Hello,
I really strongly advise _against_ using SRFI-4 vectors for 4G files, as I have experienced serious performance issues even with vectors of a few million elements. If your C code is to be linked with your Chicken code, you can pass the pointer to your data from C to Scheme and use SRFI-4 foreign pointers to access it (see unit lolevel for details). If the C code is running as a separate process, you could try using posix-shm to create shared memory between processes and then use foreign pointers in the Chicken process.

Hi all,Sorry if this question is obvious, but I couldn't find what I were looking for in the documentation so maybe you guys can help me.I am developing a prototype of a server that would serve 3D seismic images across the network. This task requires to process big files (~4 GB) with existing C code that is desirable to maintain. I plan to write the server itself in Chicken scheme but I would need to maintain the existing code in C that opens and process those files.Giving the size of the file, I want to share the memory space between C and Chicken and avoid copying values between areas. Is that even possible? Anyone has an idea on how can I address this?Thanks in advance!Pedro--
