Changes:
Version 1.39
Drew Yao fixed buffer overflow problems in mk_sharp_const.
Version 1.38
Interim release until the rewrite, mostly incorporating modifications from
Kevin Cozens. Small addition for Cygwin in the makefile, and modifications
by Andrew Guenther for Apple platforms.
Version 1.37
Joe Buehler submitted reserve_cells.
Version 1.36
Joe Buehler fixed a patch in the allocator.
Alexander Shendi moved the comment handling in the scanner, which
fixed an obscure bug for which Mike E had provided a patch as well.
Kevin Cozens has submitted some fixes and modifications which have not
been incorporated yet in their entirety.
Version 1.35
Todd Showalter discovered that the number of free cells reported
after GC was incorrect, which could also cause unnecessary allocations.
Version 1.34
Long missing version. Lots of bugfixes have accumulated in my email, so
I had to start using them. In this version, Keenan Pepper has submitted
a bugfix for the string comparison library procedure, Wouter Boeke
modified some code that was casting to the wrong type and crashed on
some machines, "SheppardCo" submitted a replacement "modulo" code and
Scott Fenton submitted lots of corrections that shut up some compiler
warnings. Brian Maher submitted instructions on how to build on OS-X.
I have to dig deeper into my mailbox and find earlier emails, too.
Additional pkgsrc fix: use BSD_INSTALL_LIB to install libraries.
Version 1.33
Charles Hayden fixed a nasty GC bug of the new stack frame, while in
the process of porting TinyScheme to C++. He also submitted other
changes, and other people also had comments or requests, but the GC
bug was so important that this version is put through the door to
correct it.
Version 1.32
Stephen Gildea put some quality time on TinyScheme again, and made
a whole lot of changes to the interpreter that made it noticeably
faster.
interpreter, into the NetBSD Packages Collection.
TinyScheme is a lightweight Scheme interpreter that implements as
large a subset of R5RS as was possible without getting very large and
complicated. It is meant to be used as an embedded scripting
interpreter for other programs. As such, it does not offer IDEs or
extensive toolkits although it does sport a small top-level loop,
included conditionally. A lot of functionality in TinyScheme is
included conditionally, to allow developers freedom in balancing
features and footprint.
As an embedded interpreter, it allows multiple interpreter states to
coexist in the same program, without any interference between them.
Programmatically, foreign functions in C can be added and values can
be defined in the Scheme environment. Being quite a small program, it
is easy to comprehend, get to grips with, and use.
