Hello!

Here the promised patches to obtain a workable Hobbit for Guile.

1) First, you need a correst version of equal?, which seems buggy in recents snapshots. So, replace file libguile/eq.c by the following, and recompile libguile:

2) Now apply the following diffs to file hobbit.scm from the hobbit4d release:

diff -C 2 ~/floppy/newhobbit.scm ~/src/gnu/Scheme/hobbit4d/scm/hobbit.scm

  	    (display-c #\;)
  	    (display-c #\}) ))))



3) Remove from your compiling path existing scmhob.h files (there is one in the libguile directory and of course in the hobbit4d directory), and use the following:

#include 

/* Specifique a hobbit */
#define GLOBAL(x) (*(x))
#define VECTOR_SET(v,k,o) (SCM_VELTS(v)[((long)SCM_INUM(k))] = o)
#define VECTOR_REF(v,k) (SCM_VELTS(v)[((long)SCM_INUM(k))])
#define VECTOR_LENGTH(v)  SCM_MAKINUM(SCM_LENGTH(v))

/* Pourrait etre mis dans le noyau de hobbit */
/*#define vector_fill_excl_ scm_vector_fill_x*/

/* Passage scm --> guile */
#define EOL SCM_EOL
#define CAR SCM_CAR
#define CDR SCM_CDR
#define NFALSEP SCM_NFALSEP
#define BOOL_F SCM_BOOL_F
#define BOOL_T SCM_BOOL_T
#define MAKINUM SCM_MAKINUM
#define listofnull scm_listofnull
#define tc7_subr_1 scm_tc7_subr_1
#define tc7_subr_2 scm_tc7_subr_2
#define tc7_subr_3 scm_tc7_subr_3
#define tc7_lsubr scm_tc7_lsubr
#define apply scm_apply
#define cons scm_cons
#define divide scm_divide
#define eqp scm_eq_p
#define evenp scm_even_p
#define greaterp scm_gr_p
#define lessp scm_less_p
#define lremainder scm_remainder
#define makrect scm_make_rectangular
#define product scm_product
#define sum scm_sum
#define difference scm_difference
#define intern scm_intern
#define make_subr scm_make_subr
#define make_vector(vec,fill) scm_make_vector((vec),(fill),SCM_BOOL_F)
#define absval scm_magnitude
#define string2number scm_string_to_number
#define makfromstr(x,y) scm_makfromstr((x),(y),0)
#define list_ref scm_list_ref

IMPORTANT!!!

This above file scmhob.h was created from an empty version by correcting the compiler and linker errors which resulted in compiling some numerical tests programs. IT IS FAR FROM COMPLETE. You will certainly need to add more #define. File libguile/scmhob.h will give you a taste of the size of a complete scmhob.h.

4) To compile foo.scm, run the guile interpreter, switch to module (ice-9 slib) and load hobbit.scm. Then run (hobbit "foo.scm"). If all went well, files foo.c and foo.h are created.

Then compile foo.c, and make sure foo.h and scmhob.h are in the search path. You can then link the resulting foo.o in the guile interpreter or in a standalone executable. You must of course call scm_init_foo() during initialization.

And a remark to conclude: the above procedure will work as long as the semantic of the internal Guile functions, the GC mechanisms and probably some other aspects of Guile stay similar to these of SCM. If this is no more the case, deep interventions on hobbit.scm will be necessary.
