Re: TLS implementation

Ar an t-ochtú lá de mí Iúil, scríobh Jerry James: Another thing is that usually in the XEmacs code, in situations like unix_open_network_stream where the Lisp_Object tls is just used for its booleanness, the C api uses an integer (say, a Boolint) for the boolean value, converting when passing from Lisp like so: PROCMETH (open_network_stream, (name, host, service, protocol, &inch, &outch, !NILP (tls))); This is cleaner for debugging problems with the garbage collector, since there won’t be pointers hanging around to objects that are not necessarily garbage protected. I don’t anticipate any problems with how you’ve written it, but it’s better style not to pass the Lisp_Object itself on if it’s not being used. -- ‘Liston operated so fast that he once accidentally amputated an assistant’s fingers along with a patient’s leg, […] The patient and the assistant both died of sepsis, and a spectator reportedly died of shock, resulting in the only known procedure with a 300% mortality.’ (Atul Gawande, NEJM, 2012) _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
