@section Smobs
|
|
|
|
This chapter contains reference information related to defining and
|
|
working with smobs. See @ref{Defining New Types (Smobs)} for a
|
|
tutorial-like introduction to smobs.
|
|
|
|
@deftypefun scm_t_bits scm_make_smob_type (const char *name, size_t size)
|
|
This function adds a new smob type, named @var{name}, with instance size
|
|
@var{size}, to the system. The return value is a tag that is used in
|
|
creating instances of the type.
|
|
|
|
If @var{size} is 0, the default @emph{free} function will do nothing.
|
|
|
|
If @var{size} is not 0, the default @emph{free} function will
|
|
deallocate the memory block pointed to by @code{SCM_SMOB_DATA} with
|
|
@code{scm_gc_free}. The @var{WHAT} parameter in the call to
|
|
@code{scm_gc_free} will be @var{NAME}.
|
|
|
|
Default values are provided for the @emph{mark}, @emph{free},
|
|
@emph{print}, and @emph{equalp} functions, as described in
|
|
@ref{Defining New Types (Smobs)}. If you want to customize any of
|
|
these functions, the call to @code{scm_make_smob_type} should be
|
|
immediately followed by calls to one or several of
|
|
@code{scm_set_smob_mark}, @code{scm_set_smob_free},
|
|
@code{scm_set_smob_print}, and/or @code{scm_set_smob_equalp}.
|
|
@end deftypefun
|
|
|
|
@deftypefn {C Function} void scm_set_smob_mark (scm_t_bits tc, SCM (*mark) (SCM obj))
|
|
This function sets the smob marking procedure for the smob type specified by
|
|
the tag @var{tc}. @var{tc} is the tag returned by @code{scm_make_smob_type}.
|
|
|
|
The @var{mark} procedure must cause @code{scm_gc_mark} to be called
|
|
for every @code{SCM} value that is directly referenced by the smob
|
|
instance @var{obj}. One of these @code{SCM} values can be returned
|
|
from the procedure and Guile will call @code{scm_gc_mark} for it.
|
|
This can be used to avoid deep recursions for smob instances that form
|
|
a list.
|
|
|
|
It must not call any libguile function or macro except
|
|
@code{scm_gc_mark}, @code{SCM_SMOB_FLAGS}, @code{SCM_SMOB_DATA},
|
|
@code{SCM_SMOB_DATA_2}, and @code{SCM_SMOB_DATA_3}.
|
|
@end deftypefn
|
|
|
|
@deftypefn {C Function} void scm_set_smob_free (scm_t_bits tc, size_t (*free) (SCM obj))
|
|
This function sets the smob freeing procedure for the smob type
|
|
specified by the tag @var{tc}. @var{tc} is the tag returned by
|
|
@code{scm_make_smob_type}.
|
|
|
|
The @var{free} procedure must deallocate all resources that are
|
|
directly associated with the smob instance @var{OBJ}. It must assume
|
|
that all @code{SCM} values that it references have already been freed
|
|
and are thus invalid.
|
|
|
|
It must also not call any libguile function or macro except
|
|
@code{scm_gc_free}, @code{SCM_SMOB_FLAGS}, @code{SCM_SMOB_DATA},
|
|
@code{SCM_SMOB_DATA_2}, and @code{SCM_SMOB_DATA_3}.
|
|
|
|
The @var{free} procedure must return 0.
|
|
@end deftypefn
|
|
|
|
@deftypefn {C Function} void scm_set_smob_print (scm_t_bits tc, int (*print) (SCM obj, SCM port, scm_print_state* pstate))
|
|
This function sets the smob printing procedure for the smob type
|
|
specified by the tag @var{tc}. @var{tc} is the tag returned by
|
|
@code{scm_make_smob_type}.
|
|
|
|
The @var{print} procedure should output a textual representation of
|
|
the smob instance @var{obj} to @var{port}, using information in
|
|
@var{pstate}.
|
|
|
|
The textual representation should be of the form @code{#<name ...>}.
|
|
This ensures that @code{read} will not interpret it as some other
|
|
Scheme value.
|
|
|
|
It is often best to ignore @var{pstate} and just print to @var{port}
|
|
with @code{scm_display}, @code{scm_write}, @code{scm_simple_format},
|
|
and @code{scm_puts}.
|
|
@end deftypefn
|
|
|
|
@deftypefn {C Function} void scm_set_smob_equalp (scm_t_bits tc, SCM (*equalp) (SCM obj1, SCM obj1))
|
|
This function sets the smob equality-testing predicate for the smob
|
|
type specified by the tag @var{tc}. @var{tc} is the tag returned by
|
|
@code{scm_make_smob_type}.
|
|
|
|
The @var{equalp} procedure should return @code{SCM_BOOL_T} when
|
|
@var{obj1} is @code{equal?} to @var{obj2}. Else it should return
|
|
@var{SCM_BOOL_F}. Both @var{obj1} and @var{obj2} are instances of the
|
|
smob type @var{tc}.
|
|
@end deftypefn
|
|
|
|
@deftypefn {C Function} void scm_assert_smob_type (scm_t_bits tag, SCM val)
|
|
When @var{val} is a smob of the type indicated by @var{tag}, do nothing.
|
|
Else, signal an error.
|
|
@end deftypefn
|
|
|
|
@deftypefn {C Macro} int SCM_SMOB_PREDICATE (scm_t_bits tag, SCM exp)
|
|
Return true iff @var{exp} is a smob instance of the type indicated by
|
|
@var{tag}. The expression @var{exp} can be evaluated more than once,
|
|
so it shouldn't contain any side effects.
|
|
@end deftypefn
|
|
|
|
@deftypefn {C Macro} void SCM_NEWSMOB (SCM value, scm_t_bits tag, void *data)
|
|
@deftypefnx {C Macro} void SCM_NEWSMOB2 (SCM value, scm_t_bits tag, void *data, void *data2)
|
|
@deftypefnx {C Macro} void SCM_NEWSMOB3 (SCM value, scm_t_bits tag, void *data, void *data2, void *data3)
|
|
Make @var{value} contain a smob instance of the type with tag
|
|
@var{tag} and smob data @var{data}, @var{data2}, and @var{data3}, as
|
|
appropriate.
|
|
|
|
The @var{tag} is what has been returned by @code{scm_make_smob_type}.
|
|
The initial values @var{data}, @var{data2}, and @var{data3} are of
|
|
type @code{scm_t_bits}; when you want to use them for @code{SCM}
|
|
values, these values need to be converted to a @code{scm_t_bits} first
|
|
by using @code{SCM_UNPACK}.
|
|
|
|
The flags of the smob instance start out as zero.
|
|
@end deftypefn
|
|
|
|
Since it is often the case (e.g., in smob constructors) that you will
|
|
create a smob instance and return it, there is also a slightly specialized
|
|
macro for this situation:
|
|
|
|
@deftypefn {C Macro} {} SCM_RETURN_NEWSMOB (scm_t_bits tag, void *data)
|
|
@deftypefnx {C Macro} {} SCM_RETURN_NEWSMOB2 (scm_t_bits tag, void *data1, void *data2)
|
|
@deftypefnx {C Macro} {} SCM_RETURN_NEWSMOB3 (scm_t_bits tag, void *data1, void *data2, void *data3)
|
|
This macro expands to a block of code that creates a smob instance of
|
|
the type with tag @var{tag} and smob data @var{data}, @var{data2}, and
|
|
@var{data3}, as with @code{SCM_NEWSMOB}, etc., and causes the
|
|
surrounding function to return that @code{SCM} value. It should be
|
|
the last piece of code in a block.
|
|
@end deftypefn
|
|
|
|
@deftypefn {C Macro} scm_t_bits SCM_SMOB_FLAGS (SCM obj)
|
|
Return the 16 extra bits of the smob @var{obj}. No meaning is
|
|
predefined for these bits, you can use them freely.
|
|
@end deftypefn
|
|
|
|
@deftypefn {C Macro} scm_t_bits SCM_SET_SMOB_FLAGS (SCM obj, scm_t_bits flags)
|
|
Set the 16 extra bits of the smob @var{obj} to @var{flags}. No
|
|
meaning is predefined for these bits, you can use them freely.
|
|
@end deftypefn
|
|
|
|
@deftypefn {C Macro} scm_t_bits SCM_SMOB_DATA (SCM obj)
|
|
@deftypefnx {C Macro} scm_t_bits SCM_SMOB_DATA_2 (SCM obj)
|
|
@deftypefnx {C Macro} scm_t_bits SCM_SMOB_DATA_3 (SCM obj)
|
|
Return the first (second, third) immediate word of the smob @var{obj}
|
|
as a @code{scm_t_bits} value. When the word contains a @code{SCM}
|
|
value, use @code{SCM_SMOB_OBJECT} (etc.) instead.
|
|
@end deftypefn
|
|
|
|
@deftypefn {C Macro} void SCM_SET_SMOB_DATA (SCM obj, scm_t_bits val)
|
|
@deftypefnx {C Macro} void SCM_SET_SMOB_DATA_2 (SCM obj, scm_t_bits val)
|
|
@deftypefnx {C Macro} void SCM_SET_SMOB_DATA_3 (SCM obj, scm_t_bits val)
|
|
Set the first (second, third) immediate word of the smob @var{obj} to
|
|
@var{val}. When the word should be set to a @code{SCM} value, use
|
|
@code{SCM_SMOB_SET_OBJECT} (etc.) instead.
|
|
@end deftypefn
|
|
|
|
@deftypefn {C Macro} SCM SCM_SMOB_OBJECT (SCM obj)
|
|
@deftypefnx {C Macro} SCM SCM_SMOB_OBJECT_2 (SCM obj)
|
|
@deftypefnx {C Macro} SCM SCM_SMOB_OBJECT_3 (SCM obj)
|
|
Return the first (second, third) immediate word of the smob @var{obj}
|
|
as a @code{SCM} value. When the word contains a @code{scm_t_bits}
|
|
value, use @code{SCM_SMOB_DATA} (etc.) instead.
|
|
@end deftypefn
|
|
|
|
@deftypefn {C Macro} void SCM_SET_SMOB_OBJECT (SCM obj, SCM val)
|
|
@deftypefnx {C Macro} void SCM_SET_SMOB_OBJECT_2 (SCM obj, SCM val)
|
|
@deftypefnx {C Macro} void SCM_SET_SMOB_OBJECT_3 (SCM obj, SCM val)
|
|
Set the first (second, third) immediate word of the smob @var{obj} to
|
|
@var{val}. When the word should be set to a @code{scm_t_bits} value, use
|
|
@code{SCM_SMOB_SET_DATA} (etc.) instead.
|
|
@end deftypefn
|
|
|
|
@deftypefn {C Macro} {SCM *} SCM_SMOB_OBJECT_LOC (SCM obj)
|
|
@deftypefnx {C Macro} {SCM *} SCM_SMOB_OBJECT_2_LOC (SCM obj)
|
|
@deftypefnx {C Macro} {SCM *} SCM_SMOB_OBJECT_3_LOC (SCM obj)
|
|
Return a pointer to the first (second, third) immediate word of the
|
|
smob @var{obj}. Note that this is a pointer to @code{SCM}. If you
|
|
need to work with @code{scm_t_bits} values, use @code{SCM_PACK} and
|
|
@code{SCM_UNPACK}, as appropriate.
|
|
@end deftypefn
|
|
|
|
@deftypefun SCM scm_markcdr (SCM @var{x})
|
|
Mark the references in the smob @var{x}, assuming that @var{x}'s first
|
|
data word contains an ordinary Scheme object, and @var{x} refers to no
|
|
other objects. This function simply returns @var{x}'s first data word.
