Hi Laurent,


It took the error message I got when I worked on the uncompress
function to realize that, indeed, InBuf should be a byte list, and
not a string... (this is binary data, and there are null bytes, and
a (pack (mapcar 'char TheList)) removes said bytes...)
Looking at the Memory Management section at
http://software-lab.de/doc/native.html, I am considering using
malloc (I will have many calls) but for what I have in mind, I would
need to be able to set and get the value of a malloc-ed variable
outside of a native call.
Is it possible?


Yes. This should be possible with 'struct'.



Thanks! It works perfectly!

Regards,

Hi List, 

I just published (mainly as an editor) two free PicoLisp books in pdf
format:

,---
| PicoLisp Works
| http://www.scribd.com/doc/103732688/PicoLisp-Works
| https://github.com/tj64/picolisp-works
`---

,
| PicoLisp by Example
| http://www.scribd.com/doc/103733857/PicoLisp-by-Example
| https://github.com/tj64/picolisp-by-example
`

Have fun!

PS
I consider these free books community project now, so you are very
welcome to help fixing the inevitable bugs and errors (its impossible to
review 2000 pages). Just report anything wrong you notice here in the
mailing list, or even better, clone the gitrepos, make a private branch,
fix any mistakes you encounter, and send me a patch or pull request.

cheers,
Thorsten
