[Xen-devel] [PATCH 0/1] Reduce copies between ocaml Strings and Bytes

[Marcello Seri <marcello.seri@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The port of the ocaml libraries to the new safe-string interface
introduced some unnecessary copies between ocaml strings and bytes. The
bytes module provides unsafe conversion functions that avoid the copies
and are safe to use when the bytes are used immutably (as in Unix.write
calls) or when the ownership of the bytes is clear. For reference see
https://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/libref/Bytes.html#3_Unsafeconversionsforadvancedusers

This patch replaces the conversion functions with unsafe conversions
when possible.
