◊ VSCM
VSCM
A highly portable implementation of {Scheme}, written in {ANSI
C} and {Scheme}. VSCM features exception and interrupt
handling, executable portable memory images, {coroutine}s and
{continuation}s with multiple arguments.
Portability is achieved by exclusive use of legal ANSI C
features -- as opposed to a plethora of #ifdef's to adjust to
various system peculiarities. (Of course, in real life ANSI C
doesn't guarantee portability per se, because there are too
many systems with broken compilers or broken libraries.)
Version II Nov9 by Matthias Blume
includes {run-time support} and a {bytecode compiler}. It
conforms to R4RS and IEEE P1178 and runs on {Unix} and
{Macintosh}. It is actively developed.
