Deprecate struct "self" slots
* libguile/print.h (SCM_PRINT_STATE_LAYOUT): Use a normal slot instead of a self slot. * libguile/print.c (make_print_state): Initialize "handle" slot manually. * libguile/struct.c (issue_deprecation_warning_for_self_slots): New helper, called when making vtables to issue deprecation warnings for "self" slots. Avoids warning for the "self" slot that's part of the fixed vtable slots. (scm_i_struct_inherit_vtable_magic): Call issue_deprecation_warning_for_self_slots. * doc/ref/api-data.texi (Vtables, Structure Basics): Remove references to self slots. * NEWS: Add entry.

** Struct "self" slots deprecated
|

|

It used to be that you could make a structure vtable that had "self"
|
||||
slots. Instances of that vtable would have those slots initialized to
|
||||
the instance itself. This can be useful in C code where you might have
|
||||
a pointer to the data array, and want to get the `SCM' handle for the
|
||||
structure. However this was a little used complication without any use
|
||||
in Scheme code. To replace it, just use "p" slots and initialize the
|
||||
slot values manually on initialization.
