This table contains symbols that are essential to the core runtime: ECL_T,
ECL_UNBOUND, ECL_SIGNAL_HANDLERS, ECL_RESTART_CLUSTERs, ECL_INTERRUPTS_ENABLED,
ECL_ALLOW_OTHER_KEYS and ECL_UNBOUND.
The table is initialized with constexpr, so it is possible to use its elements
in static elements. We also add ecl_def_function to ecl-inl to allow
appropriating C functions into Lisp world at top level.
Previously we've opencoded calls to these functions, although they may be nicely
abstracted with static inline functions. This change improves code readibility
and portability.
We also remove conditionalization for garbage collector inclusion in autotools.
When we propose an alternative gc, then we may decide to put them back, or to
add necessary ifdef statements directly in files.
Moreover untangle c-stack from the gc code and assign the stack base with a
rough guess only when it is not initialized yet (GC will always fill it).
Finally remove a kludge from ecl_adopt_cpu and disable colleciton until the cpu
is fully initialized.
Objects have a well defind extent so there is no need to rely on GC for
them. This change allows us to move stack initialization before garbage
collector is introduced into the system (or even without any GC).
This commit removes initial bindings array from the process and allocates it
only in the bds stack. To make fields in the structure less confusing we rename
initial_bindings slot to inherit_bindings_p.
On observable behavior change is that bindings are inherited when the process is
enabled, not when it is created. That was not specified in documentation so it
should be fine to change this behavior. Moreover it makes more sense from the
programmer perspective -- we want to inherit bindings of the process that starts
our thread, not the one that creates it.
