I put a symlink to cl-dispatch in my Quicklisp local-projects directory, launched the CCL IDE (Clozure CL64.app, built from CCL trunk r16809, the latest current), and ran (ql:quickload :dispatch) in the Listener.

That resulted in the following error:

Read error between positions 927 and 1051 in «path»/cl-dispatch/grovel.processed-grovel-file.
> Error: The value :POINTER is not of the expected type (MEMBER :UNSIGNED-CHAR :UNSIGNED-SHORT :UNSIGNED-INT :UNSIGNED-LONG :UNSIGNED-LONG-LONG :CHAR :SHORT :INT :LONG :LONG-LONG).
> While executing: CFFI-GROVEL::CONVERT-INTMAX-CONSTANT, in process Listener(4).

I suspect that grovel.lisp may need to be adjusted for the very different dispatch type declarations present in a more modern operating system than the one for which this was originally written; I’m using the macOS Sierra 10.12 SDK.

It might also be possible to greatly simplify some of the definitions, and redesign grovel.lisp around the shape of the API definition rather than the declarations in the headers.
