436 * scm_remember_upto_here* functions below. These functions don't do
437 * anything, but since the compiler does not know that they are actually
438 * no-ops, it will generate code that calls these functions with the given
439 * parameters. Therefore, you can be sure that the compiler will keep those
440 * scheme values alive (on the stack or in a register) up to the point where
441 * scm_remember_upto_here* is called. In other words, place the call to
442 * scm_remember_upto_here* _behind_ the last code in your function, that
443 * depends on the scheme object to exist.
445 * Example: We want to make sure that the string object str does not get
446 * garbage collected during the execution of 'some_function' in the code
447 * below, because otherwise the characters belonging to str would be freed and
448 * 'some_function' might access freed memory. To make sure that the compiler
449 * keeps str alive on the stack or in a register such that it is visible to
450 * the conservative gc we add the call to scm_remember_upto_here_1 _after_ the
451 * call to 'some_function'. Note that this would not be necessary if str was
452 * used anyway after the call to 'some_function'.
453 * char *chars = scm_i_string_chars (str);
454 * some_function (chars);
455 * scm_remember_upto_here_1 (str); // str will be alive up to this point.

740 * after a very small number of cell accesses, then the number of cell
741 * accesses during the execution of the after-gc-hook will suffice to cause
742 * the execution of the next gc. Then, guile would keep executing the
743 * after-gc-hook over and over again, and would never come to do other
746 * To overcome this problem, if cell access debugging with additional
747 * garbage collections is enabled, the after-gc-hook is never run by the
748 * garbage collecter. When running guile with cell access debugging and the
749 * execution of the after-gc-hook is desired, then it is necessary to run
750 * the hook explicitly from the user code. This has the effect, that from
751 * the scheme level point of view it seems that garbage collection is
752 * performed with a much lower frequency than it actually is. Obviously,
753 * this will not work for code that depends on a fixed one to one
754 * relationship between the execution counts of the C level garbage
755 * collection hooks and the execution count of the scheme level
