* Guile Weak References This is a simple little library that makes use of the weak vector functionality in core Guile to implement weak references, objects which weakly point to other objects. The interface is very simple: (make-weakref obj) - Create a weak reference, which will not count as a reference, so the object can be garbage collected (weakref-object ref) - Get the object associated with the reference, or #f if it has been garbage collected. ** Implementation This is a very simple implementation (thanks David Thompson for a simpler idea). It simply calls a single- element weak vector a weak reference. Initially this used the weak hash table support but using a weak vector is far simpler and uses less memory.
