| Summary | 0003997: Allocating a bigarray from C |
| Description | Please add the following comment to the bigarray documentation:
/* [alloc_bigarray] will allocate a new bigarray object in the heap.
If [data] is NULL, the memory for the contents is also allocated
(with [malloc]) by [alloc_bigarray].
[data] cannot point into the Caml heap.
[dim] may point into an object in the Caml heap.
*/ |
| Additional Information | This is a simple and GC-friendly way to allocate memory for a bigarray structure directly within C instead of calling Bigarray.genarray.create in Caml. |
