@ -8,29 +8,6 @@ Changes since the stable branch:
* Changes to the standalone interpreter
** SCM_VELTS macros is now read-only. For writing, use the new macros
SCM_WRITABLE_VELTS, SCM_SET_VECTOR_LENGTH. The use of
SCM_WRITABLE_VELTS is discouraged, though.
** Garbage collector rewrite.
The garbage collector is cleaned up a lot, and now uses lazy
sweeping. This is reflected in the output of (gc-stats); since cells
are being freed when they are allocated, the cells-allocated field
stays roughly constant.
For malloc related triggers, the behavior is changed. It uses the same
heuristic as the cell-triggered collections. It may be tuned with the
environment variables GUILE_MIN_YIELD_MALLOC. This is the percentage
for minimum yield of malloc related triggers; (default: 40)
GUILE_INIT_MALLOC_LIMIT is the trigger for doing a GC. The default is
200 kb.
Debugging operations for the freelist have been deprecated, along with
the C variables that control garbage collection. The environment
variables GUILE_MAX_SEGMENT_SIZE, GUILE_INIT_SEGMENT_SIZE_2,
GUILE_INIT_SEGMENT_SIZE_1, and GUILE_MIN_YIELD_2 should be used.
** New command line option `--no-debug'.
Specifying `--no-debug' on the command line will keep the debugging
