Scheme-to-C definition
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,

88000 systems. The earlier 01nov91 version runs on
