Hello,
scm->pointer takes a Scheme value and returns a Scheme value which is a
foreign pointer to the Scheme value. It has been in Guile since 2.0 I
think.
scm_to_pointer takes a Scheme value which is a foreign pointer, and
unpacks that foregin pointer as a void*.
scm_to_pointer is a new interface in master that is not in 2.0.5, and
that is inconsistent with scm->pointer / scm_scm_to_pointer. This
should be fixed. Otherwise it's impossible to document in any sane
fashion.
Suggestion: change scm_to_pointer to SCM_POINTER_VALUE. WDYT?
Andy
