2 # Shareable Byte Vectors
4 Function: make-shareable-byte-vector size
6 Create a vector of element type (UNSIGNED-BYTE 8) suitable for passing
7 to WITH-POINTER-TO-VECTOR-DATA.
9 ;; Minimal implementation:
10 (defun make-shareable-byte-vector (size)
11 (make-array size :element-type '(unsigned-byte 8)))
14 Macro: with-pointer-to-vector-data (ptr-var vector) &body body
16 Bind PTR-VAR to a pointer to the data contained in a shareable byte
19 VECTOR must be a shareable vector created by MAKE-SHAREABLE-BYTE-VECTOR.
21 PTR-VAR may point directly into the Lisp vector data, or it may point
22 to a temporary block of foreign memory which will be copied to and
25 Both the pointer object in PTR-VAR and the memory it points to have
26 dynamic extent. The results are undefined if foreign code attempts to
27 access this memory outside this dynamic contour.
29 The implementation must guarantee the memory pointed to by PTR-VAR
30 will not be moved during the dynamic contour of this operator, either
31 by creating the vector in a static area or temporarily disabling the
34 ;; Minimal (copying) implementation:
35 (defmacro with-pointer-to-vector-data ((ptr-var vector) &body body)
36 (let ((vector-var (gensym))
38 `(let* ((,vector-var ,vector)
39 (,size-var (length ,vector-var)))
40 (with-foreign-ptr (,ptr-var ,size-var)
41 (mem-write-vector ,vector-var ,ptr :uint8)
44 (mem-read-vector ,vector-var ,ptr-var :uint8 ,size-var))))))
