I was wrong in saying that there are no "unnecessary" memory copies in
Perl. It seems that the raster data is copied to a buffer, from which it
is copied to another buffer maintained by Perl. I then have an extra
layer of Perl code to copy from that buffer to Perl scalar arrays for
ease of use. An optimization to do away one of the copies would be
useful. That would mean copying from the initial buffer directly into
Perl arrays within a typemap - I haven't done that because of the
complication of several datatypes. To change that would mean - not to
break existing code - defining a new set of read/write methods.
Would that be compatible with what is wished for in the Python bindings?

Andrey,
r19248 introduce Python specific code in general .i files. The consequence is
that it breaks the Perl bindings (see
http://buildbot.osgeo.org:8500/builders/telascience-quick/builds/312/steps/perl-make/logs/stdio).
It also breaks Python3 compatibility as PyString_FromStringAndSize and
PyString_AsString aren't available (though this could be fixed easily by
using PyBytes_FromStringAndSize and PyBytes_AsString with a #if
PY_VERSION_HEX >= 0x03000000)
I think the new implementation should be done only inside a #if
defined(SWIGPYTHON) I guess, and the old implementation preserved for other
binding languages.
Best regards
