* doc/ref/api-control.texi (Prompt Primitives): Remove mention of
one-shot continuations, as it's possible to invoke them multiple times
if the continuation is re-entered through other means.
* doc/ref/api-memory.texi (Garbage Collection Functions):
* doc/ref/libguile-concepts.texi (Garbage Collection): Attempt to be
clear that scanning is a thing that happens in the mark phase. Fixes
#20907 I think.
While describing special characters, remind the reader that
"non-greedy" variants are not supported. They might not be familiar
with POSIX extended regular expression and expect it to work.
* doc/ref/api-regex.texi: Add "non-greedy" observation
Linking to Emacs' regexps as an example of regexp syntax gives the
wrong impression that Guile supports it, which is not true.
* doc/ref/api-regex.texi: Remove link to Emacs' regexp syntax
Implements wishlist item <https://debbugs.gnu.org/18592>.
Requested by Frank Terbeck <ft@bewatermyfriend.org>.
Based on a proposed patch by Nala Ginrut <nalaginrut@gmail.com>.
* libguile/foreign.c (cif_to_procedure): Add 'return_errno' argument.
Store its boolean value in the object table of the generated program.
(scm_i_foreign_call): If the stored 'return_errno' flag is true, then
clear 'errno' before the call, save it after the call, and return it
as a second return value.
(pointer_to_procedure): New static function.
(scm_pointer_to_procedure_with_errno): New C API function, implemented
in terms of 'pointer_to_procedure'.
(scm_pointer_to_procedure): Reimplement in terms of
'pointer_to_procedure', no longer bound to "pointer->procedure". See
below.
(scm_i_pointer_to_procedure): New C function bound to
"pointer->procedure" which now accepts the optional #:return-errno?
keyword argument, implemented in terms of 'pointer_to_procedure'.
(k_return_errno): New keyword #:return-errno?.
* libguile/foreign.h (scm_pointer_to_procedure_with_errno): Add prototype.
* doc/ref/api-foreign.texi (Dynamic FFI): Adjust documentation.
For a long time the API failed to reach consensus among maintainers.
See <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2015-11/msg00005.html>
and <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2014-04/msg00069.html>.

Adds an implementation of SRFI 25 on top of Guile's native arrays. The
implementation does not introduce a disjoint type; Guile arrays and
SRFI-25 arrays can be used interchangably, though with different, partly
conflicting APIs.

addition of SRFI-25.
