/* Unix #! shell scripts are not recursive. The interpreter you specify
|
|
** on the #! line cannot itself be a shell script. This is a problem for
|
|
** the Scheme shell, since it is implemented as a heap image executed
|
|
** by the Scheme 48 vm. This means that users cannot write shell scripts
|
|
** of the form:
|
|
** #!/usr/local/bin/scsh -s
|
|
** !#
|
|
** ...Scheme code goes here...
|
|
**
|
|
** They must instead write:
|
|
** #!/usr/local/lib/scsh/scshvm \
|
|
** -o /usr/local/lib/scsh/scshvm -i /usr/local/lib/scsh/scsh.image -s
|
|
** ...Scheme code goes here...
|
|
**
|
|
** This is gruesome and probably confusing to novices.
|
|
**
|
|
** What we do is have this tiny little stub program play the role of scsh.
|
|
** It is compiled to a real Unix binary, but when it is executed, it simply
|
|
** execs the scsh virtual machine, passing it an argv composed of
|
|
** { "-o" "scshvm" "-i" "scsh.image"}
|
|
** prepended to whatever argv it was given. Now you can write shell scripts
|
|
** with
|
|
** #!/usr/local/bin/scsh -s
|
|
** triggers.
|
|
**
|
|
** There are two downsides to doing things this way.
|
|
** 1. You pay an extra exec(2) at startup time.
|
|
** And scsh starts up slow enough as it is.
|
|
** 2. You cannot specify extra arguments for the vm this way. The most
|
|
** important one you might want to specify is the heap size arg, -h.
