svm: Port to 64 bit words.
-(define-integrable scheme-object-width 32) ;could be 64 too
+(define-integrable scheme-object-width (if (fix:fixnum? #x100000000) 64 32))
We should be reducing, not increasing, the compiler's dependence on
the system characteristics of the host Scheme in which it runs.
I haven't looked closely at SVM in a while. Is the compiled code
dependent on the word size of the physical machine that executes it?
If so, why, and can I persuade the compiler to generate 32-bit or
64-bit SVM code independent of whether the compiler's host is a 32-bit
or 64-bit machine?
