<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.
