Homogeneous numeric vectors, see the documentation for SRFI-4 64-bit integer vectors (u64vector and s64vector are not supported.
The basic constructor procedures for number vectors are extended to allow allocating the storage in non garbage collected memory:
[procedure] (make-XXXvector SIZE [INIT NONGC FINALIZE])
Creates a SRFI-4 homogenous number vector of length SIZE. If INIT is given, it specifies the initial value for each slot in the vector. The optional arguments NONGC and FINALIZE define whether the vector should be allocated in a memory area not subject to garbage collection and whether the associated storage should be automatically freed (using finalization) when there are no references from Scheme variables and data. NONGC defaults to #f (the vector will be located in normal garbage collected memory) and FINALIZE defaults to #t. Note that the FINALIZE argument is only used when NONGC is true.
Additionally, the following procedures are provided:
[procedure] (u8vector->blob U8VECTOR) [procedure] (s8vector->blob S8VECTOR) [procedure] (u16vector->blob U16VECTOR) [procedure] (s16vector->blob S16VECTOR) [procedure] (u32vector->blob U32VECTOR) [procedure] (s32vector->blob S32VECTOR) [procedure] (f32vector->blob F32VECTOR) [procedure] (f64vector->blob F64VECTOR) [procedure] (u8vector->blob/shared U8VECTOR) [procedure] (s8vector->blob/shared S8VECTOR) [procedure] (u16vector->blob/shared U16VECTOR) [procedure] (s16vector->blob/shared S16VECTOR) [procedure] (u32vector->blob/shared U32VECTOR) [procedure] (s32vector->blob/shared S32VECTOR) [procedure] (f32vector->blob/shared F32VECTOR) [procedure] (f64vector->blob/shared F64VECTOR)
Each of these procedures return the contents of the given vector as a 'packed' blob. The byte order in that vector is platform-dependent (for example little-endian on an Intel processor). The /shared variants return a blob that shares memory with the contents of the vector.
[procedure] (blob->u8vector BLOB) [procedure] (blob->s8vector BLOB) [procedure] (blob->u16vector BLOB) [procedure] (blob->s16vector BLOB) [procedure] (blob->u32vector BLOB) [procedure] (blob->s32vector BLOB) [procedure] (blob->f32vector BLOB) [procedure] (blob->f64vector BLOB) [procedure] (blob->u8vector/shared BLOB) [procedure] (blob->s8vector/shared BLOB) [procedure] (blob->u16vector/shared BLOB) [procedure] (blob->s16vector/shared BLOB) [procedure] (blob->u32vector/shared BLOB) [procedure] (blob->s32vector/shared BLOB) [procedure] (blob->f32vector/shared BLOB) [procedure] (blob->f64vector/shared BLOB)
Each of these procedures return a vector where the argument BLOB is taken as a 'packed' representation of the contents of the vector. The /shared variants return a vector that shares memory with the contents of the blob.
[procedure] (subu8vector U8VECTOR FROM TO) [procedure] (subu16vector U16VECTOR FROM TO) [procedure] (subu32vector U32VECTOR FROM TO) [procedure] (subs8vector S8VECTOR FROM TO) [procedure] (subs16vector S16VECTOR FROM TO) [procedure] (subs32vector S32VECTOR FROM TO) [procedure] (subf32vector F32VECTOR FROM TO) [procedure] (subf64vector F64VECTOR FROM TO)
Creates a number vector of the same type as the argument vector with the elements at the positions FROM up to but not including TO.
SRFI-17 Setters for XXXvector-ref are defined.
[procedure] (read-u8vector LENGTH [PORT])
Reads LENGTH bytes from the PORT and returns a fresh u8vector or less if end-of-file is encountered. PORT defaults to the value of (current-input-port). If LENGTH is #f, the vector will be filled completely until end-of-file is reached.
[procedure] (read-u8vector! LENGTH U8VECTOR [PORT [START]])
Reads LENGTH bytes from the PORT writing the read input into U8VECTOR beginning at START (or 0 if not given). PORT defaults to the value of (current-input-port). If LENGTH is #f, the vector will be filled completely until end-of-file is reached. This procedure returns the number of bytes read.
[procedure] (write-u8vector U8VECTOR [PORT [START [END]]])
Writes the bytes U8VECTOR between the indices START (inclusive) and END (exclusive) to PORT. PORT defaults to the value of (current-output-port).
