- I would like to here from any people who have found a solution
- either of the following problems:
-
- 1) Interfacing with Sun graphics, either SunCore or preferably,
- at the Pixwind/Pixrect level. The main problem is that the interface
- that sun provides is in terms of C header files defining C "structs".
- So a related solution would be:
-
- 2) A package to allow franz programs to manipulate external structures.
- That is, the ability to follow pointers and write into memory that was
- not allocated by franz. I can use vectori to create blocks with one can
- pass TO a C-program, but when the system returns a pointer to a
- structure, franz just see a fixnum and will not treat it as a pointer.
- Has anyone extented/subverted the datatyping in franz to allow treating
- arbitrary pointers as for example, hunks?
-
- I will probably attempt to solve these problems, so ANY help or
- collaboration will be greatly appreciated.
