SCM: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 06:10, 26 February 2020

An open source multi-platform implementation of Scheme written in C, SCM is an interpreter. It includes a Scheme-to-C translator called Hobbit that generates C files which can be linked with the SCM executable. The program is primarily developed on Linux and Microsoft Windows these days but it has support in the source for the Amiga, DOS, the Atari ST, MacOS, OS/2, NOS/VE, Unicos and VMS, Unix and uses mostly common I/O libraries so should be a fairly easy port to other operating systems that have some POSIX compatibility.

Versions

5f2 (2015-07-15)
5f3 (2020-02-16)

Prerequisites

SLIB Portable Scheme Library

Known issues: The 5fx branch appears no longer to compile under or for DOS even though there is supposedly explicit support for it.

Publications

Richard Kelsey, William Clinger and Jonathan Rees (Editors): Revised(5) Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme - Higher-Order and Symbolic Computation Volume 11, Issue 1, August 1998

SCM conforms to this standard and the author has explicitly stated that he will not release a version conforming to Revised(6) due to incompatibilities.

Licence

Open source software released under the LGPL v3.
