Scheme-to-C
Scheme->C
<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.
