Marc,
Also, do you have any idea when the bug was introduced, do you think it was after or before 4.7.0?
Thanks

Marc,
Can you please give us a more exact definition of this bug - does it only apply when returning a pointered c-define-type type from inlined C code to Scheme, or does it affect inlined code returning a ___SCMOBJ too?
Also if you could provide a patch (as this is the only severe Gambit bug that has been for like 2-3 years) would be great.
Thanks!

There appears to be a bug in the FFI when using a c-lambda with inline code that returns a foreign object. So for now you will have to define a C function that does the work and use the name of that function in the c-lambda. In other words:
(c-declare #<<c-declare-end
My indirect_My_star(My *ptr) { return *ptr; }
c-declare-end )
(define *->My (c-lambda (My*/nonnull) My "indirect_My_star"))

Hello,
I'm experiencing regular segfaults on OSX 10.9.5, with the sample code
shown below.
Tested with Gambit 4.8.1 + GCC 4.9 and with packaged Gambit 4.7.3 +
LLVM.
No issue at all on Linux, GCC 4.8, with both Gambit 4.2.8 and Gambit
4.8.2.
Of course I may be doing something silly.
A simple struct, "My" is generated inside a c procedure, then passed
multiple times to another c-lambda procedure (*->My).
It's a simplified model of the code produced by a FFI SDL2 Library I'm
using.
The doc says that the foreign object (xoxo in the example) should not
be released while the scheme code is still referencing it.
I am seeing the refcount going wildly in the negative, one for each
call to *->My
The only way -- clumsy -- I have found to avoid this is to increment
the reference count with ___addref_rc ( not shown here ).
What's wrong here? Thanks!
