
http://docs.opencv.org/modules/core/doc/old_basic_structures.html?highlight=eimage#createimage
I can get this version below to run right(i show the repl session)

so I get data from the slots for ipl-image but this does'nt seem like correct way because id have to be able to derefrence the cv-size poiner output by get-size
here is documentation on cvGetSize the function im wrapping
http://docs.opencv.org/modules/core/doc/old_basic_structures.html?highlight=eimage#getsize
as u can see it is a pointer
CL-OPENCV> img-size
#.(SB-SYS:INT-SAP #X1E000000280)
so when I do :
(cffi:with-foreign-object (img-size '(:pointer (:struct cv-size)))
;; Initialize the slots
;; Return a list with the coordinates
(cffi:with-foreign-slots ((width height) img-size
(list width height)))
I get
There is no applicable method for the generic function
#<STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION CFFI::SLOTS (1)>
when called with arguments
(#<CFFI::FOREIGN-POINTER-TYPE (:POINTER (:STRUCT CV-SIZE))>).
[Condition of type SIMPLE-ERROR]
and when I do
(cffi:with-foreign-object (img-size '(:struct cv-size))
;; Initialize the slots
;; Return a list with the coordinates
(cffi:with-foreign-slots ((width height) img-size (:struct cv-size))
(list width height)))
I get
(346539 0)
just nonsensical output
I try mem-refing and mem-arefing the pointer and get unhandled memory fault errors
if you can help me figure out how to write compatible
translate-from-foreign
and
translate-into-foreign functions I would be very grateful =).
but if I use make-size or size-width,height anywhere in them the create-image would have to have the size->int64 in it because they work only because that function.
