[Chicken-users] FFI and allocation/garbage collection

[Alex]

Hello,

I was wondering how the FFI wraps C functions which return strings. When
the C strings are converted into Scheme strings, is the data copied (so
that the Scheme string is an ordinary GC-able Scheme object), or does
the Scheme string share the C string's data, so that automatic GC is not
possible?

Thanks,
Alex
