Hi,
The patch below is an attempt to clean up the GC by limiting the use of
global variables for statistics. IMO it makes it easier to read the
code. Furthermore, it's also easier to track the exact number of cells
swept/collected at each stage.
It also fixes (unless I'm mistaken!) the computation of the number of
cells swept/collected in `scm_i_sweep_some_cards ()'.
Thanks,
Ludovic.

* libguile/gc-segment.c (scm_i_sweep_some_cards): Take two more
arguments. Don't refer to SCM_GC_CELLS_COLLECTED and
SCM_CELLS_ALLOCATED. If SEG->FIRST_TIME, let CELLS_COLLECTED as zero.
Take into account SEG->SPAN when computing CELLS_SWEPT.
(scm_i_sweep_segment): Take two more arguments, similarly.
(scm_i_sweep_all_segments): Likewise.
(scm_i_sweep_some_segments): Likewise.
(scm_i_adjust_min_yield): Change the way MIN_CELLS is computed: do not
refer to SCM_GC_CELLS_COLLECTED.
* libguile/gc-freelist.c (scm_i_adjust_min_yield): Take two more
arguments: CELLS_COLLECTED and CELLS_SWEPT.
Change the way DELTA is collected: don't take into account
SCM_GC_CELLS_COLLECTED_1, only CELLS_COLLECTED.
* libguile/gc-malloc.c (scm_realloc): Pass extra arguments, namely
CELLS_COLLECTED and CELLS_SWEPT, to `scm_i_sweep_all_segments ()'.
* libguile/gc.c (gc_start_stats): Updated accordingly.
(gc_end_stats): Take two additional arguments: CELLS_COLLECTED and
CELLS_SWEPT. Decrement SCM_CELLS_ALLOCATED after calls to
`scm_i_sweep_* ()'.
(scm_gc_for_newcell): Updated callers of `scm_i_sweep_*'.
Decrement SCM_CELLS_ALLOCATED.
(scm_i_gc): Likewise.
* libguile/private-gc.h: Updated function prototypes accordingly.
