correct! (sorry..my poor english)

I think huge c-array should be representation as bytevector or pointer object.

(define type (list int (make-list 10 int)))

(define struct (make-c-struct type (list 42 (make-list 10 42))))

(parse-c-struct struct (list int '*))
=> (42 #<pointer 0x2a0000002a>)

but….when i access to that pointer object
(pointer->bytevector (cadr (parse-c-struct struct (list int '*)))
                     (* 10 (sizeof int)))

=> shutdown guile!

with  my test C function..

typedef struct {
  int a;
  int b;
  int c[2000];
} Foo;

Foo make_foo(int a, int b) {
  Foo foo = {.a = a, .b = b};
  return foo;
}

((pointer->procedure
   (list int int '*)
   (dynamic-func "make_foo" libfoo)
   (list int int))
 10 10)

shutdown…. I also test in SBCL(cffi-libffi)
(cffi:defcstruct foo
  (a :int)
  (b :int)
  (c :int :count 2000))

(cffi:defcfun "make_foo" (:struct foo)
  (a :int)
  (b :int))

(make-foo 10 20)  => (C #.(SB-SYS:INT-SAP #X0CC6C0A8) B 20 A 10)

but when I change to 
(cffi:defcstruct foo
  (a :int)
  (b :int)
  (c :pointer))

when call (make-foo 10 20), then shut down.
but It seems consequent, array and pointer are different type.
