Howdy, This all goes on the assumption that Scheme and Chicken are OK even with a string with embedded nulls (e.g., "foo\0bar"). That's true, right?
Now then, I have a function that looks vaguely like: unsigned int foo(char *to, char *from, unsigned int fromlen); which reads ``from'' and fills some result based on that into a pre-allocated (via malloc() or, in Chicken, (allocate ...)) ``to''. Both strings may have embedded nulls: ``fromlen'' therefore tells the function how long ``from'' is (since strlen() won't work), and the return value is used similarly by the caller. So what I'm trying to do in Chicken is create a function (foo from) that calls the C function and returns the appropriate string, already filled out as a Scheme string (and the memory allocated for ``to'' already freed). I'm stumped. How do I get the string to turn into a Scheme string without truncating it at the first embedded null? -- TB _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
