README.md

Benz

Benz is a super tiny scheme interpreter intended to be embedded in other applications such as game engine and network server. It provides a subset language of R7RS with several useful extensions. By default, Benz just contains some C files and headers and this README file. In embedding, you only need to copy the files into the project and add include dir to the include path.

Originally, Benz used to be the core component of Picrin Scheme. They are currently maintained at separate repositories.

Example

#include <stdio.h>

#include "picrin.h"

/* Simple REPL program */

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  pic_state *pic;
  pic_value expr;

  pic = pic_open(argc, argv, NULL);

  while (1) {
    printf("> ");

    expr = pic_read(pic, pic_stdin(pic));

    if (pic_eof_p(expr)) {
      break;
    }

    pic_printf(pic, "~s\n", pic_eval(pic, expr, pic->lib));
  }

  pic_close(pic);

  return 0;
}

More Example

Function binding is also easy. pic_defun defines a scheme procedure converting from a C function. In the native function, callee arguments can be taken with pic_get_args. pic_get_args gets arguments according to the format string. If actual arguments does not match a number or incompatible types, it will raise an exception.

#include "picrin.h"

int fact(int i) {
  return i == 1 ? 1 : i * fact(i - 1);
}

pic_value factorial(pic_state *pic) {
  int i;

  pic_get_args(pic, "i", &i);

  return pic_int_value(fact(i));
}

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  pic_state *pic = pic_open(argc, argv, NULL);

  pic_defun(pic, "fact", factorial); /* define fact procedure */

  pic_load_cstr(pic, "(display (fact 10))");

  pic_close(pic);

  return 0;
}

Language

All procedures and syntaces are exported from a single library named (picrin base). The complete list is found at https://gist.github.com/wasabiz/344d802a2340d1f734b7 .

call/cc

Full continuation has many problems in embbeding into applications. By default, Benz's call/cc operator does not support continuation that can handle re-entering (it only supports escape continuations). To remove this restriction, please use an add-on provided from Picrin Scheme's repository.

Strings

Benz utilize rope data structure to implement string type. Thanks to the implementation, string-append is guaranteed to be done in a constant time (so do string-copy, when ascii-only mode is enabled). In return for that, strings in benz are immutable by default. It does not provide mutation API (string-set!, string-copy! and string-fill! in R7RS). This restriction can be also removed with an add-on in Picrin Scheme's repository.
