Andy, I remember you said at GHM that we might not use libgc correctly. Related to this, I found some tips in README.QUICK: [quote] Replace calls to malloc by calls to GC_MALLOC, and calls to realloc by calls to GC_REALLOC. Define GC_DEBUG before including gc.h for additional checking. [\quote] We also have GC_malloc_* calls in Guile and maybe we should have only GC_MALLOC_* calls so that the debugging mode can work (just defining GC_DEBUG before including gc.h gives a segfault). There is also a warning: [quote] Do not store the only pointer to an object in memory allocated with system malloc, since the collector usually does not scan memory allocated in this way. [/quote] But I haven't studied the code yet to tell if we respect this. What do you guys think? Tibi
