[racket] newbie: foreign C structure definition question

Currently the FFI does not support this.

I've simulated it in the past by making another struct with 32 char objects.

I wrote a macro to automate it. Look at

define-opencl-vector-alias

from

https://github.com/jeapostrophe/opencl/blob/master/c/tsyntax.rkt

A use case:

(define-opencl-vector-alias _cl_char 16)

defines

_cl_char16

as a struct with 16 _cl_chars
