As I remember, at every entry point of the generated C functions there is a test for the height of the C stack so far. If the size (height * sizeof(C_word)) is bigger than the current nursery size, a GC occurs. At every other point alloca is supposed to succeed. -- -alex http://www.artisancoder.com/ _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
