I'm embedding calls to Julia code within other languages, and have noticed
what I think is an inconsistency in the implementation of the JL_GC_PUSH*
macros. With the JL_GC_PUSH1, JL_GC_PUSH2, etc. macros, the documentation
on embedding shows to pass the *address* of the jl_value_t pointer vari
The documentation is correct. And these macros exist for different
purposes, which is why they are defined differently. `JL_GC_PUSHARGS`
allocates gc-rooted space and stores a reference to it in the first
argument. `JL_GC_PUSH` does not allocate space, it instead takes the
address(es) of existing v
Thanks for the response. I see that they both result in a GC stack frame
on the program's stack and that the GC determines whether the frame holds
the addresses to the variables or pointers to those addresses based on
whether the first entry in the frame is even or odd.
