Hi -
I'm pretty new to Scheme in general and Chicken in particular. Both are
awesome.
I'm wondering, though, is it possible to catch the errors generated by
functions like read or load when they encounter bad syntax? I'd like to
be able to use read to parse things or load to load files from

Toby,
Here are two examples. In one I create the string on the heap and
return it as a scheme-object from the C code. In the other I write
directly into a scheme string, using a locative as the pointer.
Neither probably works with UTF-8. You didn't specify how the to-len
was computed, so I ass
Thought I got rid of all those invisible embedded control chars.
Let's try again.

Well, I don't know of any papers or books, but
Thanks, I've applied your change. It really makes
much more sense to use "C_externexport".
