Re: marking, freeing, permanent SCM var

This is probably an FAQ, but I cannot find a reference to it in the mailing
list archive.  I found this in the old one:

   This used to be part of snapshots a while back. I think it's up to
   date.
   See the section called "Defining New Types (Smobs)".

but it doesn't really answer my question.

Are all Guile/SCM objects freed when scm_boot_guile() returns?

I would like to have my smobs freed when the program exits.  I need to know
if all the memory I've allocated has been freed at exit time, and I can
only do that if my smob's free-function is called.

Thanks.
