Hello! I was curious if Guile would be willing to provide a series of new procedures for resizing contiguous memory regions.
(bytevector-resize! <bytevector> new-size [fill]) (vector-resize! <vector> new-size [fill]) The [fill] parameter could be used if the new-size is bigger than the current size. This would make writing imperative code easier and more performant. I acknowledge that it is not idiomatic Scheme to use mutable data structures, however this is useful to me for dealing with large amounts of text data, in which I need random access and flexible data storage. It would allow me to move off my custom C extension vector and allow me to use other vector-* functions. Ideally, this would use libc's `realloc` to make the resize quick, so that it can avoid data copying whenever possible. Regards Vijay Marupudi PhD Student in Human Centered-Computing Georgia Tech
