CHICKEN is a Scheme-to-C compiler supporting most of the language
|
|
features as defined in the Revised^5 Report on Scheme. CHICKEN
|
|
generates quite portable C code, and files compiled by it (including
|
|
itself) should work without any changes on most platforms.
|
|
|
|
The whole package is distributed under a BSD license and as such free
|
|
to use and modify as long as you adhere to its terms (see the manual).
|
|
Linkage to C modules and C-library functions is straightforward, so
|
|
it's easy to access C from Scheme. Compiled code can be embedded into
|
|
existing C programs without problems. The generated code supports
|
|
full tail-recursion, first-class continuations, multiple values and
|
|
dynamic-wind.
