language A
Scheme compiler written in
C that emits C and is embeddable in C. Scheme-to-C was written by Joel Bartlett of Digital Western Research Laboratory. Version 15mar93 translates a superset of Revised**4 Scheme to C that is then compiled by the
native C compiler for the target machine. This design results in a portable system that allows either stand-alone Scheme programs or programs written in both compiled and interpreted Scheme and other languages. It supports "expansion passing style"
macros, foreign function calls,
records, and interfaces to
Xlib (
Ezd and Scix).
Scheme-to-C runs on
VAX,
ULTRIX,
DECstation, Alpha AXP
OSF/1,
Windows 3.1,
Apple Macintosh 7.1, HP 9000/300, HP 9000/700, Sony News,
SGI Iris and
Harris Nighthawk, and other
Unix-like
88000 systems. The earlier 01nov91 version runs on
Amiga,
SunOS,
NeXT, and
Apollo systems.
