7.10 The C structure

c_structure

Type abbreviation

Specification:
type c_structure

Description:

Objects of type c_structure are containers of foreign code. Each c_structure object is created as a result of dynamically linking foreign code from a file.

No attempt is made at present to cache this code when images are saved, and so it would have to be restored when an image is restarted. Fortunately, this is made trivial by using the tools provided via the Aliens structure. See "The Aliens structure" on page 217.
