Hi,
I would appreciate any help with the following problem.
I want to return a reference to a new SVpv, but the SVpv should
neither allocate any string space nor try to delete some on destruction.
I have an address in a memory mapped region and I want to stuff that
into the PVX slot and set the length myself, or to say it another way,
I want something similar to newSVpvn but WITHOUT copying the string,
just setting the PVX pointer and the LEN fields. Furthermore that SV
should become readonly and Perl should never try to free that 'foreign'
storage.
Is this possible with the current API or do I have to hack the perl
structures?
Thanks for any hints,
