是否可以从 OCaml 调用 C 函数并有效地传递一个巨大的数组?

我正在考虑在新应用程序中结合使用 OCaml 和 C 代码。 从 Ocaml 调用 C 代码似乎很简单:

    external name : type = C-function-name

然而,反过来(从 C 调用 OCaml)似乎也更复杂:(

  static void
  call_ocaml_void (const char * name)
  {   CAMLparam0 () ;
      CAMLlocal1 (ostr) ;

      ostr = caml_copy_string (name);

      value * func = caml_named_value ("ocaml_puts") ;

      if (func == NULL)
          puts ("caml_named_value failed!") ;
      else
          caml_callback (*func, ostr) ;

      CAMLreturn0 ;
  } /* call_ocaml_void */

示例来自此 页面

尤其是,它涉及复制。

谁能告诉我是否可以允许从两种语言访问数据结构? 因此,函数只能传递指向结构的指针,但两种语言都可以读取它。

目标是使用 OCaml 完成所有操作,然后以有效的方式将数据传递到 C 环境。

谢谢!

I'm considering the use of a combination between OCaml and C code in a new application. It seems that calling C code from Ocaml is simple:

    external name : type = C-function-name

However, it seems also that in the other way around (calling OCaml from C) is more complicated:

  static void
  call_ocaml_void (const char * name)
  {   CAMLparam0 () ;
      CAMLlocal1 (ostr) ;

      ostr = caml_copy_string (name);

      value * func = caml_named_value ("ocaml_puts") ;

      if (func == NULL)
          puts ("caml_named_value failed!") ;
      else
          caml_callback (*func, ostr) ;

      CAMLreturn0 ;
  } /* call_ocaml_void */

(Example from this page)

And especially, it involves copying.

Could anyone tell me if it is possible to allow access to a data structure from both languages? So the functions could pass only pointers to the structure, but both languages can read it anyway.

The objective is to do all the operations with OCaml, and then pass the data to the C environment in an efficient way.

Thanks!

首先,您可以将任何 C malloced 值作为抽象类型传递给 ocaml。 它们有几个问题:

  • 如果不使用 C 中定义的外部函数,就无法操作 ocaml 中的抽象值。
  • 垃圾收集器不会释放它们,并且您可能会出现内存泄漏(或者使用某些外部函数显式释放它,但是你失去了 ocaml 的部分用处)

你还可以使用包含指向任何内容的指针的自定义块。 这也是一个基础值(如前一种情况),但您可以添加一些在自定义块被 GC 时调用的代码,这将负责释放 C 对象。

然后,对于整数/字符/浮点数组,您可以使用 biggaray 库“可以使用 alloc_bigarray 包装指向已分配的 C 或 Fortran 数组的指针 p 并将其作为大数组返回到 Caml
或 alloc_bigarray_dims 函数。 " 请参阅手册

Firstly you can pass any C malloced value to ocaml as an abstract type. Their are severall problem with this :

  • You cannot manipulate an abstract value from ocaml without using external function defined in C
  • The garbage collector won't free them, and you might have memory leak (or to use some external function to explictly free it, but you lose part of the usefullness of ocaml)

You can also use custom block containing a pointer to anything. This is also an bastract value (as in the previous case) but you can add some code to be called when the custom block is GCed and that will take care of freeing the C object.

Then for array of integer/char/float you have the biggaray library "A pointer p to an already-allocated C or Fortran array can be wrapped and returned to Caml as a big array using the alloc_bigarray
or alloc_bigarray_dims functions. " see the manual
