It is clearly extremely possible for an implementation to read and write vectors of immediate data (which could be slightly different than vectors with upgraded element types which are not T but likely is not) with very high performance without copying data in many cases (copying the bytes of a multi-byte object is unavoidable in general if you care about network byte order). And to do that without type punning. That's what you asked for. _______________________________________________ Lisp Hug - the mailing list for LispWorks users [email protected] http://www.lispworks.com/support/lisp-hug.html
