Subject: [PATCH] Revise GC asserts.
Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2008 00:14:09 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ga7e4l$oin$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)


* libguile/gc.c (scm_i_gc): Change assert into deprecation warning.

* libguile/private-gc.h (nil): introduce scm_i_last_marked_cell_count,
  as a private mechanism for maintaining cell counts.  Previous
  versions incremented scm_cells_allocated in an inlined function, so
  loading dynamic objects of older GUILEs would break invariants.
