* libguile/foreign.c:
* libguile/foreign.h: Rework interface to be more pointer-centric.
Details are:
(SCM_FOREIGN_TYPE_STRUCT, SCM_FOREIGN_TYPE_POINTER): Removed; now the
pointer in a foreign is first-class. If it points to a native type
like uint32, then it still has a tag; but if it points to something
else, like a struct or a pointer or something, then its type is VOID
(i.e., void*).
(SCM_FOREIGN_POINTER): Rename from SCM_FOREIGN_OBJECT.
(SCM_FOREIGN_VALUE_REF, SCM_FOREIGN_VALUE_SET): Rename from
SCM_FOREIGN_OBJECT_REF and SCM_FOREIGN_OBJECT_SET, to indicate that
they only work with value types.
(SCM_FOREIGN_HAS_FINALIZER): Reserve a bit to indicate if the foreign
pointer in question has a finalizer registered.
(SCM_FOREIGN_LEN): For void* pointers, optionally store the length in
bytes of the associated memory region.
(SCM_FOREIGN_VALUE_P): Rename from SCM_FOREIGN_SIMPLE_P.
(SCM_VALIDATE_FOREIGN_VALUE): Rename from SCM_VALIDATE_FOREIGN_SIMPLE.
(scm_take_foreign_pointer): Rename from scm_c_take_foreign. Remove
scm_c_from_foreign.
(scm_foreign_type): New accessor.
(scm_foreign_ref, scm_foreign_set_x): Take some optional args, used
when dereferencing void pointers.
* libguile/dynl.h:
* libguile/dynl.c (scm_dynamic_pointer): New function, used by
scm_dynamic_func. Adapt code to foreign.h changes.
* libguile/goops.c (scm_enable_primitive_generic_x)
(scm_set_primitive_generic_x): Use the SCM_SET_SUBR_GENERIC macro.
* libguile/gsubr.c (create_gsubr): Adapt to API change.
* libguile/gsubr.h (SCM_SUBRF, SCM_SUBR_GENERIC): Store the pointer
directly, not indirected.
* libguile/snarf.h (SCM_DEFINE, SCM_IMMUTABLE_FOREIGN): Store subr
pointers directly. Adapt to SCM_FOREIGN_TYPE_VOID change.
* libguile/vm-i-system.c (subr-call): Access the void* directly.
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!
(sysdep_dynl_link): Added `flags' argument.
(kw_global, sym_global): New.
(scm_dynamic_link): Handle keyword arguments. Pass suitable flags
to sysdep_dynl_link.
* dynl-dl.c (sysdep_dynl_link): Handle new `flags' argument by
conditrionally adding RTLD_GLOBAL to DLOPEN_MODES.
* dynl-shl.c (sysdep_dynl_link): Add and ignore new flags
argument.
* dynl-dld.c (sysdep_dynl_link): Add and ignore new flags
argument.
* dynl.h (scm_dynamic_link): Added rest argument.
* dynl.c (sysdep_dynl_unlink, sysdep_dynl_func): Use const
qualifier for char* argument, to match prototypes. Thanks to Mark
Elbrecht.
function in a dynamic object.
(scm_dynamic_call, scm_dynamic_args_call): Accept the values
produced by scm_dynamic_func as the thing to call.
* dynl.c, dynl-dl.c, dynl-dld.c, dynl-shl.c: Restructured.
(scm_register_module_xxx, scm_registered_modules,
scm_clear_registered_modules): New functions.
