I'm looking at the way guile-gtk 1.2 puts it around gtk/gdk function calls, but I couldn't spot anything in it which seemed relevant. scm_ints_disabled gets set, but I couldn't see anywhere that variable is tested, only take_signal() where it suppresses an SCM_NEWCELL (and the result of that newcell seems unused anyway). I'm wondering if the right thing would be just to drop the SCM_DEFER_INTS from the guile-gtk generated code. (The code there may still want a mutex then, but that's a gtk/gdk matter, unrelated to what guile might or might not need.) _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
