But you do give me an idea now: I could use the smob count as a proxy for the size of the heap, which is what I wanted all along. > While > the code certainly does allocate non-Smob SCM objects a lot as well (by > calling things like scm_cons), the smobbed ones should be worked often > enough that extending the heap then should not cause too much churn. > > -- > David Kastrup > -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - hanw...@gmail.com - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen
