/* {GC Protection Helper Functions}

/*
 * If within a function you need to protect one or more scheme objects from
 * garbage collection, pass them as parameters to one of the
 * scm_remember_upto_here* functions below.  These functions don't do
 * anything, but since the compiler does not know that they are actually
 * no-ops, it will generate code that calls these functions with the given
 * parameters.  Therefore, you can be sure that the compiler will keep those
 * scheme values alive (on the stack or in a register) up to the point where
 * scm_remember_upto_here* is called.  In other words, place the call to
 * scm_remember_upto_here* _behind_ the last code in your function, that
 * depends on the scheme object to exist.
 *
 * Example: We want to make sure that the string object str does not get
 * garbage collected during the execution of 'some_function' in the code
 * below, because otherwise the characters belonging to str would be freed and
 * 'some_function' might access freed memory.  To make sure that the compiler
 * keeps str alive on the stack or in a register such that it is visible to
 * the conservative gc we add the call to scm_remember_upto_here_1 _after_ the
 * call to 'some_function'.  Note that this would not be necessary if str was
 * used anyway after the call to 'some_function'.
 *   char *chars = scm_i_string_chars (str);
 *   some_function (chars);
 *   scm_remember_upto_here_1 (str);  // str will be alive up to this point.
