Their prototypes were already present in gc.h, but they weren't
implemented.
(scm_init_storage): Initialize scm_protects.
* root.c (scm_protects): New element of scm_sys_protects.
(scm_must_malloc, scm_must_realloc): Added a hysteresis to the
rules for raising scm_mtrigger. Previously, unfortunate but not
unlikely circumstances could result in almost constant invokation
of the gc. Now, this situations should be less likely, but they
are not prevented completely.
* gc.c (scm_gc_sweep): Prepend each segment's free cells to its
freelist, rather than wiping out the old value. (Thanks to Marius
Vollmer.)
* gc.c (which_seg, scm_map_free_list, scm_newcell_count,
scm_check_freelist, scm_debug_newcell): New functions and
variables, for debugging freelist problems.
* pairs.h (SCM_NEWCELL): New debugging version added.
* gc.h (scm_debug_newcell): Added extern declaration, used by
debugging version of SCM_NEWCELL.
ramap.c, symbols.c: Added new selectors SCM_CARLOC and SCM_CDRLOC
for obtaining the address of a car or cdr field. Motivation:
&SCM_CXR make assumptions about the internal structure of the
SCM_CXR selectors.
* pairs.h, eval.c, gc.c, init.c, ioext.c, ports.c, ports.h,
srcprop.h, tags.h, throw.c, unif.c: Added new selectors
SCM_SETAND_CAR, SCM_SETAND_CDR, SCM_SETOR_CAR and SCM_SETOR_CDR.
Motivation: Safer use. Some other macros are defined in terms of
these operations. If these are defined using the SCM_SETCXR
(<e1>, SCM_CXR (<e1>) <op> <e2>) pattern a complex <e1> will lead
to inefficiency and an <e1> with side-effects could potentially
break. Also, these particular operations are heavily utilized in
the garbage collector. In unoptimized code there will be a
measurable speedup.
* alist.c, arbiters.c, continuations.c, debug.c, debug.h, eval.c,
eval.h, feature.c, filesys.c, fports.c, gc.c, gsubr.c, init.c,
ioext.c, kw.c, list.c, load.c, mallocs.c, numbers.c, numbers.h,
pairs.c, pairs.h, ports.c, ports.h, posix.c, procprop.c, procs.c,
procs.h, ramap.c, read.c, root.c, srcprop.c, srcprop.h,
strports.c, symbols.c, tags.h, throw.c, unif.c, variable.c,
vports.c: Cleaned up use of pairs: Don't make any special
assumptions about the internal structure of selectors and
mutators: SCM_CXR (<e1>) = <e2> --> SCM_SETCXR (<e1>, <e2>),
SCM_CXR (<e1>) &= <e2> --> SCM_SETAND_CXR (<e1>, <e2>) etc.
(Among other things, this change makes it easier to build Guile
with certain compilers which have problems with casted lvalues.)
required by the tagging system.
* struct.c (alloc_struct): New function.
(scm_make_struct, scm_make_vtable_vtable): Call it.
* struct.h (scm_struct_n_extra_words): Bump to 3.
(scm_struct_i_ptr): New "field".
* gc.c (scm_gc_sweep): When we need to free the data, use the
information stored by alloc_struct to find the beginning of the
block allocated to the structure, so we can free it.
scm_struct_set_x), struct.h, gc.c (scm_gc_mark): Completed Tom
Lord's implementation of structs, allowing for tail arrays as
described in the manual. Also fixed some bugs. (Both the interface
and the implementation should be improved.)
* gc.c: Use the PROTO macro when declaring static functions.
Remove the CPP hair around function definitions.
* gc.c (scm_init_storage): Initialize scm_asyncs.
