13.9.1 Using arbitrary Lisp integers in the FLI

A new mechanism allows you to convert any Lisp integer into a foreign array of bytes and to convert that array back to an equivalent Lisp integer. This would allow the integer to be stored in and retrieved from a database, for example.

See the section "Lisp Integers", the macro fli:with-integer-bytes and the functions fli:convert-integer-to-dynamic-foreign-object and fli:make-integer-from-bytes in the LispWorks Foreign Language Interface User Guide and Reference Manual
