I want to make a new Port. I would like to write the port implementation
in C and use that port in scheme.
I'm a bit confused on how to proceed though. From reading the docs, it
seems I have to create a C function, in the form of an extension, that
calls scm_make_port_type.
However, the manual states [1] that the return value from
scm_make_port_type is a scm_ptob_descriptor. I'm confused on how I
instantiate this new port type to get a scm_port.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Josh

‘scm_make_port_type’ returns a number of the ‘scm_t_bits’ type. That
number identifies the port type internally.
Then, to instantiate a port of that type, use
‘scm_new_port_table_entry’:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scm_t_bits port_type;
port_type = scm_make_port_type (...);
[...]
SCM port;
port = scm_new_port_table_entry (port_type);
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Here’s a couple of examples:

Hope this helps!
