...of PROTECT are in places where R_PPStack, etc. aren't visible. Instead, one can redefine them at the end of Defn.h, where these variables are declared. That alone also doesn't work, however, because some references don't work at link time. So instead I redefine them in Defn.h only if USE_FAST_PROTECT_MACROS is defined. I define this before including Defn.h in all the .c files in the main directory. Another complication is that the PROTECT macro no longer returns its argument. One can avoid this by writing it another way, but this then results in its argument being referenced in two places (though...

...est-parens.r In the parens part of test-parens.r, the speedup is about 9%. patch-protect Speeds up numerous operations by making PROTECT, UNPROTECT, etc. be mostly macros in the files in src/main. This takes effect only for files that include Defn.h after defining the symbol USE_FAST_PROTECT_MACROS. With these macros, code of the form v = PROTECT(...) must be replaced by PROTECT(v = ...). Relevant timing test scripts: all of them, but will look at test-em.r On test-em.r, the speedup from this patch is about 9%. patch-save-alloc Speeds up some binary and unary arithme...
