Hi Antoine,

That one point, vec2var has been defined to pass some datatypes from Scilab "ast" (C++ side, data pointers, refcounted) to Scilab "scicos" (C, raw memory allocated once and passed around). Some data structures might not be handled correctly, I was even surprised that mlists worked correctly.

Scilab Struct (or Cell) are missing as they are more complex datatypes to serialize. Handle are even harder (as you need to list the properties somewhere). Feel free to take a look at the code [1],

Why is the code for structs (lines 242--74)  commented out ? Is it broken or else ?
If var2vec() / vec2var() could be extended to provide a universal way to serialize / deserialize really any scilab variable, that would be really nice.
Could we make a SEP or fill a bug as a wish ?

Antoine

Cheers,

Hello,

My 2cents, this is probably a poor man’s approach but Xcos offers vec2var / var2vec functions that encode in a double vector any Scilab datatypes passed as arguments. The encoding duplicates the data in memory so there might be some overhead.
Er, I tried var2vec, but it does not work with structures:
--> typeof(t)
   ans  =
   st

--> var2vec(t)
var2vec: Wrong type for input argument #1: Double, Integer, Boolean, String or List type.

Arghh... so var2vec does not work for any datatype right?

Antoine
On my machine, I have these timings using the attached script (Antoine’s one edited):
save list of syslins: 1.361704
save list of vec[]: 0.056788
save var2vec(list of syslins): 0.014411

Discarding hdf5 groups creation is a huge performance win but remove any way to create clean hdf5 (eg. to address subgroups directly).

Thanks,

Couldn't you create your own atom package that restore this raw memory dump for scilab 6.0? I understand why we moved away from this model, but it seems to be key for you. There is always a trade-off between portability (and robustness) and raw speed...

Yeah, if that was possible, I would certainly do it. We already have a bunch of C/C++ binaries that we compile and link dynamically, but for that to be easy to implement, I guess the lists and structures need to be stored linearly in one consecutive chunk of memory. I don’t know if that is the case. Anyone? C++ integrations and gateways are very poorly documented at the moment. Otherwise, I would need to do some recursive implementation, that handles a bunch of different object types. Sounds painful.

Cheers,
Arvid
