The Guile 1.6 manual is still on-line here: http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/docs/docs-1.6/guile-ref/index.html ‘scm_i_makinum’ is basically ‘scm_from_int’. ‘scm_wta’ raises an error or a wrong-type-arg error (see libguile/deprecated.c in Guile 2.0.) > 2.

If all the memory associated with the SMOB is allocated with one of the ‘scm_gc’ functions, then ‘scm_smob_free’ and similar can all be removed. Likewise, SMOB ‘mark’ functions can be dismissed in that case (info "(guile) Memory Blocks"). HTH, Ludo’.
