Re: C-code : printing into a buffer

["A. Soare" <alinsoar@voila.fr>]

IStreams, as far as I see, create a pipe, such that the lisp functions inside are redirected to a new-created stream. But the lisp functions print messages via a lisp function like (message), and this function know the pipe where to print.

If you call printf from the C-level of the emacs-lisp evaluator, printf does not know nothing about lisp level. So the problem would be beyond the lisp evaluator. The problem is about the linux system... and from the lisp code to redirect the printf output temporary to an emacs buf.

The Istreams concept is also explained in SICP. Nothing unusual.
