[Chicken-users] srfi-40 space leak?

2006-04-10 Thread Dan
Hi all, After reading the SRFI-40 (stream library) egg documentation at http://www.call-with-current-continuation.org/eggs/srfi-40.html I thought that the implementation includes the srfi-45 fixes to avoid space leaks. However, the test program below seems to take up an ever-increasing amount

felix winkelmann scripsit: Adding an extra slot to symbols would be pretty handy, and would make it easy to implement different Lisps in chicken, but I wonder how much code depends on C_SIZEOF_SYMBOL being 3 Anyway, give the patch a try, please. At the risk of sounding like an ingrate,

Hi, Is chicken-entry-points missing in chicken 2.3? I can't find a mtching file anywhere. Also in the manual on the web site there exist two sections numbered 6.3, which are Entry Points and Embedding. The Entry Points section is only accessible through the Index. Thanks

[Chicken-users] SWIG Policy Question

2006-04-10 Thread John Lenz
A test was recently added to the SWIG test suite that checks if overflows are correctly detected. It was added for guile, which allows arbitrarily big integers, so a check if the integer is inside the range of a long is possible. Since the scheme languages in SWIG share a lot of code, the test
