For the reasoning behind this decision, -see @xref{GH deprecation}. The GH interface will continue to be -supported for the 1.6.x and 1.8.x release series, but will be dropped -thereafter, so developers are encouraged to switch progressively to the -scm interface. The last chapter in this part of the manual (@pxref{GH}) -documents both how to use GH and how to switch from GH to scm. - -The documentation of the scm interface is currently a bit confused, but -the situation should improve rapidly once the 1.6.0 release is out. The -plan is to refocus the bulk of Part II, currently ``Guile Scheme'', as -the ``Guile API Reference'' so that it covers both Scheme and C -interfaces. (This makes sense because almost all of Guile's primitive -procedures on the Scheme level --- e.g. @code{memq} --- are also -available as C level primitives in the scm interface --- -e.g. @code{scm_memq}.) There will then remain a certain amount of -Scheme-specific (such as the ``Basic Ideas'' chapter) and C-specific -documentation (such as SMOB usage and interaction with the garbage -collector) to collect into corresponding chapters. |
