implementation of evaluator specific memoization codes and special
constants like #f, '() etc. ('flags'), which are not evaluator
specific. The goal is to remove definitions of evaluator
memoization codes completely from the public interface. This will
make it possible to experiment more freely with optimizations of
guile's internal representation of memoized code.
* objects.c (scm_class_of): Eliminate dependency on SCM_ISYMNUM.
* print.c (iflagnames): New array, holding the printed names of
guile's special constants ('flags').
(scm_isymnames): Now holds only the printed names of the
memoization codes.
(scm_iprin1): Separate the handling of memoization codes and
guile's special constants.
* tags.h (scm_tc9_flag, SCM_ITAG9, SCM_MAKE_ITAG9, SCM_ITAG9_DATA,
SCM_IFLAGNUM): new
(scm_tc8_char, scm_tc8_iloc, SCM_BOOL_F, SCM_BOOL_T,
SCM_UNDEFINED, SCM_EOF_VAL, SCM_EOL, SCM_UNSPECIFIED, SCM_UNBOUND,
SCM_ELISP_NIL, SCM_IM_DISPATCH, SCM_IM_SLOT_REF,
SCM_IM_SLOT_SET_X, SCM_IM_DELAY, SCM_IM_FUTURE,
SCM_IM_CALL_WITH_VALUES, SCM_IM_NIL_COND, SCM_IM_BIND): Changed
values.
(SCM_IFLAGP): SCM_IFLAGP now only tests for flags.
(SCM_IFLAGP, SCM_MAKIFLAG, SCM_IFLAGNUM): Generalized to use the
tc9 macros and scm_tc9_flag.
The typecode of the former 14th short instruction is now used to
represent long instructions. Changed some comments to reflect
this fact.
(SCM_MAKISYM): ISYMs get a new tc7 code, namely the one that was
previously used by SCM_IM_DEFINE.
(SCM_IM_DEFINE): Turned into a long instruction.
* eval.c (unmemocopy, SCM_CEVAL): Treat SCM_IM_DEFINE as a long
instruction.
* eval.c (SCM_CEVAL): Since characters and iflags have now a tc7
code that is separate from all instructions, one level of dispatch
for long instructions can be eliminated.
* print.c (scm_isymnames): Removed some commented code.
of SCM_SLOPPY_INEXACTP, SCM_SLOPPY_REALP and SCM_SLOPPY_COMPLEXP.
* numbers.h, deprecated.h (SCM_SLOPPY_INEXACTP, SCM_SLOPPY_REALP,
SCM_SLOPPY_COMPLEXP): Deprecated and moved from numbers.h to
deprecated.h.
SCM_SLOPPY_INEXACTP, SCM_SLOPPY_REALP and SCM_SLOPPY_COMPLEXP.
* eq.c (scm_eqv_p, scm_equal_p): Reordered comparisons from
0.0==some_expression to some_expression==0.0. The latter is
better readable. The former is preferred by some people, since it
leads to a compiler error when confusing == with =. However, when
using gcc, a warning will be issued if in an if-statement an
assigment appears. Since many Guile developers are using gcc,
such errors will not remain unnoticed anyway. We can therefore
focus on better readability.
parameters to not-found-proc, use hyphens rather than underscores for
that parameter name.
(scm_primitive_property_set_x): In docstring, VAL is the value
parameter not CODE.
