Picrin Build Status

Picrin is a lightweight scheme implementation intended to comply with full R7RS specification. Its code is written in pure C99 and does not requires any special external libraries installed on the platform.

Features

  • R7RS compatibility (but partial support)
  • reentrant design (all VM states are stored in single global state object)
  • bytecode interpreter (based on stack VM)
  • direct threaded VM
  • internal representation by nan-boxing
  • conservative call/cc implementation (users can freely interleave native stack with VM stack)
  • exact GC (simple mark and sweep, partially reference count is used as well)
  • string representation by rope data structure
  • support full set hygienic macro transformers, including implicit renaming macros
  • extended library syntax
  • advanced REPL support (multi-line input, etc)
  • tiny & portable library (all functions will be in libpicrin.so)

Documentation

See http://picrin.readthedocs.org/

Homepage

Currently picrin is hosted on Github. You can freely send a bug report or pull-request, and fork the repository.

IRC

There is a chat room on chat.freenode.org, channel #picrin.

How to use it

  • make Makefile

    Change directory to build then run cmake to create Makefile. Once Makefile is generated you can run make command to build picrin.

      $ cd build
  $ cmake ..

    Actually you don't necessarily need to move to build directory before running cmake (in that case $ cmake .), but I strongly recommend to follow above instruction.

  • build

    A built executable binary will be under bin/ directory and shared libraries under lib/.

      $ make

    If you are building picrin on other systems than x86_64, PIC_NAN_BOXING flag is automatically turned on (see include/picrin/config.h for detail).

  • install

    Just running make install, picrin library, headers, and runtime binary are install on your system, by default into /usr/local directory. You can change this value via ccmake.

      $ make install

  • run

    Before installing picrin, you can try picrin without breaking any of your system. Simply directly run the binary bin/picrin from terminal, or you can use make to execute it like this.

      $ make run

  • debug run

    If you execute cmake with debug flag -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug, it builds the binary with all debug flags enabled (PIC_GC_STRESS, VM_DEBUG, DEBUG).

      $ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..

Requirement

Picrin scheme depends on some external libraries to build the binary:

  • perl
  • lex (preferably, flex)
  • getopt
  • libedit (optional)
  • regex.h of POSIX.1 (optional)

Optional libraries are, if cmake detected them, automatically enabled. The compilation is tested only on Mac OSX and Ubuntu. I think (or hope) it'll be ok to compile and run on other operating systems such as Arch or Windows, but I don't guarantee :(
