Dear colleagues, In GHC/FFI, is there some way (is it possible ?) to access DIRECTLY an array of UArray type (immutable) in a sequential contiguous memory buffer (in C side, for example) without to need to copy the array elements one by one ? GHC hackers and implementors are wellcome... :-) My interest is to transmit the array over a network using MPI, but avoiding marshalling overheads. It is easy to do this with StorableArray's in the IO monad, of course, but I need to use UArray.

AFAIK, no. That's the whole point of StorableArrays. Why can't you use these instead of UArrays? - Hal On Mon, 27 Oct 2003, heron_carvalho wrote:
