;; Produce in find-gc-unsafe-list the set of all functions that may invoke GC.
;; This expects the Emacs sources to live in find-gc-source-directory.

;;; Code:

(defvar find-gc-unsafe-list nil

(defvar find-gc-source-directory
  (file-name-as-directory (expand-file-name "src" source-directory))
  "Directory containing Emacs C sources.")

(defvar find-gc-subrs-callers nil
  "Alist of users of subrs, from GC testing.
Each entry has the form (FUNCTION . FUNCTIONS-THAT-CALL-IT).")

(defvar find-gc-subrs-called nil
  "Alist of subrs called, in GC testing.
Each entry has the form (FUNCTION . FUNCTIONS-IT-CALLS).")


;; Functions on this list are safe, even if they appear to be able
;; to call the target.
