|
|
|
|
<p>In addition to keeping track of types, the type machinery also locates
|
|
the global variables (<em>roots</em>) that the garbage collector starts
|
|
at. Roots must be declared using one of the following syntaxes:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> <code>extern GTY(([<var>options</var>])) <var>type</var> <var>name</var>;</code>
|
|
</li><li> <code>static GTY(([<var>options</var>])) <var>type</var> <var>name</var>;</code>
|
|
</li></ul>
|
|
<p>The syntax
|
|
</p><ul>
|
|
<li> <code>GTY(([<var>options</var>])) <var>type</var> <var>name</var>;</code>
|
|
</li></ul>
|
|
<p>is <em>not</em> accepted. There should be an <code>extern</code> declaration
|
|
of such a variable in a header somewhere—mark that, not the
|
|
definition. Or, if the variable is only used in one file, make it
|
|
<code>static</code>.
