2.1.1 Integral types

Integral types are the FLI types that represent integers. They consist of the following: :int, :byte, :long, :short, :signed, :unsigned and :enum.

Integral types can be combined in a list for readability and compatibility purposes with the foreign language, although when translated to Lisp such combinations are usually returned as a Lisp integer , or a fixnum for byte sized combinations. For example, a C unsigned long can be represented in the FLI as an (:unsigned :long) .
