I'm currently working on ODBC bindings for Larceny. Unfortunately the ODBC standard requires the caller to manage all memory, which is a little bit problematic. Thus far I have been able to marshall data out of the bytevectors I am using as buffers, but I have now reached the point where I will need to keep a bytevector pinned at the address it has when I first push it through the FFI across many different calls (while fetching data). I fully expect Larceny to invoke the collector somewhere as I build up the in-memory data structures from the DB storage, so I'd like to know how to protect my buffers from getting moved by the collector...assuming that it can be done, that is
Thanks in advance. david -- GPG Public key at http://cyber-rush.org/drr/gpg-public-key.txt _______________________________________________ Larceny-users mailing list Larceny-users@lists.ccs.neu.edu https://lists.ccs.neu.edu/bin/listinfo/larceny-users
