Subject: bug#19235: make-fresh-user-module procedure leaks memory
Date: Fri, 26 Dec 2014 18:26:08 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141226182608.24c7dabf@bother.homenet> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20141207141903.1347c764@bother.homenet>
As far as I can tell the make-fresh-user-module procedure is not called
by guile itself, and providing a global mutex for it with a binding
enabling it to be called from scheme code seems to work fine.
This also makes it straightforward to incorporate in a thread-safe
way the code you suggested to free stale user modules. However, as I
mentioned, I am a bit reluctant to incorporate code which might break
in the future. Is there any possibility that a "delete-module!"
procedure could be included within the public guile API for the next
release of guile? It seems like something that could be useful to
anyone using non-default user modules in their code.
Chris
