stalin
Introduction
This is a port of the Stalin to CHICKEN, that is, Stalin hosted on the CHICKEN Scheme system. Stalin compiles a subset of R4RS Scheme to C code, which can subsequently be compiled to highly efficient self-contained executables.
Requirements
libgc, the Boehm garbage collector must be installed and available in your linker path.
Usage
stalin [OPTION ...] FILENAME
See the Stalin manual for information about the available command line options and general usage information.
Notes
- On some systems (notably debian-based Linux), the libgc headers are not in the default location. Add -copt -I/usr/include/gc to the invocation of stalin (or in whatever path gc.h is location) to set the proper include path
- On some systems libgc requires libdl, add -copt -ldl in this case.
Extensions
The following extensions have been added to this version of stalin:
- support for \n (newline), \r (carriage return), \t (tab) and \e (escape) character sequences in string literals
- SRFI-0 (cond-expand) The feature identifiers stalin, srfi-0 and stalin are defined.
Limitations
- The compiler is extremely slow
- The Xlib and OpenGL interfaces provided with the original Stalin are not available
