Hi, what would be the best way to convert only a part of a byte vector (interpreted as UTF-8) to string?
Let's say that I have a big buffer, (define buffer (make-u8vector 1024)) which contains some message (define n (recv! sock buffer)) I'd like to get only the first n bytes of buffer. I initially thought that this would do: (utf8->string (make-shared-array buffer list `(0 ,(- n 1)))) (the utf8->string comes from ((rnrs) #:version (6)) module) However, it failed (having expected byte-vector). Another option would be to use (substring (utf8->string buffer 0 n)) This one works, but according to the manual, the string is "newly allocated", so it's unnecessary overhead. What would be the best solution? TIA M
