* libguile/foreign.h (SCM_FOREIGN_TYPE_COMPLEX_FLOAT,
SCM_FOREIGN_TYPE_COMPLEX_DOUBLE): New enums.
* module/system/foreign.scm (complex-float, complex-double): Export new types.
(make-c-struct, parse-c-struct): Support the new types.
* libguile/foreign.c (complex-float, complex-double): Define new types.
(alignof, sizeof, pack, unpack): Support the new types.
* test-suite/tests/foreign.test: Test.
When using automake and libtool to build DLLs on Cygwin, libtool
will rename libXXX to cygXXX. 'load-foreign-library' should
emulate libltdl behavior and search for DLLs using that convention.
* module/system/foreign-library.scm (lib->cyg): new helper function
(load-foreign-library): add rename-on-cygwin? option to rename
libraries using Cygwin semantics
* test-suite/tests/foreign.test: new test section 'lib->cyg'
* doc/ref/api-foreign.text: document new rename-on-cygwin? option
for load-foreign-library
* NEWS: Update.
* am/bootstrap.am (SOURCES):
* module/Makefile.am (SOURCES): Add system/foreign-library.scm.
* configure.ac: Replace ltdl check with -ldl check.
* libguile/dynl.c: Rewrite to just expose core dlopen / dlsym / etc to a
helper Scheme module.
(scm_dynamic_link, scm_dynamic_pointer, scm_dynamic_function)
(scm_dynamic_object_p, scm_dynamic_call): Rewrite in terms of (system
foreign-library).
* libguile/extensions.c (load_extension): Avoid scm_dynamic_call.
* module/system/foreign-library.scm: New file.
* module/oop/goops.scm (<dynamic-object>): Hackily export
<foreign-library> instead of a class here.
* doc/ref/api-foreign.texi (Foreign Function Interface): Rewrite to only
document the new interfaces. Eventually we will deprecate
dynamic-link and friends.
* doc/ref/guile.texi (API Reference): Move Foreign Objects after Foreign
Function Interface. Seems there should be some closer relationship
but this will do for now.
* doc/ref/tour.texi (Putting Extensions into Modules):
* doc/ref/libguile-parallel.texi (Parallel Installations): Update for
rename of Modules and Extensions to Foreign Extensions.
* libguile/deprecated.h:
* libguile/deprecated.c (scm_dynamic_unlink): Deprecate.
* libguile/guile.c: Remove ltdl include.
* test-suite/tests/foreign.test: Update tests to use new API, and update
error expectations.
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/21076>.
* libguile/dynl.c (sysdep_dyn_link): Try plain lt_dlopen first, to
interpret fname as a literal path.
* doc/ref/api-foreign.texi: Update explanation to describe the new
behavior.

Implements wishlist item <https://debbugs.gnu.org/18592>.
Requested by Frank Terbeck <ft@bewatermyfriend.org>.
Based on a proposed patch by Nala Ginrut <nalaginrut@gmail.com>.
Patch ported to 2.2 by Andy Wingo <wingo@pobox.com>.
* libguile/foreign.c (cif_to_procedure): Add 'with_errno' argument.
If true, truncate result to only one return value.
(scm_i_foreign_call): Separate the arguments. Always return errno.
(pointer_to_procedure): New static function.
(scm_pointer_to_procedure_with_errno): New C API function, implemented
in terms of 'pointer_to_procedure'.
(scm_pointer_to_procedure): Reimplement in terms of
'pointer_to_procedure', no longer bound to "pointer->procedure". See
below.
(scm_i_pointer_to_procedure): New C function bound to
"pointer->procedure" which now accepts the optional #:return-errno?
keyword argument, implemented in terms of 'pointer_to_procedure'.
(k_return_errno): New keyword #:return-errno?.
* libguile/foreign.h (scm_pointer_to_procedure_with_errno): Add prototype.
* doc/ref/api-foreign.texi (Dynamic FFI): Adjust documentation.
* libguile/vm-engine.c (foreign-call): Return two values.
* libguile/uniform.h:
* libguile/uniform.c (scm_is_uniform_vector, scm_uniform_vector_p)
(scm_c_uniform_vector_length, scm_uniform_vector_length)

(scm_c_uniform_vector_ref, scm_uniform_vector_ref):
(scm_c_uniform_vector_set_x, scm_uniform_vector_set_x):
(scm_uniform_vector_to_list)
(scm_uniform_vector_elements, scm_uniform_vector_writable_elements):
Deprecate. This interface lacked both generality and specificity.
The general replacement is array-length, array-ref, and friends on the
scheme side, or the array handle interface on the C side. On the
specific side of things, there are the specific bytevector, srfi-4,
and bitvector interfaces.
