Working with a huge data chunks

btw, if you really need to create a subview, then you can create your own substring type on top of bigarray, that will basically have the following type definition

type view = {
   off : int;
   len : int;
   data : Bigstring.t;
}

Then the view function will just change off and len and won’t touch data and therefore ba_sub would never be called.

Surprisingly, this type already exists in BAP, it is called Memory.t :stuck_out_tongue: And Memory.view is efficient as it doesn’t do any slices.
