+> }
+
+Usually you can get away without having this interlinked structure.
+One piece of information you need when exporting objects to scheme is
+the smob tag for your class. You might store this value (a long) into
+a class static variable, or a file static variable. I'll use a class
+static variable in this example.
+
+I typically use code that works like this (untested code ahead):
+
+class Foo_class {
+ static long *Foo_smob_tag;
+ SCM obj; // representation as a scheme object, description comes later
+}
+
+// call this once on startup
+void init_Foo_class {
+ static scm_smobfuns type_rec;
+
+ type_rec.mark = foo_mark;
+ type_rec.free = foo_free;
+ type_rec.print = foo_display;
+ type_rec.equalp = 0;
+ Foo_class::Foo_smob_tag = new int(scm_new_smob(type_rec));
+}
+
+When you want to export an object to scheme, you put a pointer to the
+object itself in the cdr of the cell, and the tag in the car of the
+cell. The code looks like this:
+
+// Is this a Foo?
+static int
+foo_p(SCM obj)
+{
+ return(SCM_NIMP(obj) && SCM_CAR(obj) == Foo_class::Foo_smob_tag);
+}
+
+// given a Scheme representation, return, a C++ representation
+static Foo_class *
+foo_unbox(SCM obj)
+{
+ return((Foo_class*)SCM_CDR(obj));
+}
+
+// the SCM representation of the object is stored inside itself
+// this will become useful when destructor gets called
+static SCM
+foo_box(Foo_class *foo)
+{
+ SCM_DEFER_INTS;
+ SCM_NEWCELL(foo->obj);
+ SCM_SETCAR(foo->obj, Foo_class::Foo_smob_tag);
+ SCM_SETCDR(foo->obj, (SCM)foo);
+ SCM_ALLOW_INTS;
+ return foo->obj;
+}
+
+> C++ determines life time, so what is the strategy?
+
+What happens now when the destructor gets called? Lets set the cdr to
+NULL, and then check for that in all of the primitive functions that
+use your smob. We'll call this notion 'live'; a scheme object is
+'live' if the C++ representation still exists, it's dead if the C++
+object is gone. You can still have references to dead objects in
+scheme code; it's just an error to use them. This idea is stolen from
+Emacs's handling of buffers ('buffer-live-p' and friends).
+
+Add another function, foo_live_p:
+
+static int
+foo_live_p(SCM obj)
+{
+ return(foo_p(obj) && SCM_CDR(obj) != NULL);
+}
+
+In you destructor, you need to do:
+
+~Foo_class()
+{
+ SCM_CDR(this->obj, NULL);
+}
+
+When writing new primitives, now just check foo_live_p().
+
+I hope the above helps,
+
