Hi,
given a type like
type t = {
i : int;
f0 : float;
f1 : float;
...
f100 : float;
}
A value from this type is constructed in C-code. Is
it possible to create a block with a Double_array_tag?
(Because there are only unboxed values in this record.)
Thanks,

For what I know, all float values in this record are actually boxed because of the "int" field. Only records (and arrays) that contain only floats have their floats unboxed.

On a 32 bit machine, the int is 4 bytes long and the floats are 8
bytes long, so the floats wouldn't be aligned. How about simply:
type t = {
i : int;
f : float array;
}
