33 Under *NO* circumstances should new items be added to the global
34 namespace (via adding #define, typedef, or similar to this file) with
35 generic names. This usually means that any new names should be
36 prefixed by either SCM_ or GUILE_. i.e. do *not* #define HAVE_FOO or
37 SIZEOF_BAR. See configure.in, gen-scmconfig.h.in, and
38 gen-scmconfig.c for examples of how to properly handle this issue.
39 The main documentation is in gen-scmconfig.c.

41 "What's the difference between _scm.h and __scm.h?"
42
43 _scm.h is not installed; it's only visible to the libguile sources
44 themselves, and it includes config.h, the private config header.
45
46 __scm.h is installed, and is #included by <libguile.h>. If both
47 the client and libguile need some piece of information, and it
48 doesn't fit well into the header file for any particular module, it
49 should go in __scm.h. __scm.h includes scmconfig.h, the public
50 config header.

334 * Guile as of today can only work on systems which fulfill at least the

336 *
337 * - scm_t_bits and SCM variables have at least 32 bits.
338 * Guile's type system is based on this assumption.
339 *
340 * - sizeof (scm_t_bits) >= sizeof (void*) and sizeof (SCM) >= sizeof (void*)
341 * Guile's type system is based on this assumption, since it must be
342 * possible to store pointers to cells on the heap in scm_t_bits and SCM
343 * variables.
344 *
345 * - sizeof (scm_t_bits) >= 4 and sizeof (scm_t_bits) is a power of 2.
346 * Guile's type system is based on this assumption. In particular, it is
347 * assumed that cells, i. e. pairs of scm_t_bits variables, are eight
348 * character aligned. This is because three bits of a scm_t_bits variable
349 * that is holding a pointer to a cell on the heap must be available for
350 * storing type data.
351 *
352 * - sizeof (scm_t_bits) <= sizeof (void*) and sizeof (SCM) <= sizeof (void*)
353 * In some parts of guile, scm_t_bits and SCM variables are passed to
354 * functions as void* arguments. Together with the requirement above, this
355 * requires a one-to-one correspondence between the size of a void* and the
356 * sizes of scm_t_bits and SCM variables.
357 *
358 * - numbers are encoded using two's complement.
359 * The implementation of the bitwise scheme level operations is based on
360 * this assumption.
