Outdated egg!

This is an egg for CHICKEN 4, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for the CHICKEN 5 version of this egg, if it exists.

If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the egg index. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN.

Description

Allows compiled C inside interpreter scripts.

This extension library provides a simple macro for using C code in the Chicken interpreter (csi). The program text is embedded into a thin Scheme wrapper and compiled on the fly into a dynamically loadable library. A local directory caches the compiled code and subsequent definitions of the same source text will load the already compiled library from the cache.

Callbacks back into Scheme are not supported.

[syntax] (inline STRING [OPTIONS])

Expands into a call of inline-compile and compiles the code given in STRING. If encountered in compiled code, then this form will directly expand into a (bind* ...) form, effectively embedding the inline code in the compiled file (so no run-time compilation is needed). The optional string argument OPTIONS may contain additional compilation parameters (these are ignored, when inline is used in compiled code).

(inline "int foo(int n) { return(n * 2); }") 

  ==> (inline-compile "int foo(int n) { return(n * 2); }") ; when interpreted
  ==> (bind*                                             ; when compiled
        "int foo(int n) { return(n * 2); }")

[procedure] (inline-compile STRING [OPTIONS])

Compiles the C source code in STRING dynamically. If a compiled library with the same source text is currently loaded (and has been cached), then nothing is done. If it is not loaded, the inline cache is consulted, whether a compiled file for the same text is stored, and, if it is, it's loaded and the procedure is returned. If no such file exists, the compiler (``csc'') is invoked to create a compiled library (with any extra options passed in OPTIONS), which is stored in the cache. The code will be compiled as if wrapped in #>! ... <#. Note that you will have to shield #include forms, if you don't want them to be processed by the FFI parser:

(inline #<<EOF
#ifndef CHICKEN
#include "gd.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#endif

void genimages(int w, int h) {
  gdImagePtr im;
  FILE *pngout, *jpegout;
  int black;
  int white;

  im = gdImageCreate(w, h);
  black = gdImageColorAllocate(im, 0, 0, 0);	
  white = gdImageColorAllocate(im, 255, 255, 255);	
  gdImageLine(im, 0, 0, w - 1, h - 1, white);	
  pngout = fopen("test.png", "wb");
  jpegout = fopen("test.jpg", "wb");
  gdImagePng(im, pngout);
  gdImageJpeg(im, jpegout, -1);
  fclose(pngout);
  fclose(jpegout);
  gdImageDestroy(im);
}
EOF
"-L -lgd -L -lpng -L -lz -L -ljpeg -L -lfreetype"
)

(genimages 64 64)

[parameter] inline-cache

Holds the name of the directory which is used as a cache for compiled code and defaults to ./.cache.

Changelog
