Hello,

I'm working on building guile 2.2.4 for Cygwin/Windows. I have now resolved a couple of library issues, and have run into a problem with conflicting declarations.

Environment:

Cygwin

$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 7.4.0
Copyright © 2017 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

guile-2.2.4

gc-8.0.4

Error message:

make  all-am
make[3]: Entering directory '/tmp/guile-2.2.4/libguile'
  CC       guile-guile.o
In file included from ../libguile.h:81:0,
                 from guile.c:34:
../libguile/pairs.h:182:1: error: conflicting types for 'GC_is_heap_ptr'
 GC_is_heap_ptr (void *ptr)
 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                 from ../libguile/gc.h:156,
                 from ../libguile/atomic.h:25,
                 from ../libguile.h:37,
                 from guile.c:34:
/usr/local/include/gc/gc.h:551:20: note: previous declaration of 'GC_is_heap_ptr' was here
 GC_API int GC_CALL GC_is_heap_ptr(const void *);
                    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
make[3]: *** [Makefile:3575: guile-guile.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory '/tmp/guile-2.2.4/libguile'

Analysis:

This appears to be a simple problem with the the function GC_is_heap_ptr declared in two different ways in two different files: /usr/local/include/gc/gc.h.156 and /tmp/guile/2.2.4/libguile/pairs.h. The first file declares it as "GC_API int GC_CALL GC_is_heap_ptr(const void *);", and the second as "static int
GC_is_heap_ptr (void *ptr)
{
  return GC_base (ptr) != NULL;
}
".

Proposed solution:

The obvious solution would be to surround the definition in libguile/pairs.h with a conditional #ifndef HAVE_GC_IS_HEAP_PTR, but i get the impression that libguile/pairs.h is auto-generated, so I might brake your code.  What would be your preferred solution?

With my best regards,
