Thanks for the useful benchmarking info vs Perl's vec(), and my apologies for lack of clarity in the OP. In answer to your queries: >>If the real code is so complex, why are you asking us to make judgements based on such a trivial example that can never meet its stated goal of greater efficiency?<< I was trying to present a 'minimal case' to illustrate the particular aspects I'm unsure about. >>The way you've asked the question suggests that you are unsure about the parameter handling rather than the actual internal logic. Where exactly do your doubts lie?<< What I'm unsure about is two things: (a) Correct method for directly accessing the bytes of a Perl variable from Inline C? My example works but I'm not entirely sure it's the "right way". Is casting the return of SvPV to an unsigned char* a sensible thing to be doing? (b) Whether directly changing the bytes of a Perl variable in C runs the risk of 'breaking' Perl internals in some scenarios?
