Subject: MPS: Problem with dynamic modules
Date: Sun, 19 May 2024 15:01:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2seyec5w0.fsf@pro2.fritz.box> (raw)
I think I've found a problem with modules, which I currently don't have
a plan how to fix it or work around it.
Example: vterm.
Its emacs_module_init uses module_make_global_ref to get handles to
functions in Emacs that it can call, among other things. One example
emacs_value Fapply;
int emacs_module_init(struct emacs_runtime *ert) {
emacs_env *env = ert->get_environment(ert);
{
Fapply = env->make_global_ref(env, env->intern(env, "apply"));
}
Note that Fapply here is a variable in the shared lib for vterm.
module_make_global_ref creates a module_global_reference in Emacs, say
R, a pseudo-vector, and remembers it in a global hash table. Its return
value is &R->value,
As a pseudo-vector, R moves, and &R->value changes when it does. And so,
Fapply in the vterm modules becomes invalid.
