AFAICT you have to write a C constructor:
unsigned char *
make_one_thing (int dim)
{
unsigned char * p = malloc(dim);
put_something_in(p);
return p;
}
and SWIG will generate the Scheme/C wrapper, something
like:
static SCM
_wrap_make_one_thing (SCM s_0)
{
unsigned char * result = 0 ;
int arg0;
SCM gswig_result;
arg0 = scm_to_int(s_0);
result = (unsigned char *)new_matrix(arg0);
gswig_result = SWIG_NewPointerObj (result,
SWIGTYPE_p_unsigned_char, 0);
return gswig_result;
}
so you do not have to write the SMOB driver.
