Syntax

— Function: pointerp ptr => boolean

Arguments and Values

ptr
An object that may be a foreign pointer.

Implementation-specific Notes

In Allegro CL, foreign pointers are integers thus in this implementation pointerp will return true for any ordinary integer.

Examples

  CFFI> (foreign-alloc 32)
  => #<A Mac Pointer #x102D20>
  CFFI> (pointerp *)
  => T
  CFFI> (pointerp "this is not a pointer")
