#541 closed defect (fixed)
define-external does not grok "const" qualifier

Description
I believe the following program should show "bar" when run, but it shows #<pointer 0x401f01>
(define-external (print_foo ((const c-string) foo)) void (print foo)) ((foreign-safe-lambda* void () "print_foo(\"bar\");"))
If I remove the const qualifier, it works.

Here's a patch. It would be nice if this could make it into the new release.

The fix for this bug doesn't work in the general case. I think it's missing a strip-syntax:
(define-syntax generate-external (syntax-rules () ((_) (define-external (print_foo ((const c-string) foo)) void (print foo))))) (generate-external) ((foreign-safe-lambda* void () "print_foo(\"bar\");"))
