Thanks for the fix! I didn't actually replace (print) with (display). My
hack was:
(begin
;; the (print) isn't -- don't know what the issue is, but it
;; sure doesn't work the way we want -- but then using (display)
;; does work.
(display version port) (display " 200 OK" port) (display eol port)
(display "Content-Length: " port)
(display (u8vector-length message) port) (display eol port)
(display "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" port)
(display eol port)
(display "Connection: close" port) (display eol port)
(display eol port)
)
I'll implement your fix, instead of my hack (it sure is cleaner). Thanks
again!
Offtopic - you had mentioned future support of native threading. I have
been using the Unix fork() primitive to use multi-core. This forces IPC
using messages (or sockets). As part of this, I started playing around
with Unix shm (shared memory). The problem is that I really couldn't
get more performance, because data needs to be copied to the shared
memory. It struck me that to get the performance I was after the
copy would have to be removed. In other words, (shared) Scheme objects
would have to reside *in* the shared memory region.
Just wondering what direction you are contemplating with Gambit-C
(or am I completely off-base)?
