scm_default_min_yield_1, scm_default_init_heap_size_2,
scm_default_min_yield_2, scm_default_max_segment_size): New global
variables. Can be customized by the application before booting
Guile. (We might want to be able to control these parameters
dynamically through the "options interface" in the future, but
note that that is additional functionality. Here we're giving
default values which the environment variables can override.)
abort ().
(SCM_CARLOC, SCM_CDRLOC): Define directly instead of using
SCM_CELL_OBJECT_0 and SCM_CELL_OBJECT_1. It's not correct to take
the address of these expressions since they use SCM_VALIDATE_CELL.
(Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
trim all lines to 512 chars. I hope it doesn't break anybody's
shell. we'll see.
* gc.h (SCM_[SET_]CELL_{WORD,OBJECT}, SCM_VALIDATE_CELL): reverted
the previous change to this macros, after deciding to torture the
snarfer instead.
the yucky, ugly and nasty conditional compilation back. sorry,
but it was either that or requiring GAWK to build Guile.
removed the code that implemented the old GC scheme.
* init.c (scm_boot_guile_1): removed the code conditioned on
!GUILE_NEW_GC_SCHEME.
* __scm.h: (GUILE_NEW_GC_SCHEME): removed.
* gc.c (scm_protect_object, scm_unprotect_object): change the
implementation to more efficient (at least in the time complexity
sense). the calls should now also be thread-safe -- I suspect
that people expect them to be. (thanks to Han-Wen Nienhuys)
removed the code that implemented the old GC scheme.
* hashtab.c (scm_hash_fn_create_handle_x): add missing
SCM_REALLOW_INTS before return.
* gc.h: (typedef struct scm_freelist_t) remove from here.
* gc.c: (CELL_UP, CELL_DN) make these macros take additional
parameter (the span).
(CLUSTER_SIZE_IN_BYTES, ALIGNMENT_SLACK) new macros.
(typedef struct scm_freelist_t) move here from gc.h, it had no
business being externally visible.
(typedef struct scm_heap_seg_data_t) renamed from
scm_heap_seg_data, to be style-compliant.
(scm_mark_locations) if the possible pointer points to a
multy-cell, check that it's properly aligned.
(init_heap_seg) alighn multy-cells properly, work with the
assumption that the segment size divides cleanly by cluster size
(so that there's no spill).
(round_to_cluster_size) new function.
(alloc_some_heap, make_initial_segment) use round_to_cluster_size
to satisfy the new init_heap_seg invariant.
Cluster sizes are now independent of GC trigger values.
GUILE_GC_TRIGGER_n can now specify a relative trigger value:
A negative integer gives fraction of total heap size in percent.
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.
eliminating some warnings.
* unif.c, strports.c, print.c, options.c: Fix some warnings on
mis-use of SCM/long
* gc.c, gc.h: Added scm_return_first_int(), and added comment re:
what the scm_return_first* functions do.
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),
take the address of _into; it might be a register. Just have
scm_debug_newcell return the new cell.
* gc.c (scm_debug_newcell): Just return the new cell, instead of
taking the address of a place to store it as an argument.
* gc.h (scm_debug_newcell): Change declaration.
(Thanks to Greg Harvey.)
* gc.c (scm_mtrigger, scm_heap_size): Make these unsigned longs.
(scm_gc_sweep): Make n and j local to the blocks they're used in,
so they can have appropriate types for each application. Make i
signed. Use initializers in some spots. I'll probably pay for
all this tweaking.
(scm_must_malloc, scm_must_realloc): Use scm_sizet for size args.
(scm_must_realloc): Make nm unsigned.
(init_heap_seg): Make new_seg_index and n_new_objects signed.
(scm_init_storage): Use prototype-style definition, and make the
argument unsigned.
* gc.h (scm_heap_size, scm_mtrigger, scm_must_malloc,
scm_must_realloc, scm_init_storage): Adjust prototype accordingly.
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.
