in C for now.
* rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
* documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
* filesys.c (scm_link): docstring fix.
* fports.h (scm_setfileno): obsolete declaration removed.
* posix.c: bogus popen declaration removed.
* rdelim.c: new file, split from ioext.c with new proc
scm_init_rdelim.
* rdelim.h: new file.
* Makefile.am: add rdelim.c and related files.
* init.c: call scm_init_rdelim. include rdelim.h.
casts its result, so doesn't yield an lvalue per ANSI C.
* goops.c (s_scm_sys_set_object_setter_x): use
SCM_SET_ENTITY_SETTER.
(clear_method_cache): use SCM_SET_ENTITY_PROCEDURE.
* gc.h (SCM_GC_SET_CARD_BVEC): new macro. SCM_GC_CARD_BVEC casts
its result, so doesn't yield an lvalue per ANSI C.
(SCM_GC_SET_CARD_FLAGS): ditto for SCM_GC_GET_CARD_FLAGS.
(SCM_GC_CLR_CARD_FLAGS): redefined in terms of
SCM_GC_SET_CARD_FLAGS.
(SCM_GC_SET_CARD_FLAG, SCM_GC_CLR_CARD_FLAGS): ditto.
* gc.c (INIT_CARD): use the explicit setter macro to set the bvec.
* ioext.c (scm_read_string_x_partial, scm_read_delimited_x),
socket.c (scm_recvfrom): use the new macro, plus minor docstring
changes.
* ioext.c (scm_read_string_x_partial): don't crash if -1 is supplied
for fdes. if current input port is used, check that it's a file
port.
read-string!/partial.
* ports.c (scm_take_from_input_buffers): new procedure used by
scm_read_string_x_partial.
(scm_drain_input): use scm_take_from_input_buffers.
SET_GREEDY, LISTED_P, SET_LISTED, CLR_LISTED, DESTROYED_P,
SET_DESTROYED): new defines/macros.
(GUARDIAN_LIVE, GUARDIAN_ZOMBIES, GUARDIAN_NEXT): deleted.
(add_to_live_list): takes a `guardian_t *' now, not SCM.
(guardian_print): print more info.
(guardian_apply): check if the guardian is destroyed, and throw an
error if so. take one more optional argument `throw_p'.
(scm_guard): depending on the value of `throw_p', return a boolean
result.
(scm_get_one_zombie): remove redundant property test.
(guardian_t): represent the various (currently 3, I hope nothing
more gets added) boolean fields as bit flags.
(scm_guardian_destroyed_p, scm_guardian_greedy_p): new predicates.
(scm_destroy_guardian_x): new procedure.
* guardians.h: added prototypes for `scm_guardian_greedy_p' and
`scm_guardian_destroyed_p'. changed prototype for `scm_guard'.
`weak_keys' and `weak_values' flags out of the inner loop.
* guardians.c: (greedily_guarded_prop): deleted.
(greedily_guarded_whash): new variable. a doubly-weak hash table
used to keep the "greedily hashed" object property. the previous
implementation (via primitive object properties) was incorrect due
to its only-the-key-is-weak semantics.
(scm_guard, get_one_zombie, scm_init_guardians): use/init
`greedily_guarded_whash'.
`scm_gc_mark', but doesn't mark the argument itself. defined
using an arrangement similar to that in eval.c: `scm_gc_mark' and
`scm_gc_mark_dependencies' are derived from the same "template"
by ugly preprocessor magic.
* gc.h: added prototype for `scm_gc_mark_dependencies'.
* init.c (scm_init_guile_1): call the renamed
`scm_init_guardians'.
* guardians.h: changed prototypes for `scm_make_guardian' and
`scm_init_guardians'.
* guardians.c (guardian_t): added new fields `greedy_p' and
`listed_p'.
(GUARDIAN_P): predicate that says whether its argument is a
guardian.
(GUARDIAN_GREEDY_P, GUARDIAN_LISTED_P): new predicates.
(greedy_guardians, sharing_guardians): new variables. hold the
greedy and sharing live guardian lists, respectively.
(first_live_guardian, current_link_field): removed.
(greedily_guarded_prop): new variable. holds the "is greedily
guarded" object property.
(self_centered_zombies): new variable. stores guarded objects
that are parts of cycles.
(add_to_live_list): new function, introduced to decouple marking a
guardian and adding it to the live list.
(guardian_mark): call `add_to_live_list'.
(guardian_print): print whether the guardian is greedy or not.
also change "live" and "zombie" to "reachable" and "unreachable"
respectively, to be less confusing.
(scm_guard): if the guardian is greedy, test whether the object is
already greedily marked. throw an error if so.
(scm_get_one_zombie): if the guardian is greedy, remove the
"greedily guarded" property from the object.
(scm_make_guardian): add a new optional boolean argument which
says whether the guardian is greedy or sharing.
(guardian_gc_init): init the new live lists.
(mark_dependencies): new function.
(mark_and_zombify): new function.
(guardian_zombify): reworked to support the new guardian
semantics. move some logic to `mark_dependencies' and
`mark_and_zombify'.
(whine_about_self_centered_zombies): new function. installed in
the `after-gc-hook' to complain about guarded objects which are
parts of cycles.
(scm_init_guardians): init the new stuff. renamed from
`scm_init_guardian'.
