I see most of the people tend to create arrays in C by malloc/___alloc_rc and then assigning values by iterating over them via a setter function (also defined with c-lambda).

Isn't there a way to directly do this with a memcpy operation? Wouldn't that be faster?

I understand that Gambit's heap and C's heap are separate, and you need to copy from one another in order to avoid GC touching any of FFI-created memory. But is it possible to improve this process using some sort of C function/macro from Gambit?

I really can't find any code examples or reference for this.

Thank you very much.
