; To load the VM into Scheme 48:
; ,exec ,load load-vm.scm
;
; You must have already loaded Pre-Scheme.
;
; Then, for example,
1999-09-23 10:36:25 -04:00
; (start-vm "=scheme48/../../build/initial.image" 4000000 20000 '#())
1999-09-14 08:45:02 -04:00
; in the user package will start up the VM with the initial image.
; Be patient. It will take a while. Running the initial image as
; above on a SGI Indy (100 mhz R4000) it took over 70 minutes to
; get the - prompt. scheme48.image starts up faster as it does little
; in the way of initialization. See below for a way to build a small
; image that will start up quickly.
;
; You will need to have a large heap to start with. -h 12000000 works
; for loading the initial image in version 0.35, smaller heaps may also
; work.
;
; To send input to the VM, do the following:
;
; Breakpoint: Waiting
; 1> ,in interpreter (set! s48-*pending-events?* #t)
; 1> ,proceed
; (+ 2 3) ; this will be read by the loaded VM
; Call to (schedule-interrupt 200) ; output noise
; Call to (schedule-interrupt 200)
; Call to (schedule-interrupt 200)
; 5 ; the answer
; > Call to (schedule-interrupt 200) ; prompt by the loaded S48
;
; Breakpoint: Waiting
; 1> ; prompt by the base S48
;
; There can't be a pause between the `,proceed 0' and the input for
; the loaded VM. This is easy to accomplish running under Emacs.
; If there is a pause you will hit the breakpoint again and the
; `(+ 2 3)' or whatever will be read by the base system.
;
; It is easier to debug changes to the VM using images smaller than
; the usual build/initial.image and scheme48.image. What I usually
; do is modify scheme/debug/tiny.scm so that it runs the code I want
; to test and then build scheme/debug/tiny.image. The version that
; comes with the system prints `Hello' and the first command argument,
; if any, then reads a line from standard input and prints it to
; standard output. The image file is less than 12k bytes in size so
; it starts up much faster than the larger images. Here is a transcript:
;
; % make scheme/debug/tiny.image
; (echo ',batch' && echo ',bench on'; \
; echo \(load-configuration \"scheme/debug/tiny-packages.scm\"\); \
; echo \(link-simple-system \'\(scheme/debug tiny\) \'start tiny-system\)) \
; | ./scheme48vm -h 5000000 -i build/linker.image
; Welcome to Scheme 48 0.45 (suspended image).
