Next: Bit Vector, Previous: Cons, Up: Allocation of Objects in SXEmacs Lisp [Contents][Index]
As mentioned above, each vector is malloc()ed individually, and
all are threaded through the variable all_vectors. Vectors are
marked strangely during garbage collection, by kludging the size field.
Note that the struct Lisp_Vector is declared with its
contents field being a stretchy array of one element. It
is actually malloc()ed with the right size, however, and access
to any element through the contents array works fine.
