As the FSF advises, 'There is no legal significance to using the
three-character sequence “(C)”, but it does no harm.' It does take up
space though! For that reason, we remove it here from our C files.
* configure.ac: Check for GC_is_heap_ptr, added after libgc 7.2.
* libguile/pairs.h (GC_is_heap_ptr): Define a shim for GC_is_heap_ptr,
inside BUILDING_LIBGUILE so as not to expose it to users.
* libguile/pairs.h (scm_cons, scm_car, scm_cdr): Define these as inline
functions.
(scm_is_pair): Move here from inline.h.
* libguile/pairs.c: Remove definitions here, and define gsubrs.
* libguile/inline.h: Remove scm_is_pair implementation.
* libguile/inline.c: Include pairs.h to residualize inlines from
pairs.h.
* libguile/pairs.h (scm_is_null): Nil is also null.
* libguile/vm-i-scheme.c (not, not-not, null?, not-null?):
* libguile/vm-i-system.c (br-if-null, br-if-not-null): Remove some more
nil special cases.
* libguile/pairs.h:
* libguile/pairs.c: Previously scm_cdadr et al were implemented as
#defines that called scm_i_chase_pairs, and the Scheme-exposed
functions themselves were cxr subrs, which got special help in the
interpreter. Since now the special help is unnecessary (because the
compiler inlines and expands calls to car, cdadr, etc), the complexity
is a loss. So just implement cdadr etc using normal functions. There's
an advantage too, in that the compiler can unroll the cxring, reducing
branches.
* libguile/tags.h (scm_tc7_cxr): Remove this tag.
(scm_tcs_subrs): Now there's only one kind of subr, yay!
* libguile/debug.c (scm_procedure_name)
* libguile/evalext.c (scm_self_evaluating_p)
* libguile/gc.c (scm_i_tag_name)
* libguile/goops.c (scm_class_of)
* libguile/hash.c (scm_hasher)
* libguile/print.c (iprin1)
* libguile/procprop.c (scm_i_procedure_arity)
* libguile/procs.c (scm_procedure_p, scm_subr_p)
(scm_make_procedure_with_setter)
* libguile/vm.c (apply_foreign): Remove cxr cases. Replace uses of
scm_tcs_subrs with scm_tc7_gsubr.
* Renumbers the IFLAG constants.
* Adds several macros related to boolean type tests, null tests, and
boolean-truth testing (including lisp-style boolean-truth tests).
* Adds compile-time checks to verify the necessary IFLAG numbering
properties needed for the checks to work properly.
* Changes some existing code to use the new optimized macros, without
changing the semantics of the code at all (except that scm_is_bool
is changed from a function to a macro).
I added the following macros, whose names explicitly state how %nil
should be handled. See the comments in the patch for more information
about these.
scm_is_false_assume_not_lisp_nil scm_is_true_assume_not_lisp_nil
scm_is_false_and_not_lisp_nil scm_is_true_or_lisp_nil
scm_is_false_or_lisp_nil scm_is_true_and_not_lisp_nil
scm_is_lisp_false scm_is_lisp_true
scm_is_null_assume_not_lisp_nil
scm_is_null_and_not_lisp_nil
scm_is_null_or_lisp_nil
scm_is_bool_and_not_lisp_nil
scm_is_bool_or_lisp_nil
The following already-existing macros are defined as aliases, such
that their semantics is unchanged (although scm_is_bool used to be a
function and is now a macro).
scm_is_null --> scm_is_null_and_not_lisp_nil
scm_is_false --> scm_is_false_and_not_lisp_nil
scm_is_true --> scm_is_true_or_lisp_nil
scm_is_bool --> scm_is_bool_and_not_lisp_nil
(I still believe that these should be changed to versions that handle
%nil properly, but await approval on that point, so these patches do
not make those changes)
Also, if the preprocessor macro SCM_ENABLE_ELISP is not true (this
macro already existed and was used in lang.h), all overheads
associated with %nil handling are eliminated from the above macros.
* libguile/tags.h (SCM_BOOL_F, SCM_BOOL_T, SCM_UNSPECIFIED)
(SCM_UNDEFINED, SCM_UNBOUND, SCM_ELISP_NIL): Renumber, so that a
number of important distinctions (false versus true, end-of-list, etc)
can be made by masking a single bit. Also define a number of
build-time tests to assert that this condition holds.
* libguile/boolean.h (scm_is_false_and_not_nil, scm_is_true_or_nil)
(scm_is_false_assume_not_nil, scm_is_true_assume_not_nil):
(scm_is_false_or_nil, scm_is_true_and_not_nil)
(scm_is_bool_or_nil, scm_is_bool_and_not_nil): New exciting macros to
test certain boolean/end-of-list properties.
(scm_is_false, scm_is_true): Use a restrictive definition, where only
SCM_BOOL_F is false. Should probably change in the future.
(scm_is_bool): Incompatible change: changed to be a macro. Was a
function before. Probably should allow nil as a boolean, but that will
be for a later patch.
(scm_is_lisp_false, scm_is_lisp_true): New macros, implementing the
standard Lisp boolean predicates, where '() is actually false.
* libguile/eval.i.c (CEVAL): Fix a number of false-or-nil and similar
tests to use the new macros.
* libguile/lang.h (SCM_NULL_OR_NIL_P): Use scm_is_null_or_nil.
* libguile/pairs.c: Add a compile-time check that null and nil differ by
only one bit.
* libguile/pairs.h (scm_is_null_and_not_nil, scm_is_null_assume_not_nil)
(scm_is_null_or_nil): New exciting macros!
(scm_is_null): Just be scm_is_null_and_not_nil, for now.
* libguile/print.c: Adapt to the reordering, and print suitably nasty
things for the not-to-be-used values.
discouraged.h. Replaced all uses with scm_is_pair.
(SCM_I_CONSP): New name for SCM_CONSP.
* pairs.h, pairs.c (scm_is_pair, scm_is_null, scm_car, scm_cdr,
scm_i_chase_pairs, SCM_I_A_PAT, SCM_I_D_PAT, etc, scm_caar,
scm_cadr, etc): New.
(SCM_NULLP, SCM_NNULLP): Moved to discouraged.h. Replaced all
uses with scm_is_null.
allocating heap. The basic idea is to trigger GC every Nth
allocated cell and grow heap when free list runs out. The scheme
has been extended so that GC isn't triggered until all remaining
cells are used. The implementation is also prepared for
development in the direction of POSIX threads.
* gc.c (SCM_EXPHEAP): In order to grow by a factor of 1.5,
SCM_EXPHEAP should return half of the heap size.
name for a Scheme object (now a void*), and SCM as 32 bit word for
storing tags and immediates (now a long int). Introduced
SCM_ASWORD and SCM_ASSCM for conversion. Fixed various dubious
code in the process: arbiter.c (use macros), unif.c (scm_array_p),
added append docs from R4RS.
* strings.c: Docstring typo fix, + eliminate unneeded IMP tests.
Thanks Dirk Hermann!
* chars.h: Provide SCM_CHARP, SCM_CHAR, SCM_MAKE_CHAR and
deprecate SCM_ICHRP, SCM_ICHR, SCM_MAKICHR. Thanks Dirk Hermann!
* *.h, *.c: Use SCM_CHARP, SCM_CHAR, SCM_MAKE_CHAR throughout.
Drop use of SCM_P for function prototypes... assume an ANSI C
compiler. Thanks Dirk Hermann!
function headers and argument checking. Switched SCM_PROC,
SCM_PROC1 macros to be GUILE_PROC, GUILE_PROC1 (may change names
later, but was useful to keep old versions around while migrate)
that has docstrings and argument lists embedded in the GUILE_PROC
macro invocations that expand into a function header. Use lots of
new SCM_VALIDATE_* macros to simplify error checking and reduce
tons of redundancy. This is very similar to what I did for Scwm.
Note that none of the extraction of the docstrings, nor software
engineering checks of Scwm is yet added to Guile. I'll work on
that tomorrow, I expect.
* Makefile.am: Added scm_validate.h to modinclude_HEADERS.
* chars.c: Added docstrings for the primitives defined in here.
* snarf.h: Added GUILE_PROC, GUILE_PROC1. Added
SCM_REGISTER_PROC to be like old SCM_PROC, though old SCM_PROC
still remains for now. Changed naming convention for the s_foo
string name of the primitive to be s_scm_foo for ease of use with
the macro.
* scm_validate.h: Lots of new SCM_VALIDATE macros to simplify
argument checking through guile. Maybe some of these should be
folded into the header file for the types they check, but for now
it was easiest to just stick them all in one place.
