If {{RETURNTYPE}} is given, then the result will be converted properly and returned, otherwise {{void}} is assumed. The type/argument lists may also be literal Scheme data or expressions of the form {{(quote LITERAL)}} or {{(location ...)}} - in this case the arguments are converted according to the type of the literal or are treated as a {{c-pointer}}, respectively. Booleans, characters, numbers, strings, SRFI-4 number vectors and symbols are converted, all other data is passed as being of type {{scheme-object}}. Callbacks into Scheme are not allowed inside the invoked foreign code. This macro expands into one of the {{foreign-lambda*}}, {{foreign-code}} or {{foreign-value}} forms. == Usage <enscript language=scheme> (import dollar) </enscript> == Examples <enscript language=scheme> ($ printf "%d times Hello, %s!\n" 1000 "world") (define f 99.2) (let-location ((n double)) (let ((f ($ double modf (double f) (location n)))) (cons n f) ) ) </enscript> == Authors [[/users/felix winkelmann]] and [[/users/kon lovett|kon lovett]] == Repository This egg is hosted on the CHICKEN Subversion repository: [[https://anonymous@code.call-cc.org/svn/chicken-eggs/release/5/dollar|https://anonymous@code.call-cc.org/svn/chicken-eggs/release/5/dollar]] If you want to check out the source code repository of this egg and you are not familiar with Subversion, see [[/egg-svn-checkout|this page]]. == Version history ; 3.0.0 : ported to CHICKEN 5 ; 2.0.4 : removed some unused code and dependency on setup-helper, allows import-only semantics, minor documentation fixes, added test-case ; 2.0.3 : Fixed identifier incompatible with symbol quoting.
