Arrays with static allocation

Dear list,

What is the most efficient way to make a array with static allocation from another array?
I would like to avoid to copy each members of the array one by one.

Array with static allocation are useful when used with foreign calls.


Best Regards,
Camille

Hi Camille,

You can use fli:replace-foreign-array for bulk copying of foreign/static arrays. Also see fli:with-dynamic-lisp-array-pointer.
