14 ;;;; KLUDGE: The primitive objects here may look like self-contained
15 ;;;; definitions, but in general they're not. In particular, if you
16 ;;;; try to add a slot to them, beware of the following:
17 ;;;; * The GC scavenging code (and for all I know other GC code too)
18 ;;;; is not automatically generated from these layouts, but instead
19 ;;;; was hand-written to correspond to them. The offsets are
20 ;;;; automatically propagated into the GC scavenging code, but the
21 ;;;; existence of slots, and whether they should be scavenged, is
22 ;;;; not automatically propagated. Thus e.g. if you add a
23 ;;;; SIMPLE-FUN-DEBUG-INFO slot holding a tagged object which needs
24 ;;;; to be GCed, you need to tweak scav_code_header() and
25 ;;;; verify_space() in gencgc.c, and the corresponding code in gc.c.
26 ;;;; * Various code (e.g. STATIC-FSET in genesis.lisp) is hard-wired
27 ;;;; to know the name of the last slot of the object the code works
28 ;;;; with, and implicitly to know that the last slot is special (being
29 ;;;; the beginning of an arbitrary-length sequence of bytes following
30 ;;;; the fixed-layout slots).
