Scheme in One Day (SIOD)

RELEASED: 3.6.3 Production (Apr 27, 2008)

Sun, 27 Apr 2008 17:51:53 GMT

The default heap size raised to values that are reasonable
for computers people buy today, rather than what was available
in 1988 when SIOD was first used. This is especially useful
for commands such as snapshot-dir.exe and snapshot-compare.exe.

Built using source code from change set 11049.

error handling in find-files so that it will ignore folders it cannot open. adjust default heap to be consistent with useful size for computers that people buy today. windows installer use UpgradeCode so that minor releases can be layered on top of each other.

CLOSED ISSUE: encorporate the hostile foreign-function interface

publius — Mon, 14 May 2007 16:58:42 GMT

Brian Beckman published a "Hostile Foreign-Function" interface for SIOD in 1999. Encorporate this into the winsiod port here. reference. http://www.angelfire.com/wa/brianbec/siodffi.html

CREATED ISSUE: build problems, siodffi failure on other computers

publius — Mon, 14 May 2007 16:49:34 GMT

require-so 'RealLoad.dll gets an error, with errobj detail providing "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. " If you try to start the DlgSIOD.exe you get the same error message. The release 3.6.2 was compiled on a machine running Microsoft Windows XP Pro, with Visual Studio 2005 C++ Express edition and the "Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2" Note that RealLoad.dll and DlgSIOD.exe use C++. If you go to a machine with Visual Studio 2003 on it, run the BUILD.BAT and then copy all dlls and exe from the Release folder up one level to the SIOD folder, then things work ok. So this might be a problem from dll hell.

Project Description
Scheme in One Day (SIOD) the small scheme interpreter with the conservative garbage collector. Even though this is an interpreter it comes with a compiler that will convert Scheme language source files into windows EXE files using a classic bootstrap trampoline technique. This has proven very useful for hiding the fact that one is programming in a lisp dialect.

Project Home Page

This project started out as a copy of the SIOD port to windows circa 1997,
which was updated to work in the latest Visual Studio Express
edition, including a windows installer (MSI) which is able to install executables, documentation, short-cuts and source code. Some of the user-contributed code that has collected over the last 15 years has been added to the releases.

There will be a managed C code port in the future. Of course this must start out with a renaming of all c files to cpp, so they are treated as C++.

The online documentation is still here: http://alum.mit.edu/www/gjc/siod.html

CREATED ISSUE: compare against siod.tgz ports bring in fixes

publius — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 21:21:45 GMT

The siod.tgz represents code for the other non-windows ports. Some files are duplicated and others have been forked, with some work taking place in Solaris and Linux. This can be downloaded from http://alum.mit.edu/www/gjc/siod.html and compared against the sources on codeplex. Review all differences and make sure that no bug fixes or features have gone missing in the winsiod version.

CREATED ISSUE: move old platform-specific files to archive folders

publius — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 21:21:44 GMT

The source code still has files in it that are needed only for some of the more obscure platforms such as the classic macintosh, vax and alpha vms, amiga, and ms-dos. Move this code to some archive folders.
