(SCM_NONREC_CRITICAL_SECTION_START,
SCM_NONREC_CRITICAL_SECTION_END, SCM_REC_CRITICAL_SECTION_START,
SCM_REC_CRITICAL_SECTION_END): New macros.
(SCM_CRITICAL_SECTION_START/END): Defined here.
* eval.c: Insert SOURCE_SECTION_START / SOURCE_SECTION_END around
the three calls to scm_m_expand_body.
* gc.h: #include "libguile/pthread-threads.h";
(SCM_FREELIST_CREATE, SCM_FREELIST_LOC): New macros.
* gc.c (scm_i_freelist, scm_i_freelist2): Defined to be of type
scm_t_key;
* gc.c, gc-freelist.c, inline.h: Use SCM_FREELIST_LOC for freelist
access.
* gc-freelist.c (scm_gc_init_freelist): Create freelist keys.
* gc-freelist.c, threads.c (really_launch): Use
SCM_FREELIST_CREATE.
* gc-malloc.c (scm_realloc, scm_gc_register_collectable_memory):
* gc.c (scm_i_expensive_validation_check, scm_gc,
scm_gc_for_newcell): Put threads to sleep before doing GC-related
heap administration so that those pieces of code are executed
single-threaded. We might consider rewriting these code sections
in terms of a "call_gc_code_singly_threaded" construct instead of
calling the pair of scm_i_thread_put_to_sleep () and
scm_i_thread_wake_up (). Also, we would want to have as many of
these sections eleminated.
* init.c (scm_init_guile_1): Call scm_threads_prehistory.
* inline.h: #include "libguile/threads.h"
* pthread-threads.h: Macros now conform more closely to the
pthreads interface. Some of them now take a second argument.
* threads.c, threads.h: Many changes.
* configure.in: Temporarily replaced "copt" threads option with new
option "pthreads".
(USE_PTHREAD_THREADS): Define if pthreads configured.
* *.c: add space after commas everywhere.
* *.c: use SCM_VECTOR_SET everywhere, where a vector is written.
Document cases where SCM_WRITABLE_VELTS() is used.
* vectors.h (SCM_VELTS): prepare for write barrier, and let
SCM_VELTS() return a const pointer
(SCM_VECTOR_SET): add macro.
* autogen.sh (mscripts): find and check version number of
autoconf. Complain if 2.53 is not found.
defined. They don't do anything useful, especially since the
only case where DYNAMIC_LINKING is undefined seems to be
when --with-modules=no is given to configure, which is basically
requesting that the "dynamic linking module" be omitted.
* Makefile.am (libguile_la_SOURCES): move dynl.c from
libguile_la_SOURCES to EXTRA_libguile_la_SOURCES.
* extensions.c (load_extension): check DYNAMIC_LINKING for
scm_dynamic_call.
* init.c (scm_init_guile_1): check DYNAMIC_LINKING for
scm_init_dynamic_linking.
* configure.in: check dynamic linking before modules. Add dynl.c
if dynamic linking is available, i.e., unless --with-modules=no
was given to configure.
