Re: scm_with_continuation_barrier returning #f on throws ?

This statement is ill-formed, because you shouldn't have references to
SCM objects outside of Guile. This is indicated by scm_with_guile's
return value, which is void* and not SCM.

The docs about scm_with_continuation_barrier are correct; it does indeed
return #f on a throw. But scm_with_guile uses
scm_c_with_continuation_barrier, which is different, because it returns
a C value, a void*. The error case there has it return NULL.

Regards,

Andy
