;;; Commentary:

;; 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.
;; It creates a temporary working directory /tmp/esrc.

;;; Code:

(defvar find-gc-unsafe-list nil
  "The list of unsafe functions is placed here by `find-gc-unsafe'.")

(defvar find-gc-source-directory)

(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.

;;; too many files there that were not actually compiled.  The
