The arguments to a C function may be integers, floating point numbers, -pointers, and structs. From Scheme they are all represented as foreign +pointers, and structs. Numbers are passed using their normal Scheme +representations, and pointers and structs are represented as foreign objects. Foreign objects can be converted back and forth to/from a -bytevector. They can have an associated finalizer (e.g., a procedure -that will reclaim any associated resources when the object becomes -unreachable); alternatively, they can be finalized using a guardian. +bytevector. They can have an associated foreign finalizer (e.g., a +procedure that will reclaim any associated resources when the object +becomes unreachable); alternatively, they can be finalized using a +guardian. The `(system foreign)' API is currently low-level and possibly inconvenient. It will be extended to provide higher-level constructs. hooks/post-receive -- GNU Guile
