Changing from macro to function for instance broke guile-gtk. It was #ifdef testing for SCM_STRING_LENGTH to know to use that (in 1.6), as opposed to SCM_LENGTH (in whatever dim dark past). _______________________________________________ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user
