420 * scm_remember_upto_here* functions below. These functions don't do
421 * anything, but since the compiler does not know that they are actually
422 * no-ops, it will generate code that calls these functions with the given
423 * parameters. Therefore, you can be sure that the compiler will keep those
424 * scheme values alive (on the stack or in a register) up to the point where
425 * scm_remember_upto_here* is called. In other words, place the call to
426 * scm_remember_upto_here* _behind_ the last code in your function, that
427 * depends on the scheme object to exist.
429 * Example: We want to make sure that the string object str does not get
430 * garbage collected during the execution of 'some_function' in the code
431 * below, because otherwise the characters belonging to str would be freed and
432 * 'some_function' might access freed memory. To make sure that the compiler
433 * keeps str alive on the stack or in a register such that it is visible to
434 * the conservative gc we add the call to scm_remember_upto_here_1 _after_ the
435 * call to 'some_function'. Note that this would not be necessary if str was
436 * used anyway after the call to 'some_function'.
437 * char *chars = scm_i_string_chars (str);

439 * scm_remember_upto_here_1 (str); // str will be alive up to this point.
