Hello!
I merged `master' in the `boehm-demers-weiser-gc' branch yesterday,
which hadn't been done since before 1.9.0 (no, you won't see the 4 MiB+
commit message on `guile-commits'...).
So now is a good time to test it and report back! It requires libgc 7.1
or later, which isn't packaged in Debi

OK. If the comparison is modified to become
35 #define
Hello,
unfortunately that code still fails into libguile/print.c
Infact, a signed char just arrives to 127 and the " < 128" causes:
../../guile-git/libguile/print.c:1101: warning: comparison is always true due
to limited range of data type

I think the problem is that the routine in question is fundamentally
written to assume a signed input. Perhaps there should be an unsigned
version that takes unsigned chars, and perhaps guile should explicit
declare characters as one or the other. Or perhaps just always cast to
unsigned char - i
