/* this file is #include'd (x times) by convert.c */

/* You need to define the following macros before including this
   template.  They are undefined at the end of this file to give a
   clean slate for the next inclusion.

   - CTYPE

   The type of an element of the C array, for example 'char'.

   - FROM_CTYPE

   The function that converts a CTYPE to a SCM, for example
   scm_from_char.

   - UVEC_TAG

   The tag of a suitable uniform vector that can hold the CTYPE, for
   example 's8'.

   - UVEC_CTYPE

   The C type of an element of the uniform vector, for example
   scm_t_int8.

   - SCM2CTYPES

   The name of the 'SCM-to-C' function, for example scm_c_scm2chars.

   - CTYPES2SCM

   The name of the 'C-to-SCM' function, for example, scm_c_chars2scm.

   - CTYPES2UVECT

   The name of the 'C-to-uniform-vector' function, for example
   scm_c_chars2byvect.  It will create a uniform vector of kind
   UVEC_TAG.

   - CTYPES2UVECT_2

   The name of a second 'C-to-uniform-vector' function.  Leave
   undefined if you want only one such function.

   - CTYPE_2
   - UVEC_TAG_2
   - UVEC_CTYPE_2

   The tag and C type of the second kind of uniform vector, for use
   with the function described above.
