<p>The Gambit programming system is a full implementation of the Scheme
language which conforms to the R4RS, R5RS and IEEE Scheme standards. It
consists of two main programs: <code>gsi</code>, the Gambit Scheme
interpreter, and <code>gsc</code>, the Gambit Scheme compiler.
</p>
<p>The Gambit
compiler generates portable C code, making the whole Gambit system and
the programs compiled with it easily portable to many computer
architectures for which a C compiler is available. With appropriate
declarations in the source code the executable programs generated by
the compiler run roughly as fast as equivalent C programs.
</p>
<p>For the most up to date information on Gambit and add-on packages
please check the Gambit web page at
<a href="http://gambitscheme.org">http://gambitscheme.org</a>. The web page has links to the
Gambit mailing list, the bug reporting system, and the source code
repository.

<a name="Accessing-the-system-files-1"></a>
<h2 class="section">1.1 Accessing the system files</h2>
<p>Files related to Gambit, such as executables, libraries and header files,
are stored in multiple <em>Gambit installation directories</em>.
Gambit may be installed on a system according to two different
installation models.
</p>
<p>In the first model there is a single directory where all the Gambit
installation directories are stored. This <em>central installation
directory</em> is typically <code>/usr/local/Gambit</code> under UNIX,
<code>/Library/Gambit</code> under Mac OS X and <code>C:/Program
Files/Gambit</code> under Microsoft Windows. This may have been
overridden when the system was built with the command ‘<samp>configure
--prefix=/my/Gambit</samp>’. If the system was built with the command
‘<samp>configure --enable-multiple-versions</samp>’ then the central
installation directory is <code><span class="roman"><i>prefix</i></span>/<span class="roman"><i>version</i></span></code>, where
<code><span class="roman"><i>version</i></span></code> is the system version string
(e.g. <code>v4.9.3</code> for Gambit v4.9.3). Moreover,
<code><span class="roman"><i>prefix</i></span>/current</code> will be a symbolic link which points to
the central installation directory. In this model, the Gambit
installation directory named <var>X</var> is simply the subdirectory
<var>X</var> of the central installation directory.
</p>
<p>In the second model some or all of the Gambit installation directories
are stored in installation specific directories. The location of
these directories is assigned when the system is built using the
command ‘<samp>configure --bindir=/my/bin --includedir=/my/include
--libdir=/my/lib</samp>’.
</p>
<p>The advantage of the first model is that it is easy to have multiple
versions of Gambit coexist and to remove all the files of a given
version. However, the second model may be necessary to conform to the
package installation conventions of some operating systems.
</p>
<p>Executable programs such as the interpreter <code>gsi</code> and compiler
<code>gsc</code> can be found in the <code>bin</code> installation directory.
Adding this directory to the <code>PATH</code> environment variable allows
these programs to be started by simply entering their name. This is
done automatically by the Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows installers.
</p>
<p>The runtime library is located in the <code>lib</code> installation
directory. When the system’s runtime library is built as a
shared-library (with the command ‘<samp>configure --enable-shared</samp>’) all
programs built with Gambit, including the interpreter and compiler,
need to find this library when they are executed and consequently this
directory must be in the path searched by the system for
shared-libraries. This path is normally specified through an
environment variable which is <code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> on most versions
of UNIX, <code>LIBPATH</code> on AIX, <code>SHLIB_PATH</code> on HPUX,
<code>DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> on Mac OS X, and <code>PATH</code> on Microsoft
Windows. If the shell is <code>sh</code>, the setting of the path can be
made for a single execution by prefixing the program name with the
environment variable assignment, as in:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample"><b></b>$ <b>LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/Gambit/lib gsi</b>
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>A similar problem exists with the Gambit header file <code>gambit.h</code>,
located in the <code>include</code> installation directory. This header
file is needed for compiling Scheme programs with the Gambit
compiler. When the C compiler is being called explicitly it may be
necessary to use a <code>-I<var><dir></var></code> command line option to
indicate where to find header files and a <code>-L<var><dir></var></code> command
line option to indicate where to find libraries.
</p>
<p>Access to both of these files can be simplified by creating a link to
them in the appropriate system directories (special privileges may
however be required):
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample"><b></b>$ <b>ln -s /usr/local/Gambit/lib/libgambit.a /usr/lib</b> <span class="roman"><i># name may vary</i></span>
$ <b>ln -s /usr/local/Gambit/include/gambit.h /usr/include</b>
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>Alternatively these files can be copied or linked in the directory
where the C compiler is invoked (this requires no special privileges).
</p>
<p>Another approach is to set some environment variables which
are used to tell the C compiler where to find header files
and libraries. For example, the following settings can be
used for the <code>gcc</code> C compiler:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample"><b></b>$ <b>export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/Gambit/lib</b>
$ <b>export CPATH=/usr/local/Gambit/include</b>
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>Note that this may have been done by the installation process. In
particular, the Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows prebuilt installers set
up the environment so that the <code>gcc</code> compiler finds these files
automatically.

<p>The interpreter is executed in <em>interactive mode</em> when no file or
‘<samp>-</samp>’ or ‘<samp>-e</samp>’ option is given on the command line. Otherwise
the interpreter is executed in <em>batch mode</em>. The ‘<samp>-i</samp>’ option
is ignored by the interpreter. The initialization file will be

<h2 class="section">2.1 Interactive mode</h2>
<p>In interactive mode a read-eval-print loop (REPL) is started for the
user to interact with the interpreter. At each iteration of this loop
the interpreter displays a prompt, reads a command and executes it.
The commands can be expressions to evaluate (the typical case)
or special commands related to debugging, for example ‘<samp>,q</samp>’ to
terminate the process (for a complete list of commands see
<a href="#Debugging">Debugging</a>). Most commands produce some output, such as the
value or error message resulting from an evaluation.
</p>
<p>The input and output of the interaction is done on the
<em>interaction channel</em>. The interaction channel can be specified
through the runtime options but if none is specified the system uses a
reasonable default that depends on the system’s configuration. When
the system’s runtime library was built with support for GUIDE, the
Gambit Universal IDE (with the command ‘<samp>configure
--enable-guide</samp>’) the interaction channel corresponds to the
<em>console window</em> of the primordial thread (for details see
<a href="#GUIDE">GUIDE</a>), otherwise the interaction channel is the user’s
<em>console</em>, also known as the <em>controlling terminal</em> in the
UNIX world. When the REPL starts, the ports associated with
‘<samp>(current-input-port)</samp>’, ‘<samp>(current-output-port)</samp>’ and
‘<samp>(current-error-port)</samp>’ all refer to the interaction channel.
</p>
<p>Expressions are evaluated in the global <em>interaction environment</em>.
The interpreter adds to this environment any definition entered using
the <code>define</code> and <code>define-macro</code>
special forms. Once the evaluation of an expression is completed, the
value or values resulting from the evaluation are output to the
interaction channel by the pretty printer. The special “void”
object is not output. This object is returned by most procedures and
special forms which the Scheme standard defines as returning an
unspecified value (e.g. <code>write</code>, <code>set!</code>, <code>define</code>).
</p>
<p>Here is a sample interaction with <code>gsi</code>:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample">$ <b>gsi</b>

<h2 class="section">2.2 Batch mode</h2>
<p>In batch mode the command line arguments denote files to be loaded,
REPL interactions to start (‘<samp>-</samp>’ option), and expressions to be
evaluated (‘<samp>-e</samp>’ option). Note that the ‘<samp>-</samp>’ and ‘<samp>-e</samp>’
options can be interspersed with the files on the command line and can
occur multiple times. The interpreter processes the command line
arguments from left to right, loading files with the <code>load</code>
procedure and evaluating expressions with the <code>eval</code> procedure in
the global interaction environment. After this processing the
interpreter exits.
</p>
<p>When the file name has no extension the <code>load</code> procedure first
attempts to load the file with no extension as a Scheme source file.
If that file doesn’t exist it will search for both a source file and
an object file. The object file’s name is obtained by adding to the
file name a ‘<samp>.o<var>n</var></samp>’ extension with the highest consecutive
version number starting with 1. The source file’s name is obtained by
adding to the file name the file extensions ‘<samp>.scm</samp>’ and
‘<samp>.six</samp>’ (the first found is the source file). If both a source
file and an object file exist, then the one with the latest
modification time is loaded. Otherwise the file that is found is
loaded. When the file name has an extension, the <code>load</code>
procedure will only attempt to load the file with that specific name.
</p>
<p>When the extension of the file loaded is ‘<samp>.scm</samp>’ the content of
the file will be parsed using the normal Scheme prefix syntax. When
the extension of the file loaded is ‘<samp>.six</samp>’ the content of the
file will be parsed using the Scheme infix syntax extension (see
<a href="#Scheme-infix-syntax-extension">Scheme infix syntax extension</a>). Otherwise, <code>gsi</code> will
parse the file using the normal Scheme prefix syntax.
</p>
<p>The ports associated with ‘<samp>(current-input-port)</samp>’,
‘<samp>(current-output-port)</samp>’ and ‘<samp>(current-error-port)</samp>’ initially
refer respectively to the standard input (‘<samp>stdin</samp>’), standard
output (‘<samp>stdout</samp>’) and the standard error (‘<samp>stderr</samp>’) of the
interpreter. This is true even in REPLs started with the ‘<samp>-</samp>’
option. The usual interaction channel (console or IDE’s console
window) is still used to read expressions and commands and to display
results. This makes it possible to use REPLs to debug programs which
read the standard input and write to the standard output, even when
these have been redirected.
</p>
<p>Here is a sample use of the interpreter in batch mode, under UNIX:

<a name="Customization"></a>
<h2 class="section">2.3 Customization</h2>
<p>There are two ways to customize the interpreter. When the interpreter
starts off it tries to execute a ‘<samp>(load "~~lib/gambext")</samp>’ (for an
explanation of how file names are interpreted see <a href="#Host-environment">Host environment</a>).
An error is not signaled when the file does not exist. Interpreter
extensions and patches that are meant to apply to all users and all
modes should go in that file.
</p>
<p>Extensions which are meant to apply to a single user or to a specific
working directory are best placed in the <em>initialization file</em>,
which is a file containing Scheme code. In all modes, the interpreter
first tries to locate the initialization file by searching the following
locations: ‘<tt>.gambini</tt>’ and ‘<tt>~/.gambini</tt>’ (with no extension, a
‘<samp>.scm</samp>’ extension, and a ‘<samp>.six</samp>’ extension in that order). The
first file that is found is examined as though the expression
<code>(include <var>initialization-file</var>)</code> had been entered at the
read-eval-print loop where <var>initialization-file</var> is the file that
was found. Note that by using an <code>include</code> the macros defined in
the initialization file will be visible from the read-eval-print loop
(this would not have been the case if <code>load</code> had been used). The
initialization file is not searched for or examined when the ‘<samp>-f</samp>’
option is specified.

<p>The <code>load</code> procedure treats specially files that begin with the
two characters ‘<samp>#!</samp>’ and ‘<samp>@;</samp>’. Such files are called
<em>script files</em> and the first line is called the <em>script line</em>.
In addition to indicating that the file is a script, the script line
provides information about the source code language to be used by the
<code>load</code> procedure. After the two characters ‘<samp>#!</samp>’ and
‘<samp>@;</samp>’ the system will search for the first substring matching one
of the following language specifying tokens:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">

<p>Full Gambit Scheme language with infix syntax, case-sensitivity, keyword

</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>If a language specifying token is not found, <code>load</code> will use the
same language as a nonscript file (i.e. it uses the file extension and
runtime system options to determine the language).
</p>
<p>After processing the script line, <code>load</code> will parse the rest of
the file (using the syntax of the language indicated) and then execute
it. When the file is being loaded because it is an argument on the
interpreter’s command line, the interpreter will:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a name="index-command_002dline"></a>
Setup the <code>command-line</code> procedure so that it returns a list
containing the expanded file name of the script file and the
arguments following the script file on the command line.
This is done before the script is executed. The expanded file name
of the script file can be used to determine the directory that
contains the script (i.e. <code>(path-directory (car (command-line)))</code>).
</li><li>
After the script is loaded the procedure <code>main</code> is called with
the command-line arguments. The way this is done depends on the
language specifying token. For <code>scheme-r4rs</code>,
<code>scheme-r5rs</code>, <code>scheme-ieee-1178-1990</code>, and
<code>scheme-srfi-0</code>, the <code>main</code> procedure is called with the
equivalent of <code>(main (cdr (command-line)))</code> and <code>main</code> is
expected to return a process exit status code in the range 0 to 255.
This conforms to the “Running Scheme Scripts on Unix SRFI” (SRFI
22). For <code>gsi-script</code> and <code>six-script</code> the <code>main</code>
procedure is called with the equivalent of <code>(apply main (cdr
(command-line)))</code> and the process exit status code is 0 (<code>main</code>’s
result is ignored). The Gambit system has a predefined <code>main</code>
procedure which accepts any number of arguments and returns 0, so it
is perfectly valid for a script to not define <code>main</code> and to do
all its processing with top-level expressions (examples are given in
the next section).
</li><li>
When <code>main</code> returns, the interpreter exits. The command-line
arguments after a script file are consequently not processed (however
they do appear in the list returned by the <code>command-line</code>
procedure, after the script file’s expanded file name, so it is up to
the script to process them).

<h3 class="subsection">2.5.1 Scripts under UNIX and Mac OS X</h3>
<p>Under UNIX and Mac OS X, the Gambit installation process creates the
executable ‘<samp>gsi</samp>’ and also the executables ‘<samp>six</samp>’,
‘<samp>gsi-script</samp>’, ‘<samp>six-script</samp>’, ‘<samp>scheme-r5rs</samp>’,
‘<samp>scheme-srfi-0</samp>’, etc as links to ‘<samp>gsi</samp>’. A Scheme script
need only start with the name of the desired Scheme language variant
prefixed with ‘<samp>#!</samp>’ and the directory where the Gambit
executables are stored. This script should be made executable by
setting the execute permission bits (with a ‘<samp>chmod +x
<var>script</var></samp>’). Here is an example of a script which lists on standard
output the files in the current directory:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample"><b></b>#!/usr/local/Gambit/bin/gsi-script
(for-each pretty-print (directory-files))
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>Here is another UNIX script, using the Scheme infix syntax extension,
which takes a single integer argument and prints on standard output the
numbers from 1 to that integer:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample"><b></b>#!/usr/local/Gambit/bin/six-script
void main (obj n_str)
{
int n = \string->number(n_str);
for (int i=1; i<=n; i++)
\pretty-print(i);
}
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>For maximal portability it is a good idea to start scripts indirectly
through the ‘<samp>/usr/bin/env</samp>’ program, so that the executable of the
interpreter will be searched in the user’s ‘<samp>PATH</samp>’. This is what
SRFI 22 recommends. For example here is a script that mimics the UNIX
‘<samp>cat</samp>’ utility for text files:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample"><b></b>#!/usr/bin/env gsi-script
(define (display-file filename)
(display (call-with-input-file filename
(lambda (port)
(read-line port #f)))))

<h3 class="subsection">2.5.2 Scripts under Microsoft Windows</h3>
<p>Under Microsoft Windows, the Gambit installation process creates the
executable ‘<samp>gsi.exe</samp>’ and ‘<samp>six.exe</samp>’ and also the batch files
‘<samp>gsi-script.bat</samp>’, ‘<samp>six-script.bat</samp>’, ‘<samp>scheme-r5rs.bat</samp>’,
‘<samp>scheme-srfi-0.bat</samp>’, etc which simply invoke ‘<samp>gsi.exe</samp>’ with
the same command line arguments. A Scheme script need only start with
the name of the desired Scheme language variant prefixed with
‘<samp>@;</samp>’. A UNIX script can be converted to a Microsoft Windows
script simply by changing the script line and storing the script in a
file whose name has a ‘<samp>.bat</samp>’ or ‘<samp>.cmd</samp>’ extension:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample"><b></b>@;gsi-script %~f0 %*
(display "files:\n")
(pretty-print (directory-files))
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>Note that Microsoft Windows always searches executables in the user’s
‘<samp>PATH</samp>’, so there is no need for an indirection such as the UNIX
‘<samp>/usr/bin/env</samp>’. However the script line must end with ‘<samp>%~f0
%*</samp>’ to pass the expanded filename of the script and command line
arguments to the interpreter.

<h3 class="subsection">2.5.3 Compiling scripts</h3>
<p>A script file can be compiled using the Gambit Scheme compiler
(see section <a href="#GSC">The Gambit Scheme compiler</a>) into a standalone executable. The script line will
provide information to the compiler on which language to use. The
script line also provides information on which runtime options to use
when executing the compiled script. This is useful to set the default
runtime options of an executable program.
</p>
<p>The compiled script will be executed similarly to an interpreted
script (i.e. the list of command line arguments returned by the
<code>command-line</code> procedure and the invocation of the <code>main</code>
procedure).
</p>
<p>For example:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample">$ <b>cat square.scm</b>
#!/usr/local/Gambit/bin/gsi-script -:d0
(define (main arg)
(pretty-print (expt (string->number arg) 2)))

<p>In batch mode <code>gsc</code> takes a set of file names (with either no
extension, or a C file extension, or some other extension) on the
command line and compiles each Scheme file into a C file.
The recognized C file extensions are ‘<samp>.c</samp>’, ‘<samp>.C</samp>’, ‘<samp>.cc</samp>’,
‘<samp>.cp</samp>’, ‘<samp>.cpp</samp>’, ‘<samp>.CPP</samp>’, ‘<samp>.cxx</samp>’, ‘<samp>.c++</samp>’,
‘<samp>.m</samp>’, ‘<samp>.M</samp>’, and ‘<samp>.mm</samp>’.
The extension can be omitted from <var>file</var> when the Scheme file has a
‘<samp>.scm</samp>’ or ‘<samp>.six</samp>’ extension. When the extension of the
Scheme file is ‘<samp>.six</samp>’ the content of the file will be parsed
using the Scheme infix syntax extension (see <a href="#Scheme-infix-syntax-extension">Scheme infix syntax extension</a>). Otherwise, <code>gsc</code> will parse the Scheme file using the
normal Scheme prefix syntax. Files with a C file extension must
have been previously produced by <code>gsc</code>, with the ‘<samp>-c</samp>’ option,
and are used by Gambit’s linker.
</p>
<p>For each Scheme file a C file ‘<samp><var>file</var>.c</samp>’ will be produced.
The C file’s name is the same as the Scheme file, but the extension is
changed to ‘<samp>.c</samp>’. By default the C file is created in the same
directory as the Scheme file. This default can be overridden with the
compiler’s ‘<samp>-o</samp>’ option.
</p>
<p>The C files produced by the compiler serve two purposes. They will be
processed by a C compiler to generate object files, and they also
contain information to be read by Gambit’s linker to generate a
<em>link file</em>. The link file is a C file that collects various
linking information for a group of modules, such as the set of all
symbols and global variables used by the modules.
<a name="index-_002dlink"></a>
<a name="index-_002dexe"></a>
The linker is only invoked when the ‘<samp>-link</samp>’ or ‘<samp>-exe</samp>’
options appear on the command line.
</p>
<p>Compiler options must be specified before the first file name and
after the ‘<samp>-:</samp>’ runtime option (see section <a href="#Runtime-options">Runtime options</a>). If
present, the ‘<samp>-i</samp>’, ‘<samp>-f</samp>’, and ‘<samp>-v</samp>’ compiler options
must come first. The available options are:

<a name="index-_002dprelude"></a>
<p>The ‘<samp>-prelude</samp>’ option adds the specified expressions to the top of
the source code being compiled. The main use of this option is to
supply declarations on the command line. For example the following
invocation of the compiler will compile the file ‘<samp>bench.scm</samp>’ in
unsafe mode:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample">$ <b>gsc -prelude "(declare (not safe))" bench.scm</b>
</pre></td></tr></table>
<a name="index-_002dpostlude"></a>
<p>The ‘<samp>-postlude</samp>’ option adds the specified expressions to the bottom
of the source code being compiled. The main use of this option is to
supply the expression that will start the execution of the program. For
example:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample">$ <b>gsc -postlude "(start-bench)" bench.scm</b>
</pre></td></tr></table>
<a name="index-_002dcc_002doptions"></a>
<p>The ‘<samp>-cc-options</samp>’ option is only meaningful when a dynamically
loadable object file is being generated (neither the ‘<samp>-c</samp>’ or
‘<samp>-link</samp>’ options are used). The ‘<samp>-cc-options</samp>’ option adds
the specified options to the command that invokes the C compiler. The
main use of this option is to specify the include path, some symbols
to define or undefine, the optimization level, or any C compiler
option that is different from the default. For example:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample">$ <b>gsc -cc-options "-U___SINGLE_HOST -O2 -I../include" bench.scm</b>

<p>The ‘<samp>-ld-options-prelude</samp>’ and ‘<samp>-ld-options</samp>’ options are only
meaningful when a dynamically loadable object file is being generated
(neither the ‘<samp>-c</samp>’ or ‘<samp>-link</samp>’ options are used). The
‘<samp>-ld-options-prelude</samp>’ and ‘<samp>-ld-options</samp>’ options add the
specified options to the command that invokes the C linker (the
options in <var>ld-options-prelude</var> are passed to the C linker before
the input file and the options in <var>ld-options</var> are passed after).
The main use of this option is to specify additional object files or
libraries that need to be linked, or any C linker option that is
different from the default (such as the library search path and flags
to select between static and dynamic linking). For example:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample">$ <b>gsc -ld-options "-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -dynamic" bench.scm</b>

</p>
<a name="index-_002dverbose"></a>
<p>The ‘<samp>-verbose</samp>’ option displays on standard output a trace of the
compiler’s activity.
</p>
<a name="index-_002dreport"></a>
<p>The ‘<samp>-report</samp>’ option displays on standard output a global
variable usage report. Each global variable used in the program is
listed with 4 flags that indicate whether the global variable is
defined, referenced, mutated and called.
</p>
<a name="index-_002dexpansion"></a>
<p>The ‘<samp>-expansion</samp>’ option displays on standard output the source code
after expansion and inlining by the front end.
</p>
<a name="index-_002dgvm"></a>
<p>The ‘<samp>-gvm</samp>’ option generates a listing of the intermediate code
for the “Gambit Virtual Machine” (GVM) of each Scheme file on
‘<samp><var>file</var>.gvm</samp>’.
</p>
<a name="index-_002dcfg"></a>
<p>The ‘<samp>-cfg</samp>’ option generates a visual representation of the
control flow graph of the intermediate code for the “Gambit Virtual
Machine” (GVM) of each Scheme file on ‘<samp><var>file</var>.cfg</samp>’.
The file is suitable for processing with the “dot” program.
For example, to generate the PDF file ‘<samp><var>file</var>.cfg.pdf</samp>’
from ‘<samp><var>file</var>.cfg</samp>’ the following command can be used:

<a name="index-_002ddg"></a>
<p>The ‘<samp>-dg</samp>’ option generates a visual representation of the
dependency graph of each Scheme file on ‘<samp><var>file</var>.dg</samp>’.
The file is suitable for processing with the “dot” program.
For example, to generate the PDF file ‘<samp><var>file</var>.dg.pdf</samp>’

<h2 class="section">3.4 Link files</h2>
<p>Gambit can be used to create programs and libraries of Scheme
modules. This section explains the steps required to do so and the role
played by the link files.
</p>
<p>In general, a program is composed of a set of Scheme modules and C
modules. Some of the modules are part of the Gambit runtime library and
the other modules are supplied by the user. When the program is
started it must setup various global tables (including the symbol table
and the global variable table) and then sequentially execute the Scheme
modules (more or less as though they were being loaded one after another).
The information required for this is contained in one or more <em>link
files</em> generated by the Gambit linker from the C files produced by the
Gambit compiler.
</p>
<p>The order of execution of the Scheme modules corresponds to the order of
the modules on the command line which produced the link file. The order
is usually important because most modules define variables and
procedures which are used by other modules (for this reason the
program’s main computation is normally started by the last module).
</p>
<p>When a single link file is used to contain the linking information of
all the Scheme modules it is called a <em>flat link file</em>. Thus a
program built with a flat link file contains in its link file both
information on the user modules and on the runtime library. This is
fine if the program is to be statically linked but is wasteful in
a shared-library context because the linking information of the
runtime library can’t be shared and will be duplicated in all
programs (this linking information typically takes hundreds of kilobytes).
</p>
<p>Flat link files are mainly useful to bundle multiple Scheme modules to
make a runtime library (such as the Gambit runtime library) or to make a
single file that can be loaded with the <code>load</code> procedure.
</p>
<p>An <em>incremental link file</em> contains only the linking information
that is not already contained in a second link file (the “base” link
file). Assuming that a flat link file was produced when the runtime
library was linked, a program can be built by linking the user
modules with the runtime library’s link file, producing an incremental
link file. This allows the creation of a shared-library which
contains the modules of the runtime library and its flat link file.
The program is dynamically linked with this shared-library and
only contains the user modules and the incremental link file. For
small programs this approach greatly reduces the size of the
program because the incremental link file is small. A “hello
world” program built this way can be as small as 5 Kbytes. Note that
it is perfectly fine to use an incremental link file for statically
linked programs (there is very little loss compared to a single flat
link file).
</p>
<p>Incremental link files may be built from other incremental link files.
This allows the creation of shared-libraries which extend the
functionality of the Gambit runtime library.

<h3 class="subsection">3.4.1 Building an executable program</h3>
<p>The simplest way to create an executable program is to invoke
<code>gsc</code> with the ‘<samp>-exe</samp>’ option. The compiler will
transparently perform all the steps necessary, including compiling
Scheme source files to C files, generating the link file, compiling
the C files generated to object files, and creating the final
executable file using the C linker. The following example shows how
to build the executable program ‘<samp>hello.exe</samp>’ which contains the
two Scheme modules ‘<samp>h.scm</samp>’ and ‘<samp>w.six</samp>’.
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample">$ <b>cat h.scm</b>
(display "hello") (newline)
$ <b>cat w.six</b>
display("world"); newline();
$ <b>gsc -o hello.exe -exe h.scm w.six</b>
h.scm:
/Users/feeley/gambit/doc/h.c:
w.six:
/Users/feeley/gambit/doc/w.c:
/Users/feeley/gambit/doc/w_.c:
$ <b>./hello.exe</b>
hello
world
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>The detailed steps which are performed can be viewed by setting the
‘<samp>GAMBCOMP_VERBOSE</samp>’ environment variable to a nonnull value. For
example:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample">$ <b>export GAMBCOMP_VERBOSE=yes</b>

</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>Using a single invocation of <code>gsc</code> with the ‘<samp>-exe</samp>’ option is
sometimes inappropriate when the build process is more complex, for
example when the program is composed of several seperately compiled
modules. In such a case it is useful to decompose the build process
into smaller compilation steps. The ‘<samp>hello.exe</samp>’ executable
program could have been built by seperating the generation of C files
from the C compilation and linking:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample">$ <b>gsc -c h.scm</b>
$ <b>gsc -c w.six</b>
$ <b>gsc -o hello.exe -exe h.c w.c</b>
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>When even finer control is desired the build process can be decomposed
into smaller steps that invoke the C compiler and linker explicitly.
This is described in the rest of this section.
</p>
<p>The <code>gsc</code> compiler can be invoked to compile each Scheme module
into a C file and to create an incremental link file. The C files and
the link file must then be compiled with a C compiler and linked (at
the object file level) with the Gambit runtime library and possibly
other libraries (such as the math library and the dynamic loading
library).
</p>
<p>Here is for example how a program with three modules (one in C and two
in Scheme) can be built. The content of the three source files (‘<samp>m1.c</samp>’,
‘<samp>m2.scm</samp>’ and ‘<samp>m3.scm</samp>’) is:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample"><b></b>/* File: "m1.c" */
int power_of_2 (int x) { return 1<<x; }
; File: "m2.scm"
(c-declare "extern int power_of_2 ();")
(define pow2 (c-lambda (int) int "power_of_2"))
(define (twice x) (cons x x))
; File: "m3.scm"
(write (map twice (map pow2 '(1 2 3 4)))) (newline)
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>The compilation of the two Scheme source files can be done with
three invocations of <code>gsc</code>:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample">$ <b>gsc -c m2.scm <span class="roman"><i># create m2.c (note: .scm is optional)</i></span></b>
$ <b>gsc -c m3.scm <span class="roman"><i># create m3.c (note: .scm is optional)</i></span></b>
$ <b>gsc -link m2.c m3.c <span class="roman"><i># create the incremental link file m3_.c</i></span></b>
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>Alternatively, the three invocations of <code>gsc</code> can be replaced by a
single invocation:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample">$ <b>gsc -link m2 m3</b>
m2:
m3:
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>At this point there will be 4 C files: ‘<samp>m1.c</samp>’, ‘<samp>m2.c</samp>’,
‘<samp>m3.c</samp>’, and ‘<samp>m3_.c</samp>’. To produce an executable program these
files must be compiled with a C compiler and linked with the Gambit
runtime library. The C compiler options needed will depend on the C
compiler and the operating system (in particular it may be necessary
to add the options ‘<samp>-I/usr/local/Gambit/include
-L/usr/local/Gambit/lib</samp>’ to access the ‘<samp>gambit.h</samp>’ header file
and the Gambit runtime library).

<a name="index-_002dD_005f_005f_005fDYNAMIC"></a>
<p>To bundle multiple modules into a single object file that can be
dynamically loaded with the <code>load</code> procedure, a flat link file is
needed. The compiler’s ‘<samp>-o</samp>’ option must be used to name the C
file generated as follows. If the dynamically loadable object file is
to be named ‘<samp><var>myfile</var>.o<var>n</var></samp>’ then the ‘<samp>-o</samp>’ option
must set the name of the link file generated to
‘<samp><var>myfile</var>.o<var>n</var>.c</samp>’ (note that the ‘<samp>.c</samp>’ extension
could also be ‘<samp>.cc</samp>’, ‘<samp>.cpp</samp>’ or whatever extension is
appropriate for C/C++ source files). The three modules of the
previous example can be bundled by generating a link file in this way:
</p>

<p>The warnings indicate that there are no definitions (<code>define</code>s or
<code>set!</code>s) of the variables <code>cons</code>, <code>map</code>, <code>newline</code>

‘<samp>foo.o1</samp>’ is loaded, these variables will have to be bound; either
implicitly (by the runtime library) or explicitly.
</p>
<p>When compiling the C files and link file generated, the flag
‘<samp>-D___DYNAMIC</samp>’ must be passed to the C compiler and the C

<a name="index-_002dD_005f_005f_005fSHARED"></a>
<p>A shared-library can be built using an incremental link file or a flat
link file. An incremental link file is normally used when the Gambit
runtime library (or some other library) is to be extended with new
procedures. A flat link file is mainly useful when building a
“primal” runtime library, which is a library (such as the Gambit
runtime library) that does not extend another library. When compiling
the C files and link file generated, the flags ‘<samp>-D___LIBRARY</samp>’ and
‘<samp>-D___SHARED</samp>’ must be passed to the C compiler. The flag
‘<samp>-D___PRIMAL</samp>’ must also be passed to the C compiler when a primal
library is being built.
</p>
<p>A shared-library ‘<samp>mylib.so</samp>’ containing the two first modules of
the previous example can be built this way:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample">$ <b>uname -srmp</b>
Linux bailey 1.2.13 #2 Wed Aug 28 16:29:41 GMT 1996 i586
$ <b>gsc -link -o mylib.c m2</b>
$ <b>gsc -obj -cc-options "-D___SHARED" m1.c m2.c mylib.c</b>
m1.c:
m2.c:
mylib.c:
$ <b>gcc -shared m1.o m2.o mylib.o -o mylib.so</b>
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>Note that this shared-library is built using an incremental link file
(it extends the Gambit runtime library with the procedures <code>pow2</code>
and <code>twice</code>). This shared-library can in turn be used to build
an executable program from the third module of the previous example:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample">$ <b>gsc -link -l mylib m3</b>

<a name="index-_002dD_005f_005f_005fSINGLE_005fHOST"></a>
<a name="index-_002dO"></a>
<p>The performance of the code can be increased by passing the
‘<samp>-D___SINGLE_HOST</samp>’ flag to the C compiler. This will merge all
the procedures of a module into a single C procedure, which reduces
the cost of intra-module procedure calls. In addition the ‘<samp>-O</samp>’
option can be passed to the C compiler. For large modules, it will
not be practical to specify both ‘<samp>-O</samp>’ and ‘<samp>-D___SINGLE_HOST</samp>’
for typical C compilers because the compile time will be high and the
C compiler might even fail to compile the program for lack of memory.
It has been observed that lower levels of optimization (e.g. ‘<samp>-O1</samp>’)
often give faster compilation and also generate faster code. It is
a good idea to experiment.

<a name="index-_002dL_002fusr_002flocal_002fGambit_002flib"></a>
<p>Normally C compilers will not automatically search
‘<samp>/usr/local/Gambit/include</samp>’ for header files so the flag
‘<samp>-I/usr/local/Gambit/include</samp>’ should be passed to the C
compiler. Similarly, C compilers/linkers will not automatically
search ‘<samp>/usr/local/Gambit/lib</samp>’ for libraries so the flag
‘<samp>-L/usr/local/Gambit/lib</samp>’ should be passed to the C
compiler/linker. Alternatives are given in <a href="#Accessing-the-system-files">Accessing the system files</a>.

<a name="index-_002bz"></a>
<a name="index-_002dG"></a>
<p>A variety of flags are needed by some C compilers when compiling a
shared-library or a dynamically loadable library. Some of these flags
are: ‘<samp>-shared</samp>’, ‘<samp>-call_shared</samp>’, ‘<samp>-rdynamic</samp>’,
‘<samp>-fpic</samp>’, ‘<samp>-fPIC</samp>’, ‘<samp>-Kpic</samp>’, ‘<samp>-KPIC</samp>’, ‘<samp>-pic</samp>’,
‘<samp>+z</samp>’, ‘<samp>-G</samp>’. Check your compiler’s documentation to see
which flag you need.

<a name="index-gsc-2"></a>
<p>The <var>file</var> parameter must be a string. If <var>expression</var> is not
specified, <var>file</var> must name an existing file
containing Scheme source code. The extension can be omitted from
<var>file</var> when the Scheme file has a ‘<samp>.scm</samp>’ or ‘<samp>.six</samp>’
extension. By default, this procedure compiles the source file into a file
containing C code. A different target language can be selected in
the <var>options</var>. The generated file is named after <var>file</var>
with the extension replaced with ‘<samp>.c</samp>’, or an appropriate extension
for the target selected. The name of the generated
file can also be specified directly with the <var>output</var> parameter. If
<var>output</var> is a string naming a directory then the generated file is created
in that directory. Otherwise the name of the generated file is <var>output</var>.
</p>
<p>The name of the generated module can be specified with the
<var>module-name</var> parameter. If <var>module-name</var> is <code>#f</code> or is
not specified, then the name of the module is derived from the name of
the file generated, without the extension.
</p>
<p>The name of the low-level initialization function exported by the
module can be specified with the <var>linker-name</var> parameter. If
<var>linker-name</var> is <code>#f</code> or is not specified, then the name of
the function is derived from the name of the module.
</p>
<p>Compilation options are specified through the <var>options</var> parameter
which must be a list of symbols. Any combination of the following
options can be used: ‘<samp>target</samp>’, ‘<samp>verbose</samp>’, ‘<samp>report</samp>’, ‘<samp>expansion</samp>’,
‘<samp>gvm</samp>’, and ‘<samp>debug</samp>’.
</p>
<p>When <var>expression</var> is specified, the <var>file</var> parameter is not
open or read. Instead, <var>expression</var> is used as though it was the
content of the file. This makes it possible to compile source code
without having to create a file to contain the code. Note that
<var>file</var> is used in error messages and to determine the output file
name if <var>output</var> is not specified.
</p>
<p>When the compilation is successful, <code>compile-file-to-target</code> returns
the name of the file generated. When there is a compilation error,
<code>#f</code> is returned.

<p>The <var>file</var>, <var>options</var>, <var>output</var>, <var>module-name</var>, <var>linker-name</var>, and <var>expression</var> parameters have the
same meaning as for the <code>compile-file-to-target</code> procedure, except that
<var>file</var> may be a Scheme source file or a
file possibly generated by the Gambit Scheme compiler (for example
with the <code>compile-file-to-target</code> procedure). The
<var>cc-options</var> parameter is a string containing the options to pass
to the C compiler and the <var>ld-options-prelude</var> and
<var>ld-options</var> parameters are strings containing the options to pass
to the C linker (the options in <var>ld-options-prelude</var> are passed to
the C linker before the input file and the options in <var>ld-options</var>
are passed after).
</p>
<p>The <code>compile-file</code> procedure compiles the source file <var>file</var>
into an object file, which is either a file dynamically loadable using
the <code>load</code> procedure, or a C linkable object file destined to be
linked with the C linker (for example to create a standalone
executable program). The presence of the
<code>obj</code> option in <var>options</var> will cause the creation of a C
linkable object file and therefore the options
<var>ld-options-prelude</var> and <var>ld-options</var> are ignored, otherwise a
dynamically loadable file is created. In both cases, if <var>file</var> is
a Scheme source file, the compiler first compiles <var>file</var> to a C
file which is created in the same directory as <var>file</var> regardless
of the <var>output</var> parameter. Then the C file is compiled with the C
compiler.
</p>
<p>When the compilation is successful, <code>compile-file</code> returns the
name of the object file generated. When there is a compilation error,
<code>#f</code> is returned.
</p>
<p>The name of the object file can be specified with the <var>output</var>
parameter. If <var>output</var> is a string naming a directory then the
object file is created in that directory. Otherwise the name of the
object file is <var>output</var>.
</p>
<p>In the case of a dynamically loadable object file, by default the
object file is named after <var>file</var> with the extension replaced with
‘<samp>.o<var>n</var></samp>’, where <var>n</var> is a positive integer that acts as a
version number. The next available version number is generated
automatically by <code>compile-file</code>.
</p>
<p>When dynamically loaded object files are loaded using the <code>load</code>
procedure, the ‘<samp>.o<var>n</var></samp>’ extension can be specified (to select
a particular version) or omitted (to load the file with a
‘<samp>.o<var>n</var></samp>’ extension with the highest <var>n</var> consecutively from
1). When the ‘<samp>.o<var>n</var></samp>’ extension is not specified and older
versions are no longer needed, all versions must be deleted and the
compilation must be repeated (this is necessary because the file name,
including the extension, is used to name some of the exported symbols
of the object file).
</p>
<p>Note that dynamically loadable object files can only be generated on
host operating systems that support dynamic loading.

<p>The ‘<samp>m</samp>’ option specifies the minimum size of the heap. The
‘<samp>m</samp>’ is immediately followed by an integer indicating the number
of kilobytes of memory. The heap will not shrink lower than this
size. By default, the minimum size is 0.

<p>The ‘<samp>h</samp>’ option specifies the maximum size of the heap. The
‘<samp>h</samp>’ is immediately followed by an integer indicating the number

integer between 1 and 100 inclusively indicating the desired
percentage. The garbage collector resizes the heap to reach this
percentage occupation. By default, the percentage is 50.

<p>When a program’s execution starts, the runtime system obtains the
runtime options by processing in turn various sources of runtime options:
the defaults, the environment variable ‘<samp>GAMBOPT</samp>’, the script
line of the source code, and, unless the program is an interpreted
script, the first command line argument of the
program. Any runtime option can be overriden by a subsequent source
of runtime options. It is sometimes useful to prevent overriding
the runtime options of the script line. This can be achieved by
starting the script line runtime options with ‘<samp>-::</samp>’. In
this case the environment variable ‘<samp>GAMBOPT</samp>’ is ignored,
and the first command line argument of the program is
not used for runtime options (it is treated like a normal
command line argument even if it starts with ‘<samp>-:</samp>’).
</p>
<p>For example:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample">$ <b>GAMBOPT=d0,=~/my-gambit2</b>
$ <b>export GAMBOPT</b>
$ <b>gsi -e '(pretty-print (path-expand "~~")) (/ 1 0)'</b>
"/Users/feeley/my-gambit2/"
$ <b>echo $?</b>
70
$ <b>gsi -:d1 -e '(pretty-print (path-expand "~~")) (/ 1 0)'</b>

*** ERROR IN (string)@1.3 -- Divide by zero

<h2 class="section">5.1 Debugging model</h2>
<p>The evaluation of an expression may stop before it is completed for the
following reasons:
</p>
<ol>
<li> An evaluation error has occured, such as attempting to
divide by zero.
<a name="index-_005eC-1"></a>
</li><li> The user has interrupted the evaluation (usually by typing <^C>).
</li><li> A breakpoint has been reached or <code>(step)</code> was evaluated.
</li><li> Single-stepping mode is enabled.
</li></ol>
<p>When an evaluation stops, a message is displayed indicating the reason
and location where the evaluation was stopped. The location
information includes, if known, the name of the procedure where the
evaluation was stopped and the source code location in the format
‘<samp><var>stream</var>@<var>line</var>.<var>column</var></samp>’, where <var>stream</var> is
either a string naming a file or a symbol within parentheses, such as
‘<samp>(console)</samp>’.
</p>
<p>A <em>nested REPL</em> is then initiated in the context of the point of
execution where the evaluation was stopped. The nested REPL’s
continuation and evaluation environment are the same as the point where
the evaluation was stopped. For example when evaluating the expression
‘<samp>(let ((y (- 1 1))) (* (/ x y) 2))</samp>’, a “divide by zero” error is
reported and the nested REPL’s continuation is the one that takes the
result and multiplies it by two. The REPL’s lexical environment
includes the lexical variable ‘<samp>y</samp>’. This allows the inspection of
the evaluation context (i.e. the lexical and dynamic environments and
continuation), which is particularly useful to determine the exact
location and cause of an error.
</p>
<a name="index-_005eD"></a>
<p>The prompt of nested REPLs includes the nesting level; ‘<samp>1></samp>’ is the
prompt at the first nesting level, ‘<samp>2></samp>’ at the second nesting
level, and so on. An end of file (usually <^D>) will cause the
current REPL to be terminated and the enclosing REPL (one nesting level
less) to be resumed.
</p>
<p>At any time the user can examine the frames in the REPL’s
continuation, which is useful to determine which chain of procedure
calls lead to an error. A backtrace that lists the chain of active
continuation frames in the REPL’s continuation can be obtained with
the ‘<samp>,b</samp>’ command. The frames are numbered from 0, that is frame
0 is the most recent frame of the continuation where execution
stopped, frame 1 is the parent frame of frame 0, and so on. It is
also possible to move the REPL to a specific parent continuation
(i.e. a specific frame of the continuation where execution stopped)
with the ‘<samp>,<var>N</var></samp>’, ‘<samp>,<var>N</var>+</samp>’, ‘<samp>,<var>N</var>-</samp>’,
‘<samp>,+</samp>’, ‘<samp>,-</samp>’, ‘<samp>,++</samp>’, and ‘<samp>,--</samp>’ commands. When the
frame number of the frame being examined is not zero, it is shown in
the prompt after the nesting level, for example ‘<samp>1\5></samp>’ is the
prompt when the REPL nesting level is 1 and the frame number is 5.
</p>
<p>Expressions entered at a nested REPL are evaluated in the environment
(both lexical and dynamic) of the continuation frame currently being
examined if that frame was created by interpreted Scheme code. If the
frame was created by compiled Scheme code then expressions get evaluated
in the global interaction environment. This feature may be used in
interpreted code to fetch the value of a variable in the current frame
or to change its value with <code>set!</code>. Note that some special forms
(<code>define</code> in particular) can only be evaluated in the global
interaction environment.

<dd><a name="index-_002c_003f"></a>
<p>Give a summary of the REPL commands.

</dd>
<dt> <code>,(h <var>subject</var>)</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002c_0028h-subject_0029"></a>
<p>This command will show the section of the Gambit manual with the
definition of the procedure or special form <var>subject</var>, which must
be a symbol. For example ‘<samp>,(h time)</samp>’ will show the section
documenting the <code>time</code> special form. Please see the <code>help</code>
procedure for additional information.

<dt> <code>,h</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002ch"></a>

</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>,q</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002cq"></a>

calling <code>(exit 0)</code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>,qt</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002cqt"></a>
<p>Terminate the current thread (note that terminating the primordial
thread terminates the process).
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>,t</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002ct"></a>
<p>Return to the outermost REPL, also known as the “top-level REPL”.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>,d</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002cd"></a>
<p>Leave the current REPL and resume the enclosing REPL. This command does
nothing in the top-level REPL.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>,(c <var>expr</var>)</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002c_0028c-expr_0029"></a>
<p>Leave the current REPL and continue the computation that initiated the
REPL with a specific value. This command can only be used to continue
a computation that signaled an error. The expression <var>expr</var> is
evaluated in the current context and the resulting value is returned
as the value of the expression which signaled the error. For example,
if the evaluation of the expression ‘<samp>(* (/ x y) 2)</samp>’ signaled an
error because ‘<samp>y</samp>’ is zero, then in the nested REPL a ‘<samp>,(c (+
4 y))</samp>’ will resume the computation of ‘<samp>(* (/ x y) 2)</samp>’ as though
the value of ‘<samp>(/ x y)</samp>’ was 4. This command must be used
carefully because the context where the error occured may rely on the
result being of a particular type. For instance a ‘<samp>,(c #f)</samp>’ in
the previous example will cause ‘<samp>*</samp>’ to signal a type error (this
problem is the most troublesome when debugging Scheme code that was
compiled with type checking turned off so be careful).

<p>Leave the current REPL and continue the computation that initiated the

performed, a line is displayed (in the same format as <code>trace</code>)
which indicates the expression that is being evaluated. If the
evaluation step produces a result, the result is also displayed on
another line. A nested REPL is then entered after displaying a message
which describes the next step of the computation. This command can
only be used to continue a computation that was stopped due to a user
interrupt, breakpoint or a single-step.

<p>This command is similar to ‘<samp>,s</samp>’ except that it “leaps” over
procedure calls, that is procedure calls are treated like a single step.
Single-stepping mode will resume when the procedure call returns, or if
and when the execution of the called procedure encounters a breakpoint.

<p>Display a one-line summary of the current frame. The information is
displayed in four fields. The first field is the frame number. The
second field is the procedure that created the frame or
‘<samp>(interaction)</samp>’ if the frame was created by an expression entered
at the REPL. The remaining fields describe the subproblem associated
with the frame, that is the expression whose value is being computed.
The third field is the location of the subproblem’s source code and
the fourth field is a reproduction of the source code, possibly
truncated to fit on the line. The last two fields may be missing if
that information is not available. In particular, the third field is
missing when the frame was created by a user call to the ‘<samp>eval</samp>’
procedure or by a compiled procedure not compiled with the declaration
‘<samp>debug-location</samp>’, and the last field is missing when the frame
was created by a compiled procedure not compiled with the declaration

location information is displayed in the format
‘<samp><var>stream</var>@<var>line</var>:<var>column</var></samp>’). If there are more than 15

they are compiled with the declaration ‘<samp>debug-source</samp>’.
</p>
</dd>

<dd><a name="index-_002ce"></a>
<p>Display the environment which is accessible from the current frame.
The lexical environment is displayed, followed by the dynamic
environment if the parameter object
<code>repl-display-dynamic-environment?</code> is not false. Global lexical
variables are not displayed. Moreover the frame must have been
created by interpreted code or code compiled with the declaration
‘<samp>debug-environments</samp>’. Due to space safety
considerations and compiler optimizations, some of the lexical
variable bindings may be missing. Lexical variable bindings are
displayed using the format ‘<samp><var>variable</var> = <var>expression</var></samp>’
(when <var>variable</var> is mutable) or ‘<samp><var>variable</var> == <var>expression</var></samp>’
(when <var>variable</var> is immutable, which may happen in compiled code
due to compiler optimization)
and dynamically-bound parameter bindings are displayed using the
format ‘<samp>(<var>parameter</var>) = <var>expression</var></samp>’. Note that
<var>expression</var> can be a self-evaluating expression (number, string,
boolean, character, ...), a quoted expression, a lambda expression or
a global variable (the last two cases, which are only used when the
value of the variable or parameter is a procedure, simplifies the
debugging of higher-order procedures). A <var>parameter</var> can be a
quoted expression or a global variable. Lexical bindings are
displayed in inverse binding order (most deeply nested first) and
shadowed variables are included in the list.

When <var>X</var> is a continuation, the environment at that point in the

current continuation of that thread is displayed. When <var>X</var> is a
procedure, the lexical environment where <var>X</var> was created is
combined with the current continuation and this combined environment

running, sleeping and waiting on a synchronization object
(mutex, condition variable or port) possibly with a timeout.
</p>

<p>Start a new REPL visiting <var>expr</var>’s value, <var>X</var>, which is
obtained by evaluating <var>expr</var> in the current frame. <var>X</var> must
be a continuation, a thread, a procedure, or a nonnegative integer.
When <var>X</var> is a continuation, the new REPL’s continuation is <var>X</var>
and evaluations are done in the environment at that point in the code.
When <var>X</var> is a thread, the thread is interrupted and the new REPL’s
continuation is the point where the thread was interrupted. When
<var>X</var> is a procedure, the lexical environment where <var>X</var> was
created is combined with the current continuation and evaluations are
done in this combined environment. When <var>X</var> is an integer, the
REPL is started in frame number <var>X</var> of the continuation.

<p>The <code>help</code> procedure displays the section of the Gambit manual
with the definition of the procedure or special form <var>subject</var>,
which must be a procedure or symbol. For example the call <code>(help
gensym)</code> will show the section documenting the <code>gensym</code> procedure
and the call <code>(help 'time)</code> will show the section documenting the
<code>time</code> special form. The <code>help</code> procedure returns the void
object.
</p>
<p>The parameter object <code>help-browser</code> is bound to a string naming
the external program that is used by the <code>help</code> procedure to view
the documentation. Initially it is bound to the empty string. In
normal circumstances when <code>help-browser</code> is bound to an empty
string the <code>help</code> procedure runs the script
<code>~~bin/gambdoc.bat</code> which searches for a suitable web browser
to open the documentation in HTML format. Unless the system was built
with the command ‘<samp>configure --enable-help-browser=...</samp>’, the
text-only browser ‘<samp>lynx</samp>’ (see <a href="http://lynx.isc.org/">http://lynx.isc.org/</a>) will
be used by default if it is available. We highly recommend that you
install this browser if you are interested in viewing the
documentation within the console in which the REPL is running. You
can exit ‘<samp>lynx</samp>’ conveniently by typing an end of file (usually
<^D>).

<p>The REPL keeps a history of the last few results printed by the
REPL. The call <code>(repl-result-history-ref <var>i</var>)</code> returns the
<var>i</var>th previous result (the last for <var>i</var>=0, the next to last
for <var>i</var>=1, etc). By default the REPL result history remembers up
to 3 results. The maximal length of the history can be set to <var>n</var>
between 0 and 10 by a call to
<code>(repl-result-history-max-length-set! <var>n</var>)</code>.
</p>
<p>For convenience the reader defines an abbreviation for calling
<code>repl-result-history-ref</code>. Tokens formed by a sequence of one or
more hash signs, such as ‘<samp><code>#</code></samp>’, ‘<samp><code>##</code></samp>’, etc, are
expanded by the reader into the list <code>(repl-result-history-ref

other words, ‘<samp><code>#</code></samp>’ will return the last result printed by

<p>The <code>trace</code> procedure starts tracing calls to the specified
procedures. When a traced procedure is called, a line containing the
procedure and its arguments is displayed (using the procedure call
expression syntax). The line is indented with a sequence of vertical
bars which indicate the nesting depth of the procedure’s continuation.
After the vertical bars is a greater-than sign which indicates that
the evaluation of the call is starting.
</p>
<p>When a traced procedure returns a result, it is displayed with the same
indentation as the call but without the greater-than sign. This makes
it easy to match calls and results (the result of a given call is the
value at the same indentation as the greater-than sign). If a traced
procedure P1 performs a tail call to a traced procedure P2, then P2 will
use the same indentation as P1. This makes it easy to spot tail calls.
The special handling for tail calls is needed to preserve the space
complexity of the program (i.e. tail calls are implemented as required
by Scheme even when they involve traced procedures).
</p>
<p>The <code>untrace</code> procedure stops tracing calls to the specified
procedures. When no argument is passed to the <code>trace</code>
procedure, the list of procedures currently being traced is returned.
The void object is returned by the <code>trace</code> procedure when it is
passed one or more arguments. When no argument is passed to the
<code>untrace</code> procedure stops all tracing and returns the void
object. A compiled procedure may be traced but only if it is bound to
a global variable.

<p>The <code>step</code> procedure enables single-stepping mode. After the call
to <code>step</code> the computation will stop just before the interpreter
executes the next evaluation step (as defined by
<code>step-level-set!</code>). A nested REPL is then started. Note that
because single-stepping is stopped by the REPL whenever the prompt is
displayed it is pointless to enter <code>(step)</code> by itself. On the
other hand entering <code>(begin (step) <var>expr</var>)</code> will evaluate
<var>expr</var> in single-stepping mode.
</p>
<p>The procedure <code>step-level-set!</code> sets the stepping level which
determines the granularity of the evaluation steps when single-stepping
is enabled. The stepping level <var>level</var> must be an exact integer in
the range 0 to 7. At a level of 0, the interpreter ignores
single-stepping mode. At higher levels the interpreter stops the
computation just before it performs the following operations, depending
on the stepping level:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
procedure call
</li><li>
<code>delay</code> special form and operations at lower levels
</li><li>
<code>lambda</code> special form and operations at lower levels
</li><li>
<code>define</code> special form and operations at lower levels
</li><li>
<code>set!</code> special form and operations at lower levels
</li><li>
variable reference and operations at lower levels
</li><li>
constant reference and operations at lower levels
</li></ol>
<p>The default stepping level is 7.
</p>
<p>For example:
</p>

<p>The <code>break</code> procedure places a breakpoint on each of the
specified procedures. When a procedure is called that has a
breakpoint, the interpreter will enable single-stepping mode (as if
<code>step</code> had been called). This typically causes the computation
to stop soon inside the procedure if the stepping level is high
enough.
</p>
<p>The <code>unbreak</code> procedure removes the breakpoints on the specified
procedures. With no argument, <code>break</code> returns the list of
procedures currently containing breakpoints. The void object is
returned by <code>break</code> if it is passed one or more arguments. With
no argument <code>unbreak</code> removes all the breakpoints and returns the
void object. A breakpoint can be placed on a compiled procedure but
only if it is bound to a global variable.
</p>
<p>For example:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample">> <b>(define (double x) (+ x x))</b>

declaration instead.]
</p>
<p>The parameter object <code>generate-proper-tail-calls</code> is bound to a
boolean value controlling how the interpreter handles tail calls.
When it is bound to <code>#f</code> the interpreter will treat tail calls
like nontail calls, that is a new continuation will be created for the
call. This setting is useful for debugging, because when a primitive
signals an error the location information will point to the call site
of the primitive even if this primitive was called with a tail call.
The initial value of this parameter object is <code>#t</code>, which means
that a tail call will reuse the continuation of the calling function.
</p>
<p>This parameter object only affects code that is subsequently processed
by <code>load</code> or <code>eval</code>, or entered at the REPL.
</p>

<h2 class="section">5.5 Console line-editing</h2>
<p>The console implements a simple Scheme-friendly line-editing
user-interface that is enabled by default. It offers parentheses
balancing, a history of previous commands, symbol completion, and
several emacs-compatible keyboard commands. The user’s input is
displayed in a bold font and the output produced by the system is in a
plain font. The history of previous commands is saved in the file
‘<tt>~/.gambit_history</tt>’. It is restored when a REPL is started.
</p>
<p>Symbol completion is triggered with the tab key. When the cursor is
after a sequence of characters that can form a symbol, typing the tab
key will search the symbol table for the first symbol (in alphabetical
order) that begins with that sequence and insert that symbol. Typing
the tab key in succession will cycle through all symbols with that
prefix. When all possible symbols have been shown or there are no
possible completions, the text reverts to the uncompleted symbol and
the bell is rung.
</p>
<p>Here are the keyboard commands available (where the ‘<samp><code>M-</code></samp>’
prefix means the escape key is typed and the ‘<samp><code>C-</code></samp>’ prefix
means the control key is pressed):

<h2 class="section">5.6 Emacs interface</h2>

<a name="index-gambit_002eel"></a>
<p>Gambit comes with the Emacs package ‘<samp>gambit.el</samp>’ which provides a
nice environment for running Gambit from within the Emacs editor.
This package filters the standard output of the Gambit process and
when it intercepts a location information (in the format
‘<samp><var>stream</var>@<var>line</var>.<var>column</var></samp>’ where <var>stream</var> is
either ‘<samp>(stdin)</samp>’ when the expression was obtained from standard
input, ‘<samp>(console)</samp>’ when the expression was obtained from the
console, or a string naming a file) it opens a window to highlight the
corresponding expression.
</p>
<p>To use this package, make sure the file ‘<samp>gambit.el</samp>’ is accessible
from your load-path and that the following lines are in your
‘<samp>.emacs</samp>’ file:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample"><b></b>(autoload 'gambit-inferior-mode "gambit" "Hook Gambit mode into cmuscheme.")
(autoload 'gambit-mode "gambit" "Hook Gambit mode into scheme.")
(add-hook 'inferior-scheme-mode-hook (function gambit-inferior-mode))
(add-hook 'scheme-mode-hook (function gambit-mode))
(setq scheme-program-name "gsi -:d-")
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>Alternatively, if you don’t mind always loading this package,
you can simply add this line to your ‘<samp>.emacs</samp>’ file:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample"><b></b>(require 'gambit)
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>You can then start an inferior Gambit process by typing ‘<samp>M-x
run-scheme</samp>’. The commands provided in ‘<samp>cmuscheme</samp>’ mode will be
available in the Gambit interaction buffer (i.e. ‘<samp>*scheme*</samp>’) and in
buffers attached to Scheme source files. Here is a list of the most
useful commands (for a complete list type ‘<samp>C-h m</samp>’ in the Gambit
interaction buffer):
</p><dl compact="compact">
<dt> <code>C-x C-e</code></dt>
<dd><p>Evaluate the expression which is before the cursor (the expression will
be copied to the Gambit interaction buffer).
</p></dd>
<dt> <code>C-c C-z</code></dt>
<dd><p>Switch to Gambit interaction buffer.
</p></dd>
<dt> <code>C-c C-l</code></dt>
<dd><p>Load a file (file attached to current buffer is default) using
<code>(load <var>file</var>)</code>.
</p></dd>
<dt> <code>C-c C-k</code></dt>
<dd><p>Compile a file (file attached to current buffer is default) using
<code>(compile-file <var>file</var>)</code>.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>The file ‘<samp>gambit.el</samp>’ provides these additional commands:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt> <code>F8 <span class="roman"><i>or</i></span> C-c c</code></dt>
<dd><p>Continue the computation (same as typing ‘<samp>#||#,c;</samp>’ to the REPL).
</p></dd>
<dt> <code>F9 <span class="roman"><i>or</i></span> C-c ]</code></dt>
<dd><p>Move to newer frame (same as typing ‘<samp>#||#,-;</samp>’ to the REPL).
</p></dd>
<dt> <code>F10 <span class="roman"><i>or</i></span> C-c [</code></dt>
<dd><p>Move to older frame (same as typing ‘<samp>#||#,+;</samp>’ to the REPL).
</p></dd>
<dt> <code>F11 <span class="roman"><i>or</i></span> C-c s</code></dt>
<dd><p>Step the computation (same as typing ‘<samp>#||#,s;</samp>’ to the REPL).
</p></dd>
<dt> <code>F12 <span class="roman"><i>or</i></span> C-c l</code></dt>
<dd><p>Leap the computation (same as typing ‘<samp>#||#,l;</samp>’ to the REPL).
</p></dd>
<dt> <code>C-c _</code></dt>
<dd><p>Removes the last window that was opened to highlight an expression.
</p></dd>
</dl>

<p>These forms are extended versions of the <code>lambda</code> and <code>define</code>
special forms of standard Scheme. They allow the use of optional formal
arguments, either positional or named, and support the syntax and semantics
of the DSSSL standard.
</p>
<p>When the procedure introduced by a <code>lambda</code> (or <code>define</code>) is
applied to a list of actual arguments, the formal and actual arguments
are processed as specified in the R4RS if the <i>lambda-formals</i> (or
<i>define-formals</i>) is a <i>r4rs-lambda-formals</i> (or
<i>r4rs-define-formals</i>).
</p>
<p>If the <i>formal-argument-list</i> matches
<i>dsssl-formal-argument-list</i> or <i>extended-formal-argument-list</i>
they are processed as follows:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
<i>Variable</i>s in <i>required-formal-argument</i>s are bound to
successive actual arguments starting with the first actual argument. It
shall be an error if there are fewer actual arguments than
<i>required-formal-argument</i>s.
</li><li>
Next <i>variable</i>s in <i>optional-formal-argument</i>s are bound to
remaining actual arguments. If there are fewer remaining actual
arguments than <i>optional-formal-argument</i>s, then the variables are
bound to the result of evaluating <i>initializer</i>, if one was
specified, and otherwise to <code>#f</code>. The <i>initializer</i> is
evaluated in an environment in which all previous formal arguments have
been bound.
</li><li>
If <code>#!key</code> does not appear in the <i>formal-argument-list</i>
and there is no <i>rest-formal-argument</i> then it shall be an error
if there are any remaining actual arguments.
</li><li>
If <code>#!key</code> does not appear in the <i>formal-argument-list</i>
and there is a <i>rest-formal-argument</i> then the
<i>rest-formal-argument</i> is bound to a list of all remaining actual
arguments.
</li><li>
If <code>#!key</code> appears in the <i>formal-argument-list</i> and there is
no <i>rest-formal-argument</i> then there shall be an even number of
remaining actual arguments. These are interpreted as a series of
pairs, where the first member of each pair is a keyword specifying the
argument name, and the second is the corresponding value. It shall be
an error if the first member of a pair is not a keyword. It shall be
an error if the argument name is not the same as a variable in a
<i>keyword-formal-argument</i>. If the same argument name occurs more
than once in the list of actual arguments, then the first value is
used. If there is no actual argument for a particular
<i>keyword-formal-argument</i>, then the variable is bound to the
result of evaluating <i>initializer</i> if one was specified, and
otherwise to <code>#f</code>. The <i>initializer</i> is evaluated in an
environment in which all previous formal arguments have been bound.
</li><li>
If <code>#!key</code> appears in the <i>formal-argument-list</i> and there is
a <i>rest-formal-argument</i> <b>before</b> the <code>#!key</code> then there
may be an even or odd number of remaining actual arguments and the
<i>rest-formal-argument</i> is bound to a list of all remaining actual
arguments. Then, these remaining actual arguments are scanned from
left to right in pairs, stopping at the first pair whose first element
is not a keyword. Each pair whose first element is a keyword matching
the name of a <i>keyword-formal-argument</i> gives the value (i.e. the
second element of the pair) of the corresponding formal argument. If
the same argument name occurs more than once in the list of actual
arguments, then the first value is used. If there is no actual
argument for a particular <i>keyword-formal-argument</i>, then the
variable is bound to the result of evaluating <i>initializer</i> if one
was specified, and otherwise to <code>#f</code>. The <i>initializer</i> is
evaluated in an environment in which all previous formal arguments
have been bound.
</li><li>
If <code>#!key</code> appears in the <i>formal-argument-list</i> and there is
a <i>rest-formal-argument</i> <b>after</b> the <code>#!key</code> then there may
be an even or odd number of remaining actual arguments. The remaining
actual arguments are scanned from left to right in pairs, stopping at
the first pair whose first element is not a keyword. Each pair shall
have as its first element a keyword matching the name of a
<i>keyword-formal-argument</i>; the second element gives the value of
the corresponding formal argument. If the same argument name occurs
more than once in the list of actual arguments, then the first value
is used. If there is no actual argument for a particular
<i>keyword-formal-argument</i>, then the variable is bound to the
result of evaluating <i>initializer</i> if one was specified, and
otherwise to <code>#f</code>. The <i>initializer</i> is evaluated in an
environment in which all previous formal arguments have been bound.
Finally, the <i>rest-formal-argument</i> is bound to the list of the
actual arguments that were not scanned (i.e. after the last
keyword/value pair).
</li></ol>
<p>In all cases it is an error for a <i>variable</i> to appear more than
once in a <i>formal-argument-list</i>.
</p>
<p>Note that this specification is compatible with the DSSSL language
standard (i.e. a correct DSSSL program will have the same semantics
when run with Gambit).
</p>
<p>It is unspecified whether variables receive their value by binding or by
assignment. Currently the compiler and interpreter use different
methods, which can lead to different semantics if
<code>call-with-current-continuation</code> is used in an <i>initializer</i>.
Note that this is irrelevant for DSSSL programs because
<code>call-with-current-continuation</code> does not exist in DSSSL.

<p>These procedures implement the <em>box</em> data type. A box is a
cell containing a single mutable field. The lexical syntax
of a box containing the object <var>obj</var> is <code>#&<var>obj</var></code>
(see section <a href="#Box-syntax">Box syntax</a>).
</p>
<p>The procedure <code>box</code> returns a new box object whose content is
initialized to <var>obj</var>. The procedure <code>box?</code> returns <code>#t</code>
if <var>obj</var> is a box, and otherwise returns <code>#f</code>. The procedure
<code>unbox</code> returns the content of the box <var>box</var>. The procedure
<code>set-box!</code> changes the content of the box <var>box</var> to <var>obj</var>.
The procedure <code>set-box!</code> returns an unspecified value.

<p>Define <i>name</i> as a macro special form which expands into <i>body</i>.
This form can only appear where a <code>define</code> form is acceptable.
Macros are lexically scoped. The scope of a local macro definition
extends from the definition to the end of the body of the surrounding
binding construct. Macros defined at the top level of a Scheme module
are only visible in that module. To have access to the macro
definitions contained in a file, that file must be included using the
<code>include</code> special form. Macros which are visible from the REPL are
also visible during the compilation of Scheme source files.

<p>Select the degree to which the compiler inlines user procedures.
<var>n</var> is the upper-bound, in percent, on code expansion that will
result from inlining. Thus, a value of 300 indicates that the size of
the program will not grow by more than 300 percent (i.e. it will be at
most 4 times the size of the original). A value of 0 disables inlining.
The size of a program is the total number of subexpressions it contains
(i.e. the size of an expression is one plus the size of its immediate
subexpressions). The following conditions must hold for a procedure to
be inlined: inlining the procedure must not cause the size of the call
site to grow more than specified by the inlining limit, the site of
definition (the <code>define</code> or <code>lambda</code>) and the call site must
be declared as <code>(inline)</code>, and the compiler must be able to find
the definition of the procedure referred to at the call site (if the
procedure is bound to a global variable, the definition site must have a
<code>(block)</code> declaration). Note that inlining usually causes much
less code expansion than specified by the inlining limit (an expansion
around 10% is common for <var>n</var>=350).

procedure will be visible in the backtrace produced by the REPL’s
‘<samp>,b</samp>’ command even when the call is a tail call. Be advised that
this does cause stack space to be consumed for tail calls which may
cause the stack to overflow when performing long iterations with tail

<p>Remove (or preserve) the dead local variables in the environment.
Preserving the dead local variables is useful for debugging because
continuations will contain the dead variables. Thus, if the code is
also compiled with the declaration ‘<samp>debug-environments</samp>’
the ‘<samp>,e</samp>’, ‘<samp>,ed</samp>’, ‘<samp>,be</samp>’, and ‘<samp>,bed</samp>’ REPL
commands will display the dead variables. On the other hand,
preserving the dead local variables may change the space complexity of
the program (i.e. some of the data that would normally be reclaimed by
the garbage collector will not be). Note that due to other compiler
optimizations some dead local variables may be removed regardless of
this declaration.

definition is dead if it is not referenced by toplevel expressions
of the program or toplevel definitions that aren’t dead (regardless
of the evaluation of its expression causing a side-effect). When a
module is separately compiled and some of its definitions are only
used by other modules, this declaration must be used with care to keep

<p>These procedures provide access to internal first-class continuations
which are represented using continuation objects distinct from procedures.
</p>
<p>The procedure <code>continuation?</code> returns <code>#t</code> when <var>obj</var> is
a continuation object and <code>#f</code> otherwise.
</p>
<p>The procedure <code>continuation-capture</code> is similar to the
<code>call/cc</code> procedure but it represents the continuation with a
continuation object. The <var>proc</var> parameter must be a procedure
accepting a single argument. The procedure
<code>continuation-capture</code> reifies its continuation and calls
<var>proc</var> with the corresponding continuation object as its sole
argument. Like for <code>call/cc</code>, the implicit continuation of the
call to <var>proc</var> is the implicit continuation of the call to
<code>continuation-capture</code>.
</p>
<p>The procedure <code>continuation-graft</code> performs a procedure call to
the procedure <var>proc</var> with arguments <var>obj</var>… and the
implicit continuation corresponding to the continuation object
<var>cont</var>. The current continuation of the call to procedure
<code>continuation-graft</code> is ignored.
</p>
<p>The procedure <code>continuation-return</code> invokes the implicit
continuation corresponding to the continuation object <var>cont</var> with
the result(s) <var>obj</var>…. This procedure can be easily
defined in terms of <code>continuation-graft</code>:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample">(define (continuation-return cont . objs)

<h1 class="chapter">8. Characters and strings</h1>
<p>Gambit supports the Unicode character encoding standard. Scheme
characters can be any of the characters whose Unicode encoding is in
the range 0 to #x10ffff (inclusive) but not in the range #xd800 to
#xdfff. Source code can also contain any Unicode character, however
to read such source code properly <code>gsi</code> and <code>gsc</code> must be
told which character encoding to use for reading the source code
(i.e. ASCII, ISO-8859-1, UTF-8, etc). This can be done by specifying
the runtime option ‘<samp>-:f</samp>’ when <code>gsi</code> and <code>gsc</code> are
started.

<h2 class="section">9.4 Bitwise-operations on exact integers</h2>
<p>The procedures defined in this section are compatible with the
withdrawn “Integer Bitwise-operation Library SRFI” (SRFI 33). Note
that some of the procedures specified in SRFI 33 are not provided.
</p>
<p>Most procedures in this section are specified in terms of the binary
representation of exact integers. The two’s complement representation
is assumed where an integer is composed of an infinite number of bits.
The upper section of an integer (the most significant bits) are either
an infinite sequence of ones when the integer is negative, or they are
an infinite sequence of zeros when the integer is nonnegative.

<p>This procedure returns an exact integer whose bits combine the bits
from <var>n2</var> and <var>n3</var> depending on <var>n1</var>. The bit at index
<var>i</var> of the result depends only on the bits at index <var>i</var> in

<p>Fixnum-overflow-exception objects are raised by some of the fixnum
specific procedures when the result is larger than can fit in a
fixnum. The parameter <var>exc</var> must be a fixnum-overflow-exception
object.
</p>
<p>The procedure <code>fixnum-overflow-exception?</code> returns
<code>#t</code> when <var>obj</var> is a fixnum-overflow-exception
object and <code>#f</code> otherwise.
</p>
<p>The procedure <code>fixnum-overflow-exception-procedure</code>
returns the procedure that raised <var>exc</var>.
</p>
<p>The procedure <code>fixnum-overflow-exception-arguments</code>
returns the list of arguments of the procedure that raised <var>exc</var>.

<p>The procedures and variables defined in this section are compatible
with the “Sources of Random Bits SRFI” (SRFI 27). The
implementation is based on Pierre L’Ecuyer’s MRG32k3a pseudo random
number generator. At the heart of SRFI 27’s interface is the random
source type which encapsulates the state of a pseudo random number
generator. The state of a random source object changes every time a
pseudo random number is generated from this random source object.

<p>These procedures change the state of the random source object
<var>random-source</var>. The procedure <code>random-source-randomize!</code>
sets the random source object to a state that depends on the current
time (which for typical uses can be considered to randomly initialize
the state). The procedure <code>random-source-pseudo-randomize!</code>
sets the random source object to a state that is determined only by
the current state and the nonnegative exact integers <var>i</var> and
<var>j</var>. For both procedures the value returned is unspecified.

<h1 class="chapter">10. Homogeneous vectors</h1>
<a name="index-homogeneous-vectors"></a>
<p>Homogeneous vectors are vectors containing raw numbers of the same
type (signed or unsigned exact integers or inexact reals). There are
10 types of homogeneous vectors:
‘<samp>s8vector</samp>’ (vector of exact integers in the range -2^7 to 2^7-1),
‘<samp>u8vector</samp>’ (vector of exact integers in the range 0 to 2^8-1),
‘<samp>s16vector</samp>’ (vector of exact integers in the range -2^15 to 2^15-1),
‘<samp>u16vector</samp>’ (vector of exact integers in the range 0 to 2^16-1),
‘<samp>s32vector</samp>’ (vector of exact integers in the range -2^31 to 2^31-1),
‘<samp>u32vector</samp>’ (vector of exact integers in the range 0 to 2^32-1),
‘<samp>s64vector</samp>’ (vector of exact integers in the range -2^63 to 2^63-1),
‘<samp>u64vector</samp>’ (vector of exact integers in the range 0 to 2^64-1),
‘<samp>f32vector</samp>’ (vector of 32 bit floating point numbers),
and ‘<samp>f64vector</samp>’ (vector of 64 bit floating point numbers).
</p>
<p>The lexical syntax of homogeneous vectors is specified in
<a href="#Homogeneous-vector-syntax">Homogeneous vector syntax</a>.
</p>
<p>The procedures available for homogeneous vectors, listed below, are
the analog of the normal vector/string procedures for each of the
homogeneous vector types.

<a name="index-deserialization"></a>
<p>The procedure <code>object->u8vector</code> returns a u8vector that contains
the sequence of bytes that encodes the object <var>obj</var>. The
procedure <code>u8vector->object</code> decodes the sequence of bytes
contained in the u8vector <var>u8vector</var>, which was produced by the
procedure <code>object->u8vector</code>, and reconstructs an object
structurally equal to the original object. In other words the
procedures <code>object->u8vector</code> and <code>u8vector->object</code>
respectively perform serialization and deserialization of Scheme
objects. Note that some objects are non-serializable (e.g. threads,
wills, some types of ports, and any object containing a
non-serializable object).
</p>
<p>The optional <var>encoder</var> and <var>decoder</var> parameters are single
parameter procedures which default to the identity function. The
<var>encoder</var> procedure is called during serialization. As the
serializer walks through <var>obj</var>, it calls the <var>encoder</var>
procedure on each sub-object <var>X</var> that is encountered. The
<var>encoder</var> transforms the object <var>X</var> into an object <var>Y</var>
that will be serialized instead of <var>X</var>. Similarly the
<var>decoder</var> procedure is called during deserialization. When an
object <var>Y</var> is encountered, the <var>decoder</var> procedure is called
to transform it into the object <var>X</var> that is the result of
deserialization.
</p>
<p>The <var>encoder</var> and <var>decoder</var> procedures are useful to customize
the serialized representation of objects. In particular, it can be
used to define the semantics of serializing objects, such as threads
and ports, that would otherwise not be serializable. The
<var>decoder</var> procedure is typically the inverse of the <var>encoder</var>
procedure, i.e. <code>(<var>decoder</var> (<var>encoder</var> <var>X</var>))</code> =
<code><var>X</var></code>.

<p>All Scheme objects are uniquely identified with a serial number which
is a nonnegative exact integer. The <code>object->serial-number</code> procedure
returns the serial number of object <var>obj</var>. This serial number is
only allocated the first time the <code>object->serial-number</code>
procedure is called on that object. Objects which do not have an
external textual representation that can be read by the <code>read</code>
procedure, use an external textual representation that includes a
serial number of the form <code>#<var>n</var></code>. Consequently, the
procedures <code>write</code>, <code>pretty-print</code>, etc will call the
<code>object->serial-number</code> procedure to get the serial number, and
this may cause the serial number to be allocated.
</p>
<p>The <code>serial-number->object</code> procedure takes an exact integer
parameter <var>n</var> and returns the object whose serial number is
<var>n</var>. If no object currently exists with that serial number,
<var>default</var> is returned if it is specified, otherwise an
unbound-serial-number-exception object is raised. The reader defines
the following abbreviation for calling <code>serial-number->object</code>:
the syntax <code>#<var>n</var></code>, where <var>n</var> is a sequence of decimal
digits and it is not followed by ‘<samp><code>=</code></samp>’ or ‘<samp><code>#</code></samp>’,
is equivalent to the list <code>(serial-number->object <var>n</var>)</code>.

<h2 class="section">11.2 Weak references</h2>
<p>The garbage collector is responsible for reclaiming objects that are
no longer needed by the program. This is done by analyzing the
reachability graph of all objects from the roots (i.e. the global
variables, the runnable threads, permanently allocated objects such as
procedures defined in a compiled file, nonexecutable wills, etc). If
a root or a reachable object <var>X</var> contains a reference to an object
<var>Y</var> then <var>Y</var> is reachable. As a general rule, unreachable
objects are reclaimed by the garbage collector.
</p>
<p>There are two types of references: strong references and weak
references. Most objects, including pairs, vectors, records and
closures, contain strong references. An object <var>X</var> is
<em>strongly reachable</em> if there is a path from the roots to <var>X</var>
that traverses only strong references. Weak references only occur in
wills and tables. There are two types of weak references: will-weak
references and table-weak references. If all paths from the roots to
an object <var>Y</var> traverse at least one table-weak reference, then
<var>Y</var> will be reclaimed by the garbage collector. The will-weak
references are used for finalization and are explained in the next
section.

<h3 class="subsection">11.2.1 Wills</h3>
<p>The following procedures implement the <em>will</em> data type. Will
objects provide support for finalization. A will is an object that
contains a will-weak reference to a <var>testator</var> object (the object
attached to the will), and a strong reference to an <var>action</var>
procedure which is a one parameter procedure which is called when the
will is executed.

<p>The <code>make-will</code> procedure creates a will object with the given
<var>testator</var> object and <var>action</var> procedure. The <code>will?</code>
procedure tests if <var>obj</var> is a will object. The
<code>will-testator</code> procedure gets the testator object attached to
the <var>will</var>. The <code>will-execute!</code> procedure executes
<var>will</var>.
</p>
<p>A will becomes <em>executable</em> when its <var>testator</var> object is not
strongly reachable (i.e. the <var>testator</var> object is either
unreachable or only reachable using paths from the roots that traverse
at least one weak reference). Some objects, including symbols, small
exact integers (fixnums), booleans and characters, are considered to
be always strongly reachable.
</p>
<p>When the runtime system detects that a will has become executable the
current computation is interrupted, the will’s testator is set to
<code>#f</code> and the will’s action procedure is called with the will’s
testator as the sole argument. Currently only the garbage collector
detects when wills become executable but this may change in future
versions of Gambit (for example the compiler could perform an analysis
to infer will executability at compile time). The garbage collector
builds a list of all executable wills. Shortly after a garbage
collection, the action procedures of these wills will be called. The
link from the will to the action procedure is severed when the action
procedure is called.
</p>
<p>Note that the testator object will not be reclaimed during the garbage
collection that determined executability of the will. It is only when
an object is not reachable from the roots that it is reclaimed by the
garbage collector.
</p>
<p>A remarkable feature of wills is that an action procedure can
“resurrect” an object. An action procedure could for example assign
the testator object to a global variable or create a new will with the
same testator object.
</p>

</p>

<h3 class="subsection">11.2.2 Tables</h3>
<p>The following procedures implement the <em>table</em> data type. Tables
are heterogenous structures whose elements are indexed by keys which
are arbitrary objects. Tables are similar to association lists but
are abstract and the access time for large tables is typically smaller.
Each key contained in the table is bound to a value. The length of
the table is the number of key/value bindings it contains. New
key/value bindings can be added to a table, the value bound to a key
can be changed, and existing key/value bindings can be removed.
</p>
<p>The references to the keys can either be all strong or all table-weak
and the references to the values can either be all strong or all
table-weak. The garbage collector removes key/value bindings from a
table when 1) the key is a table-weak reference and the key is
unreachable or only reachable using paths from the roots that traverse
at least one table-weak reference, or 2) the value is a table-weak
reference and the value is unreachable or only reachable using paths
from the roots that traverse at least one table-weak reference.
Key/value bindings that are removed by the garbage collector are
reclaimed immediately.
</p>
<p>Although there are several possible ways of implementing tables, the
current implementation uses hashing with open-addressing. This is
space efficient and provides constant-time access. Hash tables are
automatically resized to maintain the load within specified bounds.
The load is the number of active entries (the length of the table)
divided by the total number of entries in the hash table.
</p>
<p>Tables are parameterized with a key comparison procedure. By default
the <code>equal?</code> procedure is used, but <code>eq?</code>, <code>eqv?</code>,
<code>string=?</code>, <code>string-ci=?</code>, or a user defined procedure can
also be used. To support arbitrary key comparison procedures, tables
are also parameterized with a hashing procedure accepting a key as its
single parameter and returning a fixnum result. The hashing procedure
<var>hash</var> must be consistent with the key comparison procedure
<var>test</var>, that is, for any two keys <var>k1</var> and <var>k2</var> in the
table, <code>(<var>test</var> <var>k1</var> <var>k2</var>)</code> implies <code>(=
(<var>hash</var> <var>k1</var>) (<var>hash</var> <var>k2</var>))</code>. A default hashing
procedure consistent with the key comparison procedure is provided by
the system. The default hashing procedure generally gives good
performance when the key comparison procedure is <code>eq?</code>,
<code>eqv?</code>, <code>equal?</code>, <code>string=?</code>, and <code>string-ci=?</code>.
However, for user defined key comparison procedures, the default
hashing procedure always returns 0. This degrades the performance of
the table to a linear search.
</p>
<p>Tables can be compared for equality using the <code>equal?</code> procedure.
Two tables <code><var>X</var></code> and <code><var>Y</var></code> are considered equal by
<code>equal?</code> when they have the same weakness attributes, the same
key comparison procedure, the same hashing procedure, the same length,
and for all the keys <code><var>k</var></code> in <code><var>X</var></code>, <code>(equal?

<p>The procedure <code>make-table</code> returns a new table. The optional keyword
parameters specify various parameters of the table.
</p>
<p>The <var>size</var> parameter is a nonnegative exact integer indicating
the expected length of the table. The system uses <var>size</var> to
choose an appropriate initial size of the hash table so that it does not
need to be resized too often.
</p>
<p>The <var>init</var> parameter indicates a value that is associated to keys
that are not in the table. When <var>init</var> is not specified, no value
is associated to keys that are not in the table.
</p>
<p>The <var>weak-keys</var> and <var>weak-values</var> parameters are extended
booleans indicating respectively whether the keys and values are
table-weak references (true) or strong references (false). By default
the keys and values are strong references.
</p>
<p>The <var>test</var> parameter indicates the key comparison procedure. The
default key comparison procedure is <code>equal?</code>. The key comparison
procedures <code>eq?</code>, <code>eqv?</code>, <code>equal?</code>, <code>string=?</code>,
and <code>string-ci=?</code> are special because the system will use a
reasonably good hash procedure when none is specified.
</p>
<p>The <var>hash</var> parameter indicates the hash procedure. This procedure
must accept a single key parameter, return a fixnum, and be consistent
with the key comparison procedure. When <var>hash</var> is not specified, a
default hash procedure is used. The default hash procedure is
reasonably good when the key comparison procedure is <code>eq?</code>,
<code>eqv?</code>, <code>equal?</code>, <code>string=?</code>, or <code>string-ci=?</code>.
</p>
<p>The <var>min-load</var> and <var>max-load</var> parameters are real numbers that
indicate the minimum and maximum load of the table respectively. The
table is resized when adding or deleting a key/value binding would
bring the table’s load outside of this range. The <var>min-load</var>
parameter must be no less than 0.05 and the <var>max-load</var> parameter
must be no greater than 0.95. Moreover the difference between
<var>min-load</var> and <var>max-load</var> must be at least 0.20. When
<var>min-load</var> is not specified, the value 0.45 is used. When
<var>max-load</var> is not specified, the value 0.90 is used.

the record. The <code>define-structure</code> expands into a set of definitions
of the following procedures:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
‘<tt>make-</tt><i>name</i>’ – A <var>k</var> argument procedure which constructs
a new record from the value of its <var>k</var> fields.
</li><li>
‘<i>name</i><tt>?</tt>’ – A procedure which tests if its single argument
is of the given record type.
</li><li>
‘<i>name</i><tt>-</tt><i>field</i>’ – For each field, a procedure taking
as its single argument a value of the given record type and returning
the content of the corresponding field of the record.
</li><li>
‘<i>name</i><tt>-</tt><i>field</i><tt>-set!</tt>’ – For each field, a two
argument procedure taking as its first argument a value of the given
record type. The second argument gets assigned to the corresponding
field of the record and the void object is returned.
</li></ul>
<p>Record data types have a printed representation that includes the name
of the type and the name and value of each field. Record data types
can not be read by the <code>read</code> procedure.
</p>
<p>For example:

<p>Multithreading is a paradigm that is well suited for building complex
systems such as: servers, GUIs, and high-level operating systems.
Gambit’s thread system offers mechanisms for creating threads of
execution and for synchronizing them. The thread system also supports
features which are useful in a real-time context, such as priorities,
priority inheritance and timeouts.
</p>
<p>The thread system provides the following data types:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Thread (a virtual processor which shares object space with all other
threads)
</li><li>
Mutex (a mutual exclusion device, also known as a lock and binary
semaphore)
</li><li>
Condition variable (a set of blocked threads)
</li></ul>

<h2 class="section">13.2 Thread objects</h2>
<p>A <em>running thread</em> is a thread that is currently executing. A
<em>runnable thread</em> is a thread that is ready to execute or running.
A thread is <em>blocked</em> if it is waiting for a mutex to become
unlocked, an I/O operation to become possible, the end of a “sleep”
period, etc. A <em>new thread</em> is a thread that has been allocated
but has not yet been initialized. An <em>initialized thread</em> is a
thread that can be made runnable. A new thread becomes runnable when
it is started by calling <code>thread-start!</code>. A <em>terminated
thread</em> is a thread that can no longer become runnable (but
<em>deadlocked threads</em> are not considered terminated). The only
valid transitions between the thread states are from new to
initialized, from initialized to runnable, between runnable and
blocked, and from any state except new to terminated as indicated in
the following diagram:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample"><b></b> <b>unblock</b>
<b>start</b> <-------
NEW -------> INITIALIZED -------> RUNNABLE -------> BLOCKED
\ | <b>block</b> /
\ v /
+-----> TERMINATED <----+
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>Each thread has a <em>base priority</em>, which is a real number (where a
higher numerical value means a higher priority), a <em>priority boost</em>,
which is a nonnegative real number representing the priority increase
applied to a thread when it blocks, and a <em>quantum</em>, which is a
nonnegative real number representing a duration in seconds.
</p>
<p>Each thread has a <em>specific field</em> which can be used in an
application specific way to associate data with the thread (some thread
systems call this “thread local storage”).
</p>
<p>Each thread has a <em>mailbox</em> which is used for inter-thread
communication.

<h2 class="section">13.3 Mutex objects</h2>
<p>A mutex can be in one of four states: <em>locked</em> (either <em>owned</em>
or <em>not owned</em>) and <em>unlocked</em> (either <em>abandoned</em> or
<em>not abandoned</em>).
</p>
<p>An attempt to lock a mutex only succeeds if the mutex is in an unlocked
state, otherwise the current thread will wait. A mutex in the
locked/owned state has an associated <em>owner thread</em>, which by
convention is the thread that is responsible for unlocking the mutex
(this case is typical of critical sections implemented as “lock mutex,
perform operation, unlock mutex”). A mutex in the locked/not-owned
state is not linked to a particular thread.
</p>
<p>A mutex becomes locked when a thread locks it using the
‘<samp>mutex-lock!</samp>’ primitive. A mutex becomes unlocked/abandoned when
the owner of a locked/owned mutex terminates. A mutex becomes
unlocked/not-abandoned when a thread unlocks it using the
‘<samp>mutex-unlock!</samp>’ primitive.
</p>
<p>The mutex primitives do not implement <em>recursive mutex semantics</em>.
An attempt to lock a mutex that is locked implies that the current
thread waits even if the mutex is owned by the current thread (this can
lead to a deadlock if no other thread unlocks the mutex).
</p>
<p>Each mutex has a <em>specific field</em> which can be used in an
application specific way to associate data with the mutex.

<h2 class="section">13.4 Condition variable objects</h2>
<p>A condition variable represents a set of blocked threads. These blocked
threads are waiting for a certain condition to become true. When a
thread modifies some program state that might make the condition true,
the thread unblocks some number of threads (one or all depending on the
primitive used) so they can check if the condition is now true. This
allows complex forms of interthread synchronization to be expressed more
conveniently than with mutexes alone.

<p>Each condition variable has a <em>specific field</em> which can be used in
an application specific way to associate data with the condition
variable.

<a name="Fairness-1"></a>
<h2 class="section">13.5 Fairness</h2>
<p>In various situations the scheduler must select one thread from a set of
threads (e.g. which thread to run when a running thread blocks or
expires its quantum, which thread to unblock when a mutex becomes
unlocked or a condition variable is signaled). The constraints on the
selection process determine the scheduler’s <em>fairness</em>. The
selection depends on the order in which threads become runnable or
blocked and on the <em>priority</em> attached to the threads.
</p>
<p>The definition of fairness requires the notion of time ordering,
i.e. “event <var>A</var> occured before event <var>B</var>”. For the purpose of
establishing time ordering, the scheduler uses a clock with a discrete,
usually variable, resolution (a “tick”). Events occuring in a given
tick can be considered to be simultaneous (i.e. if event <var>A</var> occured
before event <var>B</var> in real time, then the scheduler will claim that
event <var>A</var> occured before event <var>B</var> unless both events fall
within the same tick, in which case the scheduler arbitrarily chooses a
time ordering).
</p>
<p>Each thread <var>T</var> has three priorities which affect fairness; the
<em>base priority</em>, the <em>boosted priority</em>, and the <em>effective
priority</em>.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
The <em>base priority</em> is the value contained in <var>T</var>’s <em>base
priority</em> field (which is set with the ‘<samp>thread-base-priority-set!</samp>’
primitive).
</li><li>
<var>T</var>’s <em>boosted flag</em> field contains a boolean that affects
<var>T</var>’s <em>boosted priority</em>. When the boosted flag field is false,
the boosted priority is equal to the base priority, otherwise the
boosted priority is equal to the base priority plus the value contained
in <var>T</var>’s <em>priority boost</em> field (which is set with the
‘<samp>thread-priority-boost-set!</samp>’ primitive). The boosted flag field is
set to false when a thread is created, when its quantum expires, and
when <em>thread-yield!</em> is called. The boosted flag field is set to
true when a thread blocks. By carefully choosing the base priority and
priority boost, relatively to the other threads, it is possible to set
up an interactive thread so that it has good I/O response time without
being a CPU hog when it performs long computations.
</li><li>
The <em>effective priority</em> is equal to the maximum of <var>T</var>’s
boosted priority and the effective priority of all the threads that are
blocked on a mutex owned by <var>T</var>. This <em>priority inheritance</em>
avoids priority inversion problems that would prevent a high priority
thread blocked at the entry of a critical section to progress because a
low priority thread inside the critical section is preempted for an
arbitrary long time by a medium priority thread.
</li></ul>
<p>Let <var>P</var>(<var>T</var>) be the effective priority of thread <var>T</var> and
let <var>R</var>(<var>T</var>) be the most recent time when one of the following
events occurred for thread <var>T</var>, thus making it runnable: <var>T</var>
was started by calling ‘<samp>thread-start!</samp>’, <var>T</var> called
‘<samp>thread-yield!</samp>’, <var>T</var> expired its quantum, or <var>T</var> became
unblocked. Let the relation <var>NL</var>(<var>T1</var>,<var>T2</var>), “<var>T1</var>
no later than <var>T2</var>”, be true if
<var>P</var>(<var>T1</var>)<<var>P</var>(<var>T2</var>) or
<var>P</var>(<var>T1</var>)=<var>P</var>(<var>T2</var>) and
<var>R</var>(<var>T1</var>)><var>R</var>(<var>T2</var>), and false otherwise. The
scheduler will schedule the execution of threads in such a way that
whenever there is at least one runnable thread, 1) within a finite
time at least one thread will be running, and 2) there is never a pair
of runnable threads <var>T1</var> and <var>T2</var> for which
<var>NL</var>(<var>T1</var>,<var>T2</var>) is true and <var>T1</var> is not running and
<var>T2</var> is running.
</p>
<p>A thread <var>T</var> expires its quantum when an amount of time equal to
<var>T</var>’s quantum has elapsed since <var>T</var> entered the running state
and <var>T</var> did not block, terminate or call ‘<samp>thread-yield!</samp>’.
At that point <var>T</var> exits the running state to allow other threads to
run. A thread’s quantum is thus an indication of the rate of progress
of the thread relative to the other threads of the same priority.
Moreover, the resolution of the timer measuring the running time may
cause a certain deviation from the quantum, so a thread’s quantum should
only be viewed as an approximation of the time it can run before
yielding to another thread.
</p>
<p>Threads blocked on a given mutex or condition variable will unblock in
an order which is consistent with decreasing priority and increasing
blocking time (i.e. the highest priority thread unblocks first, and
among equal priority threads the one that blocked first unblocks first).

a time object represents an absolute point in time

only after the other synchronization conditions have been checked.
Moreover the thread remains running (it does not enter the blocked
state). For example, <code>(mutex-lock! m 0)</code> will lock mutex
<code>m</code> and return ‘<samp>#t</samp>’ if <code>m</code> is
currently unlocked, otherwise ‘<samp>#f</samp>’ is returned because the

<p>The <code>make-thread</code> procedure creates and returns an initialized
thread. This thread is not automatically made runnable (the procedure
<code>thread-start!</code> must be used for this). A thread has the
following fields: base priority, priority boost, boosted flag,
quantum, name, specific, end-result, end-exception, and a list of
locked/owned mutexes it owns. The thread’s execution consists of a
call to <var>thunk</var> with the <em>initial continuation</em>. This
continuation causes the (then) current thread to store the result in
its end-result field, abandon all mutexes it owns, and finally
terminate. The ‘<samp>dynamic-wind</samp>’ stack of the initial continuation
is empty. The optional <var>name</var> is an arbitrary Scheme object which
identifies the thread (useful for debugging); it defaults to an
unspecified value. The specific field is set to an unspecified value.
The optional <var>thread-group</var> indicates which thread group this
thread belongs to; it defaults to the thread group of the current
thread. The base priority, priority boost, and quantum of the thread
are set to the same value as the current thread and the boosted flag
is set to false. The thread’s mailbox is initially empty. The thread
inherits the dynamic environment from the current thread. Moreover, in
this dynamic environment the exception-handler is bound to the
<em>initial exception-handler</em> which is a unary procedure which
causes the (then) current thread to store in its end-exception field
an uncaught-exception object whose “reason” is the argument of the
handler, abandon all mutexes it owns, and finally terminate.
</p>
<p>The <code>make-root-thread</code> procedure behaves like the
<code>make-thread</code> procedure except the created thread does not
inherit the dynamic environment from the current thread and the base
priority is set to 0, the priority boost is set to 1.0e-6, and the
quantum is set to 0.02. The dynamic environment of the thread has the
global bindings of the parameter objects, except
<code>current-input-port</code> which is bound to <var>input-port</var>,
<code>current-output-port</code> which is bound to <var>output-port</var>, and
<code>current-directory</code> which is bound to the initial current working
directory of the current process. If <var>input-port</var> is not
specified it defaults to a port corresponding to the standard input
(‘<samp>stdin</samp>’). If <var>output-port</var> is not specified it defaults to
a port corresponding to the standard output (‘<samp>stdout</samp>’).

<p>This procedure causes an abnormal termination of the <var>thread</var>. If
the <var>thread</var> is not already terminated, all mutexes owned by the
<var>thread</var> become unlocked/abandoned and a
terminated-thread-exception object is stored in the <var>thread</var>’s
end-exception field. If <var>thread</var> is the current thread,
<code>thread-terminate!</code> does not return. Otherwise
<code>thread-terminate!</code> returns an unspecified value; the termination
of the <var>thread</var> will occur at some point between the calling of
<code>thread-terminate!</code> and a finite time in the future (an explicit
thread synchronization is needed to detect termination, see
<code>thread-join!</code>).
</p>
<p>For example:
</p>

<p>NOTE: This operation must be used carefully because it terminates a
thread abruptly and it is impossible for that thread to perform any
kind of cleanup. This may be a problem if the thread is in the middle
of a critical section where some structure has been put in an
inconsistent state. However, another thread attempting to enter this
critical section will raise an abandoned-mutex-exception object
because the mutex is unlocked/abandoned. This helps avoid observing
an inconsistent state. Clean termination can be obtained by polling,
as shown in the example below.
</p>
<p>For example:
</p>

<p>To allow a thread to examine the messages in its mailbox without
removing them from the mailbox, each thread has a <em>mailbox cursor</em>
which normally points to the last message accessed in the mailbox.
When a mailbox cursor is rewound using the procedure
<code>thread-mailbox-rewind</code> or
<code>thread-mailbox-extract-and-rewind</code> or <code>thread-receive</code>, the
cursor does not point to a message, but the next call to
<code>thread-receive</code> and <code>thread-mailbox-next</code> will set the
cursor to the oldest message in the mailbox.
</p>
<p>The procedure <code>thread-receive</code> advances the mailbox cursor of the
current thread to the next message, removes that message from the
mailbox, rewinds the mailbox cursor, and returns the message. When
<var>timeout</var> is not specified, the current thread will wait until a
message is available in the mailbox. When <var>timeout</var> is specified
and <var>default</var> is not specified, a
mailbox-receive-timeout-exception object is raised if the timeout is
reached before a message is available. When <var>timeout</var> is
specified and <var>default</var> is specified, <var>default</var> is returned if
the timeout is reached before a message is available.
</p>
<p>The procedure <code>thread-mailbox-next</code> behaves like
<code>thread-receive</code> except that the message remains in the mailbox
and the mailbox cursor is not rewound.
</p>
<p>The procedures <code>thread-mailbox-rewind</code> or
<code>thread-mailbox-extract-and-rewind</code> rewind the mailbox cursor of
the current thread so that the next call to <code>thread-mailbox-next</code>
and <code>thread-receive</code> will access the oldest message in the
mailbox. Additionally the procedure
<code>thread-mailbox-extract-and-rewind</code> will remove from the mailbox
the message most recently accessed by a call to
<code>thread-mailbox-next</code>. When <code>thread-mailbox-next</code> has not
been called since the last call to <code>thread-receive</code> or
<code>thread-mailbox-rewind</code> or
<code>thread-mailbox-extract-and-rewind</code>, a call to
<code>thread-mailbox-extract-and-rewind</code> only resets the mailbox
cursor (no message is removed).

<p>This procedure locks <var>mutex</var>. If the <var>mutex</var> is currently
locked, the current thread waits until the <var>mutex</var> is unlocked, or
until the timeout is reached if <var>timeout</var> is supplied. If the
timeout is reached, <code>mutex-lock!</code> returns ‘<samp>#f</samp>’. Otherwise,
the state of the <var>mutex</var> is changed as follows:
</p>
<ul>
<li> if <var>thread</var> is ‘<samp>#f</samp>’ the
<var>mutex</var> becomes locked/not-owned,

</li><li> otherwise <var>mutex</var> becomes locked/owned
with <var>T</var> as the owner.
</li></ul>

<p>After changing the state of the <var>mutex</var>, an
abandoned-mutex-exception object is raised if the <var>mutex</var> was
unlocked/abandoned before the state change, otherwise

<p>This procedure unlocks the <var>mutex</var> by making it
unlocked/not-abandoned. It is not an error to unlock an unlocked
mutex and a mutex that is owned by any thread. If
<var>condition-variable</var> is supplied, the current thread is blocked
and added to the <var>condition-variable</var> before unlocking
<var>mutex</var>; the thread can unblock at any time but no later than when
an appropriate call to <code>condition-variable-signal!</code> or
<code>condition-variable-broadcast!</code> is performed (see below), and no
later than the timeout (if <var>timeout</var> is supplied). If there are
threads waiting to lock this <var>mutex</var>, the scheduler selects a
thread, the mutex becomes locked/owned or locked/not-owned, and the
thread is unblocked. <code>mutex-unlock!</code> returns ‘<samp>#f</samp>’ when the
timeout is reached, otherwise it returns ‘<samp>#t</samp>’.
</p>
<p>NOTE: The reason the thread can unblock at any time (when
<var>condition-variable</var> is supplied) is that the scheduler, when it
detects a serious problem such as a deadlock, must interrupt one of
the blocked threads (such as the primordial thread) so that it can
perform some appropriate action. After a thread blocked on a
condition-variable has handled such an interrupt it would be wrong for
the scheduler to return the thread to the blocked state, because any
calls to <code>condition-variable-broadcast!</code> during the interrupt
will have gone unnoticed. It is necessary for the thread to remain
runnable and return from the call to <code>mutex-unlock!</code> with a
result of ‘<samp>#t</samp>’.
</p>
<p>NOTE: <code>mutex-unlock!</code> is related to the “wait” operation on
condition variables available in other thread systems. The main
difference is that “wait” automatically locks <var>mutex</var> just
after the thread is unblocked. This operation is not performed by
<code>mutex-unlock!</code> and so must be done by an explicit call to
<code>mutex-lock!</code>. This has the advantages that a different timeout
and exception-handler can be specified on the <code>mutex-lock!</code> and
<code>mutex-unlock!</code> and the location of all the mutex operations is
clearly apparent.

to find the value returned by the standard procedures
<code>current-input-port</code> and <code>current-output-port</code>. The
standard procedures <code>with-input-from-file</code> and
<code>with-output-to-file</code> extend the dynamic environment to produce a
new dynamic environment which is in effect for the dynamic extent of
the call to the thunk passed as their last argument. These procedures
are essentially special purpose dynamic binding operations on hidden
dynamic variables (one for <code>current-input-port</code> and one for
<code>current-output-port</code>). Gambit generalizes this dynamic binding
mechanism to allow the user to introduce new dynamic variables, called
<em>parameter objects</em>, and dynamically bind them. The parameter
objects implemented by Gambit are compatible with the specification of
the “Parameter objects SRFI” (SRFI 39).
</p>
<p>One important issue is the relationship between the dynamic
environments of the parent and child threads when a thread is created.
Each thread has its own dynamic environment that is accessed when
looking up the value bound to a parameter object by that thread. When
a thread’s dynamic environment is extended it does not affect the
dynamic environment of other threads. When a thread is created it is
given a dynamic environment whose bindings are inherited from the
parent thread. In this inherited dynamic environment the parameter
objects are bound to the same cells as the parent’s dynamic
environment (in other words an assignment of a new value to a
parameter object is visible in the other thread).
</p>
<p>Another important issue is the interaction between the
<code>dynamic-wind</code> procedure and dynamic environments. When a thread
creates a continuation, the thread’s dynamic environment and the
‘<samp>dynamic-wind</samp>’ stack are saved within the continuation (an
alternate but equivalent point of view is that the ‘<samp>dynamic-wind</samp>’
stack is part of the dynamic environment). When this continuation is
invoked the required ‘<samp>dynamic-wind</samp>’ before and after thunks are
called and the saved dynamic environment is reinstated as the dynamic
environment of the current thread. During the call to each required
‘<samp>dynamic-wind</samp>’ before and after thunk, the dynamic environment
and the ‘<samp>dynamic-wind</samp>’ stack in effect when the corresponding
‘<samp>dynamic-wind</samp>’ was executed are reinstated. Note that this
specification precisely defines the semantics of calling
‘<samp>call-with-current-continuation</samp>’ or invoking a continuation
within a before or after thunk. The semantics are well defined even
when a continuation created by another thread is invoked. Below is an
example exercising the subtleties of this semantics.
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample"><b></b>(with-output-to-file

<p>The following actions will occur when this code is executed:
<code>(b1)(a1)</code> is written to “bar”, <code>(b2)</code> is then written to
“foo”, <code>(t2)</code> is then written to “baz”, <code>(a2)</code> is then
written to “foo”, and finally <code>(b1)(t1)(a1)</code> is written to
“bar”.

<p>The dynamic environment is composed of two parts: the <em>local
dynamic environment</em> and the <em>global dynamic environment</em>. There
is a single global dynamic environment, and it is used to lookup
parameter objects that can’t be found in the local dynamic
environment.
</p>
<p>The <code>make-parameter</code> procedure returns a new <em>parameter
object</em>. The <var>filter</var> argument is a one argument conversion
procedure. If it is not specified, <var>filter</var> defaults to the
identity function.
</p>
<p>The global dynamic environment is updated to associate the parameter
object to a new cell. The initial content of the cell is the result
of applying the conversion procedure to <var>obj</var>.
</p>
<p>A parameter object is a procedure which accepts zero or one argument.
The cell bound to a particular parameter object in the dynamic
environment is accessed by calling the parameter object. When no
argument is passed, the content of the cell is returned. When one
argument is passed the content of the cell is updated with the result
of applying the parameter object’s conversion procedure to the
argument. Note that the conversion procedure can be used for
guaranteeing the type of the parameter object’s binding and/or to
perform some conversion of the value.

<p>The <code>parameterize</code> form, evaluates all <i>procedure</i> and
<i>value</i> expressions in an unspecified order. All the
<i>procedure</i> expressions must evaluate to procedures, either parameter
objects or procedures accepting zero and one argument. Then,
for each procedure <i>p</i> and in an unspecified order:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
If <i>p</i> is a parameter object a new cell is created, initialized, and
bound to the parameter object in the local dynamic environment. The
value contained in the cell is the result of applying the parameter
object’s conversion procedure to <i>value</i>. The resulting dynamic
environment is then used for processing the remaining bindings (or the
evaluation of <i>body</i> if there are no other bindings).
</li><li>
Otherwise <i>p</i> will be used according to the following protocol: we
say that the call <code>(<span class="roman"><i>p</i></span>)</code> “gets <i>p</i>’s value” and that
the call <code>(<span class="roman"><i>p</i></span> <span class="roman"><i>x</i></span>)</code> “sets <i>p</i>’s value to <i>x</i>”.
First, the <code>parameterize</code> form gets <i>p</i>’s value and saves it in
a local variable. It then sets <i>p</i>’s value to <i>value</i>. It then
processes the remaining bindings (or evaluates <i>body</i> if there are
no other bindings). Then it sets <i>p</i>’s value to the saved value.
These steps are performed in a <code>dynamic-wind</code> so that it is
possible to use continuations to jump into and out of the body
(i.e. the <code>dynamic-wind</code>’s before thunk sets <i>p</i>’s value to
<i>value</i> and the after thunk sets <i>p</i>’s value to the saved value).
</li></ul>
<p>The result(s) of the <code>parameterize</code> form are the result(s) of the
<i>body</i>.
</p>
<p>Note that using procedures instead of parameter objects may lead to
unexpected results in multithreaded programs because the before and
after thunks of the <code>dynamic-wind</code> are not called when control
switches between threads.

<h2 class="section">15.1 Exception-handling</h2>
<p>Gambit’s exception-handling model is inspired from the withdrawn
“Exception Handling SRFI” (SRFI 12), the “Multithreading support
SRFI” (SRFI 18), and the “Exception Handling for Programs SRFI”
(SRFI 34). The two fundamental operations are the dynamic binding of
an exception handler (i.e. the procedure
<code>with-exception-handler</code>) and the invocation of the exception
handler (i.e. the procedure <code>raise</code>).
</p>
<p>All predefined procedures which check for errors (including type
errors, memory allocation errors, host operating-system errors, etc)
report these errors using the exception-handling system (i.e. they
“raise” an exception that can be handled in a user-defined exception
handler). When an exception is raised and the exception is not
handled by a user-defined exception handler, the predefined exception
handler will display an error message (if the primordial thread raised
the exception) or the thread will silently terminate with no error
message (if it is not the primordial thread that raised the
exception). This default behavior can be changed through the
‘<samp>-:d</samp>’ runtime option (see section <a href="#Runtime-options">Runtime options</a>).
</p>
<p>Predefined procedures normally raise exceptions by performing a
tail-call to the exception handler (the exceptions are “complex”
procedures such as <code>eval</code>, <code>compile-file</code>, <code>read</code>,
<code>write</code>, etc). This means that the continuation of the exception
handler and of the REPL that may be started due to this is normally
the continuation of the predefined procedure that raised the
exception. By exiting the REPL with the <code>,(c <var>expression</var>)</code>
command it is thus possible to resume the program as though the call
to the predefined procedure returned the value of <var>expression</var>.
For example:
</p>

<p>Uncaught-exception objects are raised when an object is raised in a
thread and that thread does not handle it (i.e. the thread terminated
because it did not catch an exception it raised). The parameter
<var>exc</var> must be an uncaught-exception object.
</p>
<p>The procedure <code>uncaught-exception?</code> returns
<code>#t</code> when <var>obj</var> is an uncaught-exception
object and <code>#f</code> otherwise.
</p>
<p>The procedure <code>uncaught-exception-procedure</code>
returns the procedure that raised <var>exc</var>.
</p>
<p>The procedure <code>uncaught-exception-arguments</code>
returns the list of arguments of the procedure that raised <var>exc</var>.
</p>
<p>The procedure <code>uncaught-exception-reason</code> returns the object that
was raised by the thread and not handled by that thread.
</p>
<p>For example:
</p>

<p>Expression-parsing-exception objects are raised by the evaluator and
compiler (i.e. the procedures <code>eval</code>, <code>compile-file</code>, etc)
when the input does not conform to the grammar for expression. The
parameter <var>exc</var> must be a expression-parsing-exception object.
</p>
<p>The procedure <code>expression-parsing-exception?</code> returns <code>#t</code> when
<var>obj</var> is a expression-parsing-exception object and <code>#f</code>
otherwise.
</p>
<p>The procedure <code>expression-parsing-exception-kind</code> returns a
symbol denoting the kind of parsing error that was encountered by the
evaluator or compiler when it raised <var>exc</var>. Here is a table of
the possible return values:

<p>Type-exception objects are raised when a primitive procedure is called
with an argument of incorrect type (i.e. when a run time type-check
fails). The parameter <var>exc</var> must be a type-exception object.
</p>
<p>The procedure <code>type-exception?</code> returns
<code>#t</code> when <var>obj</var> is a type-exception
object and <code>#f</code> otherwise.

<p>The host environment is the set of resources, such as the filesystem,
network and processes, that are managed by the operating system within
which the Scheme program is executing. This chapter specifies how the
host environment can be accessed from within the Scheme program.
</p>
<p>In this chapter we say that the Scheme program being executed is a
process, even though the concept of process does not exist in some
operating systems supported by Gambit (e.g. MSDOS).

the one used by the host environment but extended to allow
referring to the <em>home directory</em> of the current user or some
specific user and the <em>installation directories</em>.
</p>
<p>A <em>path</em> is a string that denotes a file, for example
<code>"src/readme.txt"</code>. Each component of a path is separated by a
‘<samp>/</samp>’ under UNIX and Mac OS X and by a ‘<samp>/</samp>’ or ‘<samp>\</samp>’ under
MSDOS and Microsoft Windows. A leading separator indicates an
absolute path under UNIX, Mac OS X, MSDOS and Microsoft Windows. A
path which does not contain a path separator is relative to the
<em>current working directory</em> on all operating systems. A volume
specifier such as ‘<samp>C:</samp>’ may prefix a file name under MSDOS and
Microsoft Windows.
</p>
<a name="index-_007e_007e"></a>
<p>A path which starts with the characters ‘<samp>~~</samp>’ denotes a file in an
installation directory. If nothing follows the ‘<samp>~~</samp>’ then the
directory denoted is the central installation directory. Otherwise
what follows the ‘<samp>~~</samp>’ is the name of the installation directory,
for example ‘<samp>~~lib</samp>’ denotes the ‘<samp>lib</samp>’ installation
directory. Note that the location of the installation directories may
be overridden by using the ‘<samp>-:=<var>DIRECTORY</var></samp>’ and
‘<samp>-:~~<var>DIR</var>=<var>DIRECTORY</var></samp>’ runtime options or by defining
the ‘<samp>GAMBOPT</samp>’ environment variable.
</p>
<a name="index-_007e"></a>
<p>A path which starts with the character ‘<samp>~</samp>’ not followed by
‘<samp>~</samp>’ denotes a file in the user’s home directory. The user’s home
directory is contained in the ‘<samp>HOME</samp>’ environment variable under
UNIX, Mac OS X, MSDOS and Microsoft Windows. Under MSDOS and
Microsoft Windows, if the ‘<samp>HOME</samp>’ environment variable is not
defined, the environment variables ‘<samp>HOMEDRIVE</samp>’ and
‘<samp>HOMEPATH</samp>’ are concatenated if they are defined. If this fails
to yield a home directory, the central installation directory is used
instead.
</p>
<a name="index-_007eusername"></a>
<p>A path which starts with the characters ‘<samp>~<var>username</var></samp>’
denotes a file in the home directory of the given user. Under UNIX
and Mac OS X this is found using the password file. There is no
equivalent under MSDOS and Microsoft Windows.

<p>The parameter object <code>current-directory</code> is bound to the current
working directory. Calling this procedure with no argument returns
the absolute <em>normalized path</em> of the directory and calling this
procedure with one argument sets the directory to
<var>new-current-directory</var>. The initial binding of this parameter
object is the current working directory of the current process. The
path returned by <code>current-directory</code> always contains a trailing
directory separator. Modifications of the parameter object do not
change the current working directory of the current process (i.e.
that is accessible with the UNIX <code>getcwd()</code> function and the
Microsoft Windows <code>GetCurrentDirectory</code> function). It is an
error to mutate the string returned by <code>current-directory</code>.

<p>The procedure <code>path-expand</code> takes the path of a file or directory

The optional <var>origin-directory</var> parameter, which defaults

<p>The procedure <code>path-normalize</code> takes a path of a file or
directory and returns its normalized path. The optional
<var>origin-directory</var> parameter, which defaults to the current
working directory, is the directory used to resolve relative paths.
All components of the paths <var>path</var> and
<var>origin-directory</var> must exist, except possibly the last
component of <var>path</var>. A normalized path is a path
containing no redundant parts and which is consistent with the current
structure of the filesystem. A normalized path of a directory will
always end with a path separator (i.e. ‘<samp>/</samp>’, ‘<samp>\</samp>’, or ‘<samp>:</samp>’
depending on the operating system). The optional
<var>allow-relative?</var> parameter, which defaults to <code>#f</code>,
indicates if the path returned can be expressed relatively to
<var>origin-directory</var>: a <code>#f</code> requests an absolute path,
the symbol <code>shortest</code> requests the shortest of the absolute and
relative paths, and any other value requests the relative path. The
shortest path is useful for interaction with the user because short
relative paths are typically easier to read than long absolute paths.

<p>These procedures extract various parts of a path, which need not be a
normalized path. The procedure <code>path-extension</code> returns the file
extension (including the period) or the empty string if there is no
extension. The procedure <code>path-strip-extension</code> returns the path
with the extension stripped off. The procedure <code>path-directory</code>
returns the file’s directory (including the last path separator) or
the empty string if no directory is specified in the path. The
procedure <code>path-strip-directory</code> returns the path with the
directory stripped off. The procedure
<code>path-strip-trailing-directory-separator</code> returns the path with
the directory separator stripped off if one is at the end of the path.
The procedure <code>path-volume</code> returns the file’s volume (including
the last path separator) or the empty string if no volume is specified
in the path. The procedure <code>path-strip-volume</code> returns the path
with the volume stripped off.

UNIX and Mac OS X hidden-files are those that start with a period
(such as ‘<samp>.</samp>’, ‘<samp>..</samp>’, and ‘<samp>.profile</samp>’). Under Microsoft
Windows hidden files are the ‘<samp>.</samp>’ and ‘<samp>..</samp>’ entries and the
files whose “hidden file” attribute is set. A setting of <code>#f</code>
will enumerate all the files. A setting of <code>#t</code> will only
enumerate the files that are not hidden. A setting of
<code>dot-and-dot-dot</code> will enumerate all the files except for the
‘<samp>.</samp>’ and ‘<samp>..</samp>’ hidden files. The default value of this

<h2 class="section">16.7 Measuring time</h2>
<p>Procedures are available for measuring real time (aka “wall” time)
and cpu time (the amount of time the cpu has been executing the
process). The resolution of the real time and cpu time clock is
operating system dependent. Typically the resolution of the cpu time
clock is rather coarse (measured in “ticks” of 1/60th or 1/100th of
a second). Real time is internally computed relative to some
arbitrary point in time using floating point numbers, which means that
there is a gradual loss of resolution as time elapses. Moreover, some
operating systems report time in number of ticks using a 32 bit
integer so the value returned by the time related procedures may
wraparound much before any significant loss of resolution occurs (for
example 2.7 years if ticks are 1/50th of a second).

<p>The procedure <code>process-times</code> returns a three element f64vector
containing the cpu time that has been used by the program and the real
time that has elapsed since it was started. The first element
corresponds to “user” time in seconds, the second element
corresponds to “system” time in seconds and the third element is the
elapsed real time in seconds. On operating systems that can’t
differentiate user and system time, the system time is zero. On
operating systems that can’t measure cpu time, the user time is equal
to the elapsed real time and the system time is zero.

<p>This procedure changes the last-access and last-modification times of
the file whose location is given by the string <var>path</var>. Time is
specified either with a time object indicating an absolute point in
time or a real number indicating the number of seconds relative to the
moment the procedure is called. When <var>atime</var> and <var>mtime</var> are
not specified, the last-access and last-modification times are set to
the current time. When <var>mtime</var> is not specified, the last-access
and last-modification times are set to <var>atime</var>. Otherwise the
last-access time is set to <var>atime</var> and the last-modification time
is set to <var>mtime</var>.

<h2 class="section">17.1 Unidirectional and bidirectional ports</h2>
<p>Unidirectional ports allow communication between a producer of
information and a consumer. An input-port’s producer is typically a
resource managed by the operating system (such as a file, a process or
a network connection) and the consumer is the Scheme program. The
roles are reversed for an output-port.
</p>
<p>Associated with each port are settings that affect I/O operations on
that port (encoding of characters to bytes, end-of-line encoding, type
of buffering, etc). Port settings are specified when the port is
created. Some port settings can be changed after a port is created.
</p>
<p>Bidirectional ports, also called input-output-ports, allow
communication in both directions. They are best viewed as an object
that groups two separate unidirectional ports (one in each direction).
Each direction has its own port settings and can be closed
independently from the other direction.

<h2 class="section">17.2 Port classes</h2>
<p>The four classes of ports listed below form an inheritance hierarchy.
Operations possible for a certain class of port are also possible for
the subclasses. Only device-ports are connected to a device managed
by the operating system. For instance it is possible to create ports
that behave as a FIFO where the Scheme program is both the producer
and consumer of information (possibly one thread is the producer and
another thread is the consumer).
</p>
<ol>
<li>
An <em>object-port</em> (or simply a port) provides operations to read
and write Scheme data (i.e. any Scheme object) to/from the port. It
also provides operations to force output to occur, to change the way
threads block on the port, and to close the port. Note that the class
of objects for which write/read invariance is guaranteed depends on
the particular class of port.
</li><li>
A <em>character-port</em> provides all the operations of an object-port,
and also operations to read and write individual characters to/from
the port. When a Scheme object is written to a character-port, it is
converted into the sequence of characters that corresponds to its
external-representation. When reading a Scheme object, an inverse
conversion occurs. Note that some Scheme objects do not have an
external textual representation that can be read back.
</li><li>
A <em>byte-port</em> provides all the operations of a character-port, and
also operations to read and write individual bytes to/from the port.
When a character is written to a byte-port, some encoding of that
character into a sequence of bytes will occur (for example,
<code>#\newline</code> will be encoded as the 2 bytes CR-LF when using
ISO-8859-1 character encoding and <code>cr-lf</code> end-of-line encoding, and
a non-ASCII character will generate more than 1 byte when using UTF-8
character encoding). When reading a character, a similar decoding
occurs.
</li><li>
A <em>device-port</em> provides all the operations of a byte-port, and
also operations to control the operating system managed device (file,
network connection, terminal, etc) that is connected to the port.

<h2 class="section">17.3 Port settings</h2>
<p>Some port settings are only valid for specific port classes whereas
some others are valid for all ports. Port settings are specified when
a port is created. The settings that are not specified will default
to some reasonable values. Keyword objects are used to name the
settings to be set. As a simple example, a device-port connected to
the file <code>"foo"</code> can be created using the call
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample"><b></b>(open-input-file "foo")
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>This will use default settings for the character encoding, buffering,
etc. If the UTF-8 character encoding is desired, then the port could
be opened using the call
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample"><b></b>(open-input-file (list path: "foo" char-encoding: 'UTF-8))
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>Here the argument of the procedure <code>open-input-file</code> has been
replaced by a <em>port settings list</em> which specifies the value of
each port setting that should not be set to the default value. Note
that some port settings have no useful default and it is therefore
required to specify a value for them, such as the <code>path:</code> in the
case of the file opening procedures. All port creation procedures
(i.e. named <code>open-...</code>) take a single argument that can either
be a port settings list or a value of a type that depends on the kind
of port being created (a path string for files, an IP port number for
socket servers, etc).

<p>The following is a list of port settings that are valid for all types
of ports.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<code>direction:</code> ( <code>input</code> | <code>output</code> | <code>input-output</code> )
<p>This setting controls the direction of the port. The symbol
<code>input</code> indicates a unidirectional input-port, the symbol
<code>output</code> indicates a unidirectional output-port, and the symbol
<code>input-output</code> indicates a bidirectional port. The default
value of this setting depends on the port creation procedure.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>buffering:</code> ( <code>#f</code> | <code>#t</code> | <code>line</code> )
<p>This setting controls the buffering of the port. To set each
direction separately the keywords <code>input-buffering:</code> and
<code>output-buffering:</code> must be used instead of <code>buffering:</code>.
The value <code>#f</code> selects unbuffered I/O, the value <code>#t</code>
selects fully buffered I/O, and the symbol <code>line</code> selects line
buffered I/O (the output buffer is drained when a <code>#\newline</code>
character is written). Line buffered I/O only applies to
character-ports. The default value of this setting is operating
system dependent except consoles which are unbuffered.
</p>

<p>This procedure writes the Scheme datum <var>obj</var> to the output-port
<var>port</var> and the value returned is unspecified. If it is not

<p>This procedure writes an “object separator” to the output-port
<var>port</var> and the value returned is unspecified. The separator
ensures that the next Scheme datum written with the <code>write</code>
procedure will not be confused with the latest datum that was written.
On character-ports this is done by writing the character
<code>#\newline</code>. On ports where successive objects are implicitly
distinct (such as “vector ports”) this procedure does nothing.
</p>
<p>Regardless of the class of a port <var>p</var> and assuming that the
external textual representation of the object <var>x</var> is readable, the
expression <code>(begin (write <var>x</var> <var>p</var>) (newline <var>p</var>))</code>
will write to <var>p</var> a representation of <var>x</var> that can be read
back with the procedure <code>read</code>. If it is not specified,
<var>port</var> defaults to the current output-port.
</p>
<p>For example:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample">> <b>(begin (write 123) (newline) (write 456) (newline))</b>
123

<p>The procedure <code>force-output</code> causes the data that was written to
the output-port <var>port</var> to be moved closer to its destination
according to <var>level</var>, an exact integer in the range 0 to 2. If
<var>port</var> is not specified, the current output-port is used. If
<var>level</var> is not specified, it defaults to 0. Values of <var>level</var>
above 0 are equivalent to <var>level</var> = 0 except for device ports as
explained below.
</p>
<p>When <var>level</var> is 0, the output buffers of <var>port</var> which are
managed in the Scheme process are drained (i.e. the output operation
that was delayed due to buffering is actually performed). In the case
of a device port the data is passed to the operating system and it
becomes its responsibility to transmit the data to the device. The
operating system may implement its own buffering approach which delays
the transmission of the data to the device.
</p>
<p>When <var>level</var> is 1, in addition to the operations for <var>level</var> =
0 and if the operating system supports the functionality, the
operating system is requested to transmit the data to the device. On
UNIX this corresponds to a <code>fsync</code> system call.
</p>
<p>When <var>level</var> is 2, in addition to the operations for <var>level</var> =
1 and if the operating system supports the functionality, the
operating system is requested to wait until the device reports that
the data was saved by the device (e.g. actually written to disk in the
case of a file). This operation can take a long time on some
operating systems. On Mac OS X this corresponds to a <code>fcntl</code>
system call with operation <code>F_FULLFSYNC</code>.
</p>

</p>

<p>When a thread tries to perform an I/O operation on a port, the
requested operation may not be immediately possible and the thread
must wait. For example, the thread may be trying to read a line of
text from the console and the user has not typed anything yet, or the
thread may be trying to write to a network connection faster than the
network can handle. In such situations the thread normally blocks
until the operation becomes possible.
</p>
<p>It is sometimes necessary to guarantee that the thread will not block
too long. For this purpose, to each input-port and output-port is
attached a <em>timeout</em> and <em>timeout-thunk</em>. The timeout
indicates the point in time beyond which the thread should stop
waiting on an input and output operation respectively. When the
timeout is reached, the thread calls the port’s timeout-thunk. If the
timeout-thunk returns <code>#f</code> the thread abandons trying to perform
the operation (in the case of an input operation an end-of-file is
read and in the case of an output operation an exception is raised).
Otherwise, the thread will block again waiting for the operation to
become possible (note that if the port’s timeout has not changed the
thread will immediately call the timeout-thunk again).
</p>
<p>The procedure <code>input-port-timeout-set!</code> sets the timeout of the
input-port <var>port</var> to <var>timeout</var> and the timeout-thunk to
<var>thunk</var>. The procedure <code>output-port-timeout-set!</code> sets the
timeout of the output-port <var>port</var> to <var>timeout</var> and the
timeout-thunk to <var>thunk</var>. If it is not specified, the <var>thunk</var>
defaults to a thunk that returns <code>#f</code>. The <var>timeout</var> is
either a time object indicating an absolute point in time, or it is a
real number which indicates the number of seconds relative to the
moment the procedure is called. For both procedures the value
returned is unspecified.
</p>
<p>When a port is created the timeout is set to infinity (<code>+inf.0</code>).
This causes the thread to wait as long as needed for the operation to
become possible. Setting the timeout to a point in the past
(<code>-inf.0</code>) will cause the thread to attempt the I/O operation and
never block (i.e. the timeout-thunk is called if the operation is not
immediately possible).
</p>
<p>The following example shows how to cause the REPL to terminate
when the user does not enter an expression within the next 60 seconds.

<p>The current character location of a character input-port is the
location of the next character to read. The current character
location of a character output-port is the location of the next
character to write. Location is denoted by a line number (the first
line is line 1) and a column number, that is the location on the
current line (the first column is column 1). The procedures
<code>input-port-line</code> and <code>input-port-column</code> return the line
location and the column location respectively of the character
input-port <var>port</var>. The procedures <code>output-port-line</code> and
<code>output-port-column</code> return the line location and the column
location respectively of the character output-port <var>port</var>.

will be transferred. The number of characters transferred, possibly
zero, is returned by these procedures. Fewer characters will be read
by <code>read-substring</code> if an end-of-file is read, or a timeout
occurs before all the requested characters are transferred and the
timeout thunk returns <code>#f</code> (see the procedure
<code>input-port-timeout-set!</code>), or <var>need</var> is specified and at
least that many characters have been read (in other words the
procedure does not block for more characters but may transfer more
characters if they are immediately available). Fewer characters will

<h3 class="subsection">17.6.1 Byte-port settings</h3>
<p>The following is a list of port settings that are valid for
byte-ports.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<code>char-encoding:</code> <var>encoding</var>
<p>This setting controls the character encoding of the byte-port. For
bidirectional byte-ports, the character encoding for input and output
is set. To set each direction separately the keywords
<code>input-char-encoding:</code> and <code>output-char-encoding:</code> must be
used instead of <code>char-encoding:</code>. The default value of this
setting is operating system dependent, but this can be overridden
through the runtime options (see section <a href="#Runtime-options">Runtime options</a>). The following
encodings are supported:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt> <code>ISO-8859-1</code></dt>
<dd><p>ISO-8859-1 character encoding. Each character is encoded by a single byte.
Only Unicode characters with a code in the range 0 to 255 are allowed.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>ASCII</code></dt>
<dd><p>ASCII character encoding. Each character is encoded by a single byte.
In principle only Unicode characters with a code in the range 0 to 127
are allowed but most types of ports treat this exactly like <code>ISO-8859-1</code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>UTF-8</code></dt>
<dd><p>UTF-8 character encoding. Each character is encoded by a sequence of one
to four bytes. The minimum length UTF-8 encoding is used. If a BOM is
needed at the beginning of the stream then it must be explicitly
written.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>UTF-16</code></dt>
<dd><p>UTF-16 character encoding. Each character is encoded by one or two 16
bit integers (2 or 4 bytes). The 16 bit integers may be encoded using
little-endian encoding or big-endian encoding. If the port is an
input-port and the first two bytes read are a BOM (“Byte Order Mark”
character with hexadecimal code FEFF) then the BOM will be discarded
and the endianness will be set accordingly, otherwise the endianness
depends on the operating system and how the Gambit runtime was
compiled. If the port is an output-port then a BOM will be output at
the beginning of the stream and the endianness depends on the
operating system and how the Gambit runtime was compiled.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>UTF-16LE</code></dt>
<dd><p>UTF-16 character encoding with little-endian endianness. It is like
<code>UTF-16</code> except the endianness is set to little-endian and there is no
BOM processing. If a BOM is needed at the beginning of the stream
then it must be explicitly written.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>UTF-16BE</code></dt>
<dd><p>UTF-16 character encoding with big-endian endianness. It is like
<code>UTF-16LE</code> except the endianness is set to big-endian.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>UTF / UTF-fallback-ASCII / UTF-fallback-ISO-8859-1 / UTF-fallback-UTF-16 / UTF-fallback-UTF-16LE / UTF-fallback-UTF-16BE</code></dt>
<dd><p>These encodings combine the UTF-8 and UTF-16 encodings. When one of
these character encodings is used for an output port, characters will
be encoded using the UTF-8 encoding. The first character, if there is
one, is prefixed with a UTF-8 BOM (the three byte sequence EF BB BF in
hexadecimal). When one of these character encodings is used for an
input port, the character encoding depends on the first few bytes. If
the first bytes of the stream are a UTF-16LE BOM (FF FE in
hexadecimal), or a UTF-16BE BOM (FE FF in hexadecimal), or a UTF-8 BOM
(EF BB BF in hexadecimal), then the BOM is discarded and the remaining
bytes of the stream are decoded using the corresponding character
encoding. If a BOM is not present, then the stream is decoded using
the fallback encoding specified. The encoding <code>UTF</code> is a synonym
for <code>UTF-fallback-UTF-8</code>. Note that the <code>UTF</code> character
encoding for input will correctly handle streams produced using the
encodings <code>UTF</code>, <code>UTF-8</code>, <code>UTF-16</code>, <code>ASCII</code>, and
if an explicit BOM is output, the encodings <code>UTF-16LE</code>, and
<code>UTF-16BE</code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>UCS-2</code></dt>
<dd><p>UCS-2 character encoding. Each character is encoded by a 16 bit
integer (2 bytes). The 16 bit integers may be encoded using
little-endian encoding or big-endian encoding. If the port is an
input-port and the first two bytes read are a BOM (“Byte Order Mark”
character with hexadecimal code FEFF) then the BOM will be discarded
and the endianness will be set accordingly, otherwise the endianness
depends on the operating system and how the Gambit runtime was
compiled. If the port is an output-port then a BOM will be output at
the beginning of the stream and the endianness depends on the
operating system and how the Gambit runtime was compiled.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>UCS-2LE</code></dt>
<dd><p>UCS-2 character encoding with little-endian endianness. It is like
<code>UCS-2</code> except the endianness is set to little-endian and there is no
BOM processing. If a BOM is needed at the beginning of the stream
then it must be explicitly written.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>UCS-2BE</code></dt>
<dd><p>UCS-2 character encoding with big-endian endianness. It is like
<code>UCS-2LE</code> except the endianness is set to big-endian.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>UCS-4</code></dt>
<dd><p>UCS-4 character encoding. Each character is encoded by a 32 integer
(4 bytes). The 32 bit integers may be encoded using little-endian
encoding or big-endian encoding. If the port is an input-port and the
first four bytes read are a BOM (“Byte Order Mark” character with
hexadecimal code 0000FEFF) then the BOM will be discarded and the
endianness will be set accordingly, otherwise the endianness depends
on the operating system and how the Gambit runtime was compiled. If
the port is an output-port then a BOM will be output at the beginning
of the stream and the endianness depends on the operating system and
how the Gambit runtime was compiled.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>UCS-4LE</code></dt>
<dd><p>UCS-4 character encoding with little-endian endianness. It is like
<code>UCS-4</code> except the endianness is set to little-endian and there is no
BOM processing. If a BOM is needed at the beginning of the stream
then it must be explicitly written.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>UCS-4BE</code></dt>
<dd><p>UCS-4 character encoding with big-endian endianness. It is like
<code>UCS-4LE</code> except the endianness is set to big-endian.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</li><li>
<code>char-encoding-errors:</code> ( <code>#f</code> | <code>#t</code> )
<p>This setting controls whether illegal character encodings are silently
replaced with the Unicode character #xfffd (replacement character) or
raise an error. To set each direction separately the keywords
<code>input-char-encoding-errors:</code> and
<code>output-char-encoding-errors:</code> must be used instead of
<code>char-encoding-errors:</code>. The default value of this setting is
<code>#t</code>.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>eol-encoding:</code> <var>encoding</var>
<p>This setting controls the end-of-line encoding of the byte-port. To
set each direction separately the keywords <code>input-eol-encoding:</code>
and <code>output-eol-encoding:</code> must be used instead of
<code>eol-encoding:</code>. The default value of this setting is operating
system dependent, but this can be overridden through the runtime
options (see section <a href="#Runtime-options">Runtime options</a>). Note that for output-ports the
end-of-line encoding is applied before the character encoding, and for
input-ports it is applied after. The following encodings are
supported:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt> <code>lf</code></dt>
<dd><p>For an output-port, writing a <code>#\newline</code> character outputs a
<code>#\linefeed</code> character to the stream (Unicode character code 10).
For an input-port, a <code>#\newline</code> character is read when a
<code>#\linefeed</code> character is encountered on the stream. Note that
<code>#\linefeed</code> and <code>#\newline</code> are two names for the same
character, so this end-of-line encoding is actually the identity
function. Text files created by UNIX applications typically use this
end-of-line encoding.

when a <code>#\linefeed</code> character or a <code>#\return</code> character is
encountered on the stream. Moreover, if this character is immediately
followed by the opposite character (<code>#\linefeed</code> followed by
<code>#\return</code> or <code>#\return</code> followed by <code>#\linefeed</code>) then
the second character is ignored. In other words, all four possible
end-of-line encodings are read as a single <code>#\newline</code> character.
Text files created by DOS and Microsoft Windows applications typically
use this end-of-line encoding.

<p>This procedure reads the byte input-port <var>port</var> and returns the
byte at the current byte location and advances the current byte
location to the next byte, unless the <var>port</var> is already at
end-of-file in which case <code>read-u8</code> returns the end-of-file
object. If it is not specified, <var>port</var> defaults to the current
input-port.
</p>
<p>This procedure must be called when the port’s input character buffer
is empty otherwise the character-stream and byte-stream may be out of
sync due to buffering. The input character buffer is used for bulk
decoding of encoded characters (i.e. to translate the byte-stream into
a character-stream). The input character buffer is initially empty.
It is only when characters are read that it is filled with characters
obtained by decoding the byte-stream.
</p>
<p>One way to ensure that the port’s input character buffer is empty is
to call <code>read-u8</code> strictly before any use of the port in a character
input operation (i.e. a call to the procedures <code>read</code>,
<code>read-char</code>, <code>peek-char</code>, etc). Alternatively
<code>input-port-characters-buffered</code> can be used to get the number of
characters in the port’s input character buffer, and to empty the
buffer with calls to <code>read-char</code> or <code>read-substring</code>.
</p>
<p>For example:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample">> <b>(call-with-input-u8vector
'#u8(11 22 33 44)
(lambda (p)
(let ((a (read-u8 p))) (list a (read-u8 p)))))</b>

<p>This procedure writes the byte <var>n</var> to the byte output-port

<p>These procedures support bulk byte I/O. The part of the u8vector
<var>u8vector</var> starting at index <var>start</var> and ending just before
index <var>end</var> is used as a byte buffer that will be the target of
<code>read-subu8vector</code> or the source of the <code>write-subu8vector</code>.
The <code>read-subu8vector</code> also accepts a <var>need</var> parameter which
must be a nonnegative fixnum. Up to <var>end</var>-<var>start</var> bytes will
be transferred. The number of bytes transferred, possibly zero, is
returned by these procedures. Fewer bytes will be read by
<code>read-subu8vector</code> if an end-of-file is read, or a timeout occurs
before all the requested bytes are transferred and the timeout thunk
returns <code>#f</code> (see the procedure <code>input-port-timeout-set!</code>),
or <var>need</var> is specified and at least that many bytes have been read
(in other words the procedure does not block for more bytes but may
transfer more bytes if they are immediately available). Fewer bytes
will be written by <code>write-subu8vector</code> if a timeout occurs before
all the requested bytes are transferred and the timeout thunk returns
<code>#f</code> (see the procedure <code>output-port-timeout-set!</code>). If it
is not specified, <var>port</var> defaults to the current input-port and
current output-port respectively.
</p>
<p>The procedure <code>read-subu8vector</code> must be called before any use of
the port in a character input operation (i.e. a call to the procedures
<code>read</code>, <code>read-char</code>, <code>peek-char</code>, etc) because
otherwise the character-stream and byte-stream may be out of sync due
to the port buffering.

<p>All of these procedures create a port to interface to a byte-stream
device (such as a file, console, serial port, named pipe, etc) whose
name is given by a path of the filesystem. The <code>direction:</code>
setting will default to the value <code>input</code> for the procedures
<code>open-input-file</code>, <code>call-with-input-file</code> and
<code>with-input-from-file</code>, to the value <code>output</code> for the
procedures <code>open-output-file</code>, <code>call-with-output-file</code> and
<code>with-output-to-file</code>, and to the value <code>input-output</code> for
the procedure <code>open-file</code>.
</p>
<p>The procedures <code>open-file</code>, <code>open-input-file</code> and
<code>open-output-file</code> return the port that is created. The
procedures <code>call-with-input-file</code> and
<code>call-with-output-file</code> call the procedure <var>proc</var> with the
port as single argument, and then return the value(s) of this call
after closing the port. The procedures <code>with-input-from-file</code>
and <code>with-output-to-file</code> dynamically bind the current input-port
and current output-port respectively to the port created for the
duration of a call to the procedure <var>thunk</var> with no argument. The
value(s) of the call to <var>thunk</var> are returned after closing the
port.
</p>
<p>The first argument of these procedures is either a string denoting a
filesystem path or a list of port settings which must contain a
<code>path:</code> setting. Here are the settings allowed in addition to
the generic settings of byte-ports:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<code>path:</code> <var>string</var>
<p>This setting indicates the location of the file in the filesystem.
There is no default value for this setting.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>append:</code> ( <code>#f</code> | <code>#t</code> )
<p>This setting controls whether output will be added to the end of the
file. This is useful for writing to log files that might be open by
more than one process. The default value of this setting is
<code>#f</code>.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>create:</code> ( <code>#f</code> | <code>#t</code> | <code>maybe</code> )
<p>This setting controls whether the file will be created when it is
opened. A setting of <code>#f</code> requires that the file exist
(otherwise an exception is raised). A setting of <code>#t</code> requires
that the file does not exist (otherwise an exception is raised). A
setting of <code>maybe</code> will create the file if it does not exist.
The default value of this setting is <code>maybe</code> for output-ports and
<code>#f</code> for input-ports and bidirectional ports.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>permissions:</code> <var>12-bit-exact-integer</var>
<p>This setting controls the UNIX permissions that will be attached to
the file if it is created. The default value of this setting is
<code>#o666</code>.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>truncate:</code> ( <code>#f</code> | <code>#t</code> )
<p>This setting controls whether the file will be truncated when it is
opened. For input-ports, the default value of this setting is
<code>#f</code>. For output-ports, the default value of this setting is
<code>#t</code> when the <code>append:</code> setting is <code>#f</code>, and <code>#f</code>
otherwise.

<p>When called with a single argument these procedures return the byte
position where the next I/O operation would take place in the file
attached to the given <var>port</var> (relative to the beginning of the
file). When called with two or three arguments, the byte position for
subsequent I/O operations on the given <var>port</var> is changed to
<var>position</var>, which must be an exact integer. When <var>whence</var> is
omitted or is 0, the <var>position</var> is relative to the beginning of
the file. When <var>whence</var> is 1, the <var>position</var> is relative to
the current byte position of the file. When <var>whence</var> is 2, the
<var>position</var> is relative to the end of the file. The return value
is the new byte position. On most operating systems the byte position
for reading and writing of a given bidirectional port are the same.
</p>
<p>When <code>input-port-byte-position</code> is called to change the byte
position of an input-port, all input buffers will be flushed so that
the next byte read will be the one at the given position.
</p>
<p>When <code>output-port-byte-position</code> is called to change the byte
position of an output-port, there is an implicit call to
<code>force-output</code> before the position is changed.

<p>All of these procedures start a new operating system process and
create a bidirectional port which allows communication with that
process on its standard input and standard output. The
<code>direction:</code> setting will default to the value <code>input</code> for
the procedures <code>open-input-process</code>,
<code>call-with-input-process</code> and <code>with-input-from-process</code>, to
the value <code>output</code> for the procedures <code>open-output-process</code>,
<code>call-with-output-process</code> and <code>with-output-to-process</code>, and
to the value <code>input-output</code> for the procedure
<code>open-process</code>. If the <code>direction:</code> setting is
<code>input</code>, the output-port side is closed. If the
<code>direction:</code> setting is <code>output</code>, the input-port side is
closed.
</p>
<p>The procedures <code>open-process</code>, <code>open-input-process</code> and
<code>open-output-process</code> return the port that is created. The
procedures <code>call-with-input-process</code> and
<code>call-with-output-process</code> call the procedure <var>proc</var> with the
port as single argument, and then return the value(s) of this call
after closing the port and waiting for the process to terminate. The
procedures <code>with-input-from-process</code> and
<code>with-output-to-process</code> dynamically bind the current input-port
and current output-port respectively to the port created for the
duration of a call to the procedure <var>thunk</var> with no argument. The
value(s) of the call to <var>thunk</var> are returned after closing the
port and waiting for the process to terminate.
</p>
<p>The first argument of this procedure is either a string denoting a
filesystem path of an executable program or a list of port settings
which must contain a <code>path:</code> setting. Here are the settings
allowed in addition to the generic settings of byte-ports:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<code>path:</code> <var>string</var>
<p>This setting indicates the location of the executable program in the
filesystem. There is no default value for this setting.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>arguments:</code> <var>list-of-strings</var>
<p>This setting indicates the string arguments that are passed to the
program. The default value of this setting is the empty list (i.e. no
arguments).
</p>
</li><li>
<code>environment:</code> <var>list-of-strings</var>
<p>This setting indicates the set of environment variable bindings that
the process receives. Each element of the list is a string of the
form “<code><var>VAR</var>=<var>VALUE</var></code>”, where <code><var>VAR</var></code> is the
name of the variable and <code><var>VALUE</var></code> is its binding. When
<var>list-of-strings</var> is <code>#f</code>, the process inherits the
environment variable bindings of the Scheme program. The default
value of this setting is <code>#f</code>.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>directory:</code> <var>dir</var>
<p>This setting indicates the current working directory of the process.
When <var>dir</var> is <code>#f</code>, the process uses the value of
<code>(current-directory)</code>. The default value of this setting is
<code>#f</code>.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>stdin-redirection:</code> ( <code>#f</code> | <code>#t</code> )
<p>This setting indicates how the standard input of the process is
redirected. A setting of <code>#t</code> will redirect the standard input
from the process-port (i.e. what is written to the process-port will
be available on the standard input). A setting of <code>#f</code> will
leave the standard input as-is, which typically results in input
coming from the console. The default value of this setting is
<code>#t</code>.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>stdout-redirection:</code> ( <code>#f</code> | <code>#t</code> )
<p>This setting indicates how the standard output of the process is
redirected. A setting of <code>#t</code> will redirect the standard output
to the process-port (i.e. all output to standard output can be read
from the process-port). A setting of <code>#f</code> will leave the
standard output as-is, which typically results in the output going to
the console. The default value of this setting is <code>#t</code>.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>stderr-redirection:</code> ( <code>#f</code> | <code>#t</code> )
<p>This setting indicates how the standard error of the process is
redirected. A setting of <code>#t</code> will redirect the standard error
to the process-port (i.e. all output to standard error can be read
from the process-port). A setting of <code>#f</code> will leave the
standard error as-is, which typically results in error messages being
output to the console. The default value of this setting is
<code>#f</code>.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>pseudo-terminal:</code> ( <code>#f</code> | <code>#t</code> )
<p>This setting applies to UNIX. It indicates what type of device will
be bound to the process’ standard input and standard output. A
setting of <code>#t</code> will use a pseudo-terminal device (this is a
device that behaves like a tty device even though there is no real
terminal or user directly involved). A setting of <code>#f</code> will use
a pair of pipes. The difference is important for programs which
behave differently when they are used interactively, for example
shells. The default value of this setting is <code>#f</code>.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>show-console:</code> ( <code>#f</code> | <code>#t</code> )
<p>This setting applies to Microsoft Windows. It controls whether the
process’ console window will be hidden or visible. The default value
of this setting is <code>#t</code> (i.e. show the console window).

<p>This procedure opens a network connection to a socket server and
returns a tcp-client-port (a subtype of device-port) that represents
this connection and allows communication with that server. The
default value of the <code>direction:</code> setting is <code>input-output</code>,
i.e. the Scheme program can send information to the server and receive
information from the server. The sending direction can be
“shutdown” using the <code>close-output-port</code> procedure and the
receiving direction can be “shutdown” using the
<code>close-input-port</code> procedure. The <code>close-port</code> procedure
closes both directions of the connection.
</p>
<p>The parameter of this procedure is an IP port number (16-bit nonnegative
exact integer), a string of the form <code>"<var>HOST</var>:<var>PORT</var>"</code> or
a list of port settings. When the parameter is the number <var>PORT</var>
it is handled as if it was the setting <code>port-number:</code> <var>PORT</var>.
When the parameter is the string <code>"<var>HOST</var>:<var>PORT</var>"</code> it is
handled as if it was the setting <code>address:</code>
<code>"<var>HOST</var>:<var>PORT</var>"</code>.
</p>
<p>Here are the settings allowed in addition to the generic settings of
byte-ports:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<code>address:</code> <var>string-or-ip-address</var>
<p>This setting indicates the internet address of the server, and
possibly the IP port number. When this parameter is not specified or
is <code>""</code>, the connection requests are sent to the loopback
interface (with IP address 127.0.0.1). The parameter can be a string
denoting a host name, which will be translated to an IP address by the
<code>host-info</code> procedure, or a 4 element u8vector which contains the
32-bit IPv4 address or an 8 element u16vector which contains the
128-bit IPv6 address. A string of the form
<code>"<var>HOST</var>:<var>PORT</var>"</code> is handled as if it was the combination
of settings <code>address:</code> <code>"<var>HOST</var>"</code>
<code>port-number:</code> <var>PORT</var>.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>port-number:</code> <var>16-bit-exact-integer</var>
<p>This setting indicates the IP port number of the server to connect
to (e.g. 80 for the standard HTTP server, 23 for the standard telnet
server). There is no default value for this setting.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>local-address:</code> <var>string-or-ip-address</var>
<p>This setting indicates the internet address of the local network interface
on which connections requests are initiated, and possibly the IP port
number. When this parameter is not specified or is <code>"*"</code>, the
connection requests are initiated on any network interface
(i.e. address INADDR_ANY). When this parameter is <code>""</code>, the
connection requests are initiated only on the loopback interface (with
IP address 127.0.0.1). The parameter can be a string denoting a
host name, which will be translated to an IP address by the
<code>host-info</code> procedure, or a 4 element u8vector which contains the
32-bit IPv4 address or an 8 element u16vector which contains the
128-bit IPv6 address. A string of the form
<code>"<var>INTF</var>:<var>PORT</var>"</code> is handled as if it was the combination
of settings <code>local-address:</code> <code>"<var>INTF</var>"</code>
<code>local-port-number:</code> <var>PORT</var>.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>local-port-number:</code> <var>16-bit-exact-integer</var>
<p>This setting indicates the IP port number assigned to the socket which
initiates connection requests. The special value 0 requests that a
currently unused port number be assigned to the socket.
This is the default value for this setting.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>keep-alive:</code> ( <code>#f</code> | <code>#t</code> )
<p>This setting controls the use of the “keep alive” option on the
connection. The “keep alive” option will periodically send control
packets on otherwise idle network connections to ensure that the
server host is active and reachable. The default value of this
setting is <code>#f</code>.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>coalesce:</code> ( <code>#f</code> | <code>#t</code> )
<p>This setting controls the use of TCP’s “Nagle algorithm” which
reduces the number of small packets by delaying their transmission and
coalescing them into larger packets. A setting of <code>#t</code> will
coalesce small packets into larger ones. A setting of <code>#f</code> will
transmit packets as soon as possible. The default value of this
setting is <code>#t</code>. Note that this setting does not affect the
buffering of the port.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>tls-context:</code> ( <code>#f</code> | <var>tls-context</var> )
<p>This setting controls the use of TLS encryption. If provided, the client
will use this configuration for setting up a TCP connection with TLS
encryption, otherwise it will use a plain TCP connection as usual. Please
note that Gambit must be compiled with TLS support for this option to be
implemented. See <code>make-tls-context</code> for futher information. The
default value of this setting is <code>#f</code>.

<p>This procedure sets up a socket to accept network connection requests
from clients and returns a tcp-server-port from which network
connections to clients are obtained. Tcp-server-ports are a direct
subtype of object-ports (i.e. they are not character-ports) and are
input-ports. Reading from a tcp-server-port with the <code>read</code>
procedure will block until a network connection request is received
from a client. The <code>read</code> procedure will then return a
tcp-client-port (a subtype of device-port) that represents this
connection and allows communication with that client. Closing a
tcp-server-port with either the <code>close-input-port</code> or
<code>close-port</code> procedures will cause the network subsystem to stop
accepting connections on that socket.
</p>
<p>The parameter of this procedure is an IP port number (16-bit nonnegative
exact integer), a string of the form <code>"<var>INTF</var>:<var>PORT</var>"</code> or
a list of port settings which must contain a <code>local-port-number:</code>
setting. When the parameter is the number <var>PORT</var> it is handled as
if it was the setting <code>local-port-number:</code> <var>PORT</var>. When the
parameter is the string <code>"<var>INTF</var>:<var>PORT</var>"</code> it is handled
as if it was the setting <code>local-address:</code>
<code>"<var>INTF</var>:<var>PORT</var>"</code>.
</p>
<p>Below is a list of the settings allowed in addition to the settings
<code>keep-alive:</code> and <code>coalesce:</code> allowed by the
<code>open-tcp-client</code> procedure and the generic settings of
byte-ports. The settings which are not listed below apply to the
tcp-client-port that is returned by <code>read</code> when a connection is
accepted and have the same meaning as if they were used in a call to
the <code>open-tcp-client</code> procedure.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<code>local-address:</code> <var>string-or-ip-address</var>
<p>This setting indicates the internet address of the local network interface
on which connections requests are accepted, and possibly the IP port
number. When this parameter is not specified or is <code>""</code>, the
connection requests are accepted only on the loopback interface (with
IP address 127.0.0.1). When this parameter is <code>"*"</code>, the
connection requests are accepted on all network interfaces
(i.e. address INADDR_ANY). The parameter can be a string denoting a
host name, which will be translated to an IP address by the
<code>host-info</code> procedure, or a 4 element u8vector which contains the
32-bit IPv4 address or an 8 element u16vector which contains the
128-bit IPv6 address. A string of the form
<code>"<var>INTF</var>:<var>PORT</var>"</code> is handled as if it was the combination
of settings <code>local-address:</code> <code>"<var>INTF</var>"</code>
<code>local-port-number:</code> <var>PORT</var>.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>local-port-number:</code> <var>16-bit-exact-integer</var>
<p>This setting indicates the IP port number assigned to the socket which
accepts connection requests from clients. So called “well-known
ports”, which are reserved for standard services, have a port number
below 1024 and can only be assigned to a socket by a process with
superuser priviledges (e.g. 80 for the HTTP service, 23 for the telnet
service). No special priviledges are needed to assign higher
port numbers to a socket. The special value 0 requests that a
currently unused port number be assigned to the socket (the port
number assigned can be retrieved using the procedure
<code>tcp-server-socket-info</code>). There is no default value for this
setting.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>backlog:</code> <var>positive-exact-integer</var>
<p>This setting indicates the maximum number of connection requests that
can be waiting to be accepted by a call to <code>read</code> (technically it
is the value passed as the second argument of the UNIX <code>listen()</code>
function). The default value of this setting is 128.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>reuse-address:</code> ( <code>#f</code> | <code>#t</code> )
<p>This setting controls whether it is possible to assign a port number
that is currently active. Note that when a server process terminates,
the socket it was using to accept connection requests does not become
inactive immediately. Instead it remains active for a few minutes to
ensure clean termination of the connections. A setting of <code>#f</code>
will cause an exception to be raised in that case. A setting of
<code>#t</code> will allow a port number to be used even if it is active.
The default value of this setting is <code>#t</code>.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>tls-context:</code> ( <code>#f</code> | <var>tls-context</var> )
<p>This setting controls the use of TLS encryption. If provided, the server
will use this configuration for accepting TCP connections with TLS
encryption, otherwise it will accept plain TCP connections as usual. Please
note that Gambit must be compiled with TLS support for this option to be
implemented. See <code>make-tls-context</code> for futher information. The
default value of this setting is <code>#f</code>.
</p>
</li></ul>

<p>The procedure <code>tcp-service-register!</code> sets up a socket to accept
network connection requests from clients and creates a “service”
thread which processes the incoming connections. The parameter
<var>port-number-or-address-or-settings</var> has the same meaning as for
the procedure <code>open-tcp-server</code>.
</p>
<p>For each connection established the service thread creates a
“handler” thread which executes a call to the procedure <var>thunk</var>
with no argument. The handler thread’s current input-port and current
output-port are both set to the tcp-client-port created for the
connection. There is no need for the <var>thunk</var> to close the
tcp-client-port, as this is done by the handler thread when the
<var>thunk</var> returns normally.
</p>
<p>The procedure <code>tcp-service-unregister!</code> terminates the service
thread which was registered by <code>tcp-service-register!</code> with the
same network interface and port number (if a service thread is still
registered). The procedure <code>tcp-service-register!</code> implicitly
calls <code>tcp-service-unregister!</code> before registering the new
service thread.

<p>This procedure requires Gambit to be compiled with TLS support, which is
currently provided by OpenSSL. The <code>--enable-openssl</code> flag of the configure
script will activate it, provided that you have the OpenSSL library and headers
installed. It is strongly recommended that versions above 1.x are used.
On OSX, this means updating the OpenSSL bundled by default. This can be achieved
using Homebrew, but manual installation or any other package manager will do.
Some notes on Windows with MinGW are also relevant here. Once you have a sane
MinGW environment, remember to decompress the OpenSSL tarball with the tar
utility, otherwise links to files won’t work during the compilation process. The
recommended build procedure for MinGW is as follows.

further manipulated with custom OpenSSL bindings. The configuration options are:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<code>min-version:</code> <var>symbol</var>
<p>Establish a minimum TLS version for the connection. If the other peer doesn’t
support or agree with it, the connection will fail. Possible options (support
depends on linked OpenSSL version): <code>ssl-v2</code>, <code>ssl-v3</code>, <code>tls-v1</code>,
<code>tls-v1.1</code>, <code>tls-v1.2</code>.
</p>
</li><li>

for using the TLS context with <code>open-tcp-server</code>. <code>use-diffie-hellman</code>
enables the Diffie-Hellman key exchange. <code>use-elliptic-curves</code> enables
Elliptic Curves. If no curve name is provided (with <code>elliptic-curve:</code>),
<code>prime256v1</code> will be used. <code>request-client-authentication</code> is used by
a server to enable request of authentication to clients.
<code>insert-empty-fragments</code> enables a countermeasure against a SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
protocol vulnerability affecting CBC ciphers. If used, the resulting connection
may not be handled by some broken SSL implementations. This option has no effect
for connections using other ciphers.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>certificate:</code> <var>path</var>
<p>Path to PEM Certificate file. This is a recommended option. If not provided
OpenSSL will try to use anonymous cipher suites.

<p>This procedure opens a socket for doing network communication with the
UDP protocol. The default value of the <code>direction:</code> setting is
<code>input-output</code>, i.e. the Scheme program can send information and
receive information on the socket. The sending direction can be
closed using the <code>close-output-port</code> procedure and the receiving
direction can be closed using the <code>close-input-port</code> procedure.
The <code>close-port</code> procedure closes both directions.
</p>
<p>The resulting port designates a UDP socket. Each call to <code>read</code>
and <code>udp-read-subu8vector</code> causes the reception of a single
datagram on the designated UDP socket, and each call to <code>write</code>
and <code>udp-write-subu8vector</code> sends a single datagram. UDP ports
are a direct subtype of object-ports (i.e. they are not
character-ports) and <code>read</code> and <code>write</code> transfer u8vectors.
If <code>read</code> is called and a timeout occurs before a datagram is
transferred and the timeout thunk returns <code>#f</code> (see the procedure
<code>input-port-timeout-set!</code>) then the end-of-file object is
returned.
</p>
<p>The parameter of this procedure is an IP port number (16-bit nonnegative
exact integer), a string of the form <code>"<var>HOST</var>:<var>PORT</var>"</code> or
a list of port settings. When the parameter is the number <var>PORT</var>
it is handled as if it was the setting <code>local-port-number:</code> <var>PORT</var>.
When the parameter is the string <code>"<var>HOST</var>:<var>PORT</var>"</code> it is
handled as if it was the setting <code>local-address:</code>
<code>"<var>HOST</var>:<var>PORT</var>"</code>.
</p>
<p>Here are the settings allowed:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<code>direction:</code> ( <code>input</code> | <code>output</code> | <code>input-output</code> )
<p>This setting controls the direction of the port. The symbol
<code>input</code> indicates a unidirectional input-port, the symbol
<code>output</code> indicates a unidirectional output-port, and the symbol
<code>input-output</code> indicates a bidirectional port. The default
value of this setting is <code>input-output</code>.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>local-address:</code> <var>string-or-ip-address</var>
<p>This setting indicates the internet address of the local network
interface on which the socket is open and possibly the IP port number.
When this parameter is not specified or is <code>""</code>, the socket is
open on the loopback interface (with IP address 127.0.0.1).
When this parameter is <code>"*"</code> the socket is open on all network
interfaces (i.e. address INADDR_ANY). The parameter can be a string
denoting a host name, which will be translated to an IP address by the
<code>host-info</code> procedure, or a 4 element u8vector which contains the
32-bit IPv4 address or an 8 element u16vector which contains the
128-bit IPv6 address. A string of the form
<code>"<var>INTF</var>:<var>PORT</var>"</code> is handled as if it was the combination
of settings <code>local-address:</code> <code>"<var>INTF</var>"</code>
<code>local-port-number:</code> <var>PORT</var>.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>local-port-number:</code> <var>16-bit-exact-integer</var>
<p>This setting indicates the IP port number assigned to the socket. The
special value 0 requests that a currently unused port number be
assigned to the socket. This is the default value for this setting.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>address:</code> <var>string-or-ip-address</var>
<p>This setting indicates the initial destination internet address of the
datagrams, and possibly the IP port number. When this parameter is not
specified the destination is set to the local address if it is not all
network interfaces (i.e. <code>"*"</code> = address INADDR_ANY). When this
parameter is <code>""</code> or this parameter is not specified and the
local address is all network interfaces, the destination is set to the
loopback interface (with IP address 127.0.0.1). The parameter can be
a string denoting a host name, which will be translated to an IP
address by the <code>host-info</code> procedure, or a 4 element u8vector
which contains the 32-bit IPv4 address or an 8 element u16vector which
contains the 128-bit IPv6 address. A string of the form
<code>"<var>HOST</var>:<var>PORT</var>"</code> is handled as if it was the combination
of settings <code>address:</code> <code>"<var>HOST</var>"</code> <code>port-number:</code>
<var>PORT</var>.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>port-number:</code> <var>16-bit-exact-integer</var>

<p>These procedures receive and send datagrams on the UDP socket
designated by <var>udp-port</var>, obtained with a call to <code>open-udp</code>.
If it is not specified, <var>udp-port</var> defaults to the current
input-port for <code>udp-read-u8vector</code> and
<code>udp-read-subu8vector</code> and to the current output-port for
<code>udp-write-u8vector</code> and <code>udp-write-subu8vector</code>.
</p>
<p>These procedures are similar in function to <code>read-subu8vector</code>
and <code>write-subu8vector</code>, but because they read or write a group
of bytes at a time rather than a stream of bytes, they are distinct
procedures with slightly different APIs.
</p>
<p>The procedure <code>udp-read-u8vector</code> receives the next datagram and
returns it in a fresh u8vector. If a timeout occurs before a datagram
is transferred and the timeout thunk returns <code>#f</code> (see the
procedure <code>input-port-timeout-set!</code>) then <code>#f</code> is returned.
</p>
<p>The procedure <code>udp-write-u8vector</code> sends as a datagram the
u8vector <var>u8vector</var>.
</p>
<p>For the procedures <code>udp-read-subu8vector</code> and
<code>udp-write-subu8vector</code>, the part of the u8vector <var>u8vector</var>
starting at index <var>start</var> and ending just before index <var>end</var>
is used as a byte buffer that will be the target of
<code>udp-read-subu8vector</code> or the source of the
<code>udp-write-subu8vector</code>. Up to <var>end</var>-<var>start</var> bytes will
be transferred. The number of bytes transferred, possibly zero, is
returned by these procedures, unless a timeout occurs (see below).
Fewer bytes will be read by <code>udp-read-subu8vector</code> if the
received datagram’s length is less than <var>end</var>-<var>start</var>.
<code>udp-write-subu8vector</code> always transfers <var>end</var>-<var>start</var>
bytes, but note that this must be less than 65536 bytes, and some
operating systems have a lower limit (for example MacOS limits the
number of bytes to 9216 by default). If a timeout occurs before a
datagram is transferred and the timeout thunk returns <code>#f</code> (see
the procedure <code>input-port-timeout-set!</code>) then <code>#f</code> is
returned by these procedures (this is different from the procedures
<code>read-subu8vector</code> and <code>write-subu8vector</code> which return 0).
</p>
<p>For <code>udp-write-u8vector</code> and <code>udp-write-subu8vector</code> the
datagram’s destination is the address initially supplied when
<code>open-udp</code> was called, or the latest address set when
<code>udp-destination-set!</code> was called.
</p>
<p>Here is an example of sending a 3 byte datagram to port 5678 of the
loopback interface (with IP address 127.0.0.1):
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample">> <b>(define p (open-udp (list address: '#u8(127 0 0 1) port-number: 5678)))</b>
> <b>(write '#u8(11 22 33) p)</b>
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>An alternative approach is to use <code>udp-destination-set!</code>:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample">> <b>(define p (open-udp))</b>
> <b>(udp-destination-set! '#u8(127 0 0 1) 5678 p)</b>
> <b>(write '#u8(11 22 33) p)</b>
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>Another approach is to use <code>udp-write-subu8vector</code>:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample">> <b>(define p (open-udp))</b>
> <b>(udp-destination-set! '#u8(127 0 0 1) 5678 p)</b>
> <b>(define v '#u8(11 22 33))</b>
> <b>(udp-write-subu8vector v 0 3 p)</b>
3
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>Note that by default the internet address of the local network
interface is the loopback interface, which is not connected to the
internet. To contact an external socket the address of the local
network interface must be specified, for example <code>"*"</code> will
select all interfaces. The following example shows how to connect to
a Time Protocol server to get the current time:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample">> <b>(define p (open-udp (list local-address: "*" address: "time.nist.gov:37")))</b>

#u8(222 27 158 226)
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>Here is an example of receiving a 3 byte datagram on port 5678 of the
loopback interface:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample">> <b>(define p (open-udp 5678))</b>
> <b>(read p)</b>
#u8(11 22 33)
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>An alternative approach is to use <code>udp-read-subu8vector</code>:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample">> <b>(define p (open-udp 5678))</b>
> <b>(define v (make-u8vector 10000))</b>
> <b>(udp-read-subu8vector v 0 10000 p)</b>
3
> <b>(subu8vector v 0 3)</b>
#u8(11 22 33)
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>Note that using <code>udp-read-subu8vector</code> and
<code>udp-write-subu8vector</code> is typically more efficient than
<code>read</code> and <code>write</code> because it avoids having to construct a
new u8vector for each datagram transferred.

procedure which returns a list of the files in the directory. The
advantage of using directory-ports is that it allows iterating over
the files in a directory in constant space, which is interesting when
the number of files in the directory is not known in advance and may
be large. Note that the order in which the names are returned is
operating-system dependent.
</p>
<p>The parameter of this procedure is either a string denoting a
filesystem path to a directory or a list of port settings which must
contain a <code>path:</code> setting. Here are the settings allowed in
addition to the generic settings of object-ports:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<code>path:</code> <var>string</var>
<p>This setting indicates the location of the directory in the filesystem.
There is no default value for this setting.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>ignore-hidden:</code> ( <code>#f</code> | <code>#t</code> | <code>dot-and-dot-dot</code> )
<p>This setting controls whether hidden-files will be returned. Under
UNIX and Mac OS X hidden-files are those that start with a period
(such as ‘<samp>.</samp>’, ‘<samp>..</samp>’, and ‘<samp>.profile</samp>’). Under Microsoft
Windows hidden files are the ‘<samp>.</samp>’ and ‘<samp>..</samp>’ entries and the
files whose “hidden file” attribute is set. A setting of <code>#f</code>
will enumerate all the files. A setting of <code>#t</code> will only
enumerate the files that are not hidden. A setting of
<code>dot-and-dot-dot</code> will enumerate all the files except for the
‘<samp>.</samp>’ and ‘<samp>..</samp>’ hidden files. The default value of this
setting is <code>#t</code>.
</p>
</li></ul>
<p>For example:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample">> <b>(let ((p (open-directory (list path: "../examples"
ignore-hidden: #f))))

<p>Vector-ports represent streams of Scheme objects. They are a direct
subtype of object-ports (i.e. they are not character-ports). All of
these procedures create vector-ports that are either unidirectional or
bidirectional. The <code>direction:</code> setting will default to the
value <code>input</code> for the procedures <code>open-input-vector</code>,
<code>call-with-input-vector</code> and <code>with-input-from-vector</code>, to
the value <code>output</code> for the procedures <code>open-output-vector</code>,
<code>call-with-output-vector</code> and <code>with-output-to-vector</code>, and
to the value <code>input-output</code> for the procedure <code>open-vector</code>.
Bidirectional vector-ports behave like FIFOs: data written to the port
is added to the end of the stream that is read. It is only when a
bidirectional vector-port’s output-side is closed with a call to the
<code>close-output-port</code> procedure that the stream’s end is known
(when the stream’s end is reached, reading the port returns the
end-of-file object).
</p>
<p>The procedures <code>open-vector</code>, <code>open-input-vector</code> and
<code>open-output-vector</code> return the port that is created. The
procedures <code>call-with-input-vector</code> and
<code>call-with-output-vector</code> create a vector port, call the
procedure <var>proc</var> with the port as single argument and then close
the port. The procedures <code>with-input-from-vector</code> and
<code>with-output-to-vector</code> create a vector port, dynamically bind
the current input-port and current output-port respectively to the
port created for the duration of a call to the procedure <var>thunk</var>
with no argument, and then close the port. The procedures
<code>call-with-input-vector</code> and <code>with-input-from-vector</code> return
the value returned by the procedures <var>proc</var> and <var>thunk</var>
respectively. The procedures <code>call-with-output-vector</code> and
<code>with-output-to-vector</code> return the vector accumulated in the port
(see <code>get-output-vector</code>).
</p>
<p>The <var>vector-or-settings</var> parameter of these procedures is either a
vector of the elements used to initialize the stream or a list of port
settings. If it is not specified, the parameter of the
<code>open-vector</code>, <code>open-input-vector</code>,
<code>open-output-vector</code>, <code>with-output-to-vector</code>, and
<code>call-with-output-vector</code> procedures defaults to an empty list of
port settings. Here are the settings allowed in addition to the
generic settings of object-ports:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<code>init:</code> <var>vector</var>
<p>This setting indicates the initial content of the stream. The default
value of this setting is an empty vector.
</p>
</li><li>
<code>permanent-close:</code> ( <code>#f</code> | <code>#t</code> )
<p>This setting controls whether a call to the procedures
<code>close-output-port</code> will close the output-side of a bidirectional
vector-port permanently or not. A permanently closed bidirectional
vector-port whose end-of-file has been reached on the input-side will
return the end-of-file object for all subsequent calls to the
<code>read</code> procedure. A non-permanently closed bidirectional
vector-port will return to its opened state when its end-of-file is
read. The default value of this setting is <code>#t</code>.
</p>
</li></ul>

<p>The procedure <code>open-vector-pipe</code> creates two vector-ports and
returns these two ports. The two ports are interrelated as follows:
the first port’s output-side is connected to the second port’s
input-side and the first port’s input-side is connected to the second
port’s output-side. The value <var>vector-or-settings1</var> is used to
setup the first vector-port and <var>vector-or-settings2</var> is used to
setup the second vector-port. The same settings as for
<code>open-vector</code> are allowed. The default <code>direction:</code> setting
is <code>input-output</code> (i.e. a bidirectional port is created). If it
is not specified <var>vector-or-settings1</var> defaults to the empty list.
If it is not specified <var>vector-or-settings2</var> defaults to
<var>vector-or-settings1</var> but with the <code>init:</code> setting set to the
empty vector and with the input and output settings exchanged (e.g. if
the first port is an input-port then the second port is an
output-port, if the first port’s input-side is non-buffered then the
second port’s output-side is non-buffered).

<p>The <code>print</code> procedure writes a representation of each <var>obj</var>,
from left to right, to <var>port</var>. When a compound object is
encountered (pair, list, vector, box) the elements of that object are
recursively written without the surrounding tokens (parentheses,
spaces, dots, etc). Strings, symbols, keywords and characters are
written like the <code>display</code> procedure. If there are more than one
<var>obj</var>, the first <var>obj</var> must not be a keyword object. If it is
not specified, <var>port</var> defaults to the current output-port. The
procedure <code>print</code> returns an unspecified value.
</p>
<p>The <code>println</code> procedure does the same thing as the <code>print</code>
procedure and then writes an end of line to <var>port</var>.

</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample">> <b>(println "2*2 is " (* 2 2) " and 2+2 is " (+ 2 2))</b>

<h2 class="section">18.1 Readtables</h2>
<p>Readtables control the external textual representation of Scheme
objects, that is the encoding of Scheme objects using characters.
Readtables affect the behavior of the reader (i.e. the <code>read</code>
procedure and the parser used by the <code>load</code> procedure and the
interpreter and compiler) and the printer (i.e. the procedures
<code>write</code>, <code>display</code>, <code>print</code>, <code>println</code>,
<code>pretty-print</code>, and <code>pp</code>, and the procedure used by the REPL
to print results). To preserve write/read invariance the printer and
reader must be using compatible readtables. For example a symbol
which contains upper case letters will be printed with special escapes
if the readtable indicates that the reader is case-insensitive.
</p>
<p>Readtables are immutable records whose fields specify various textual
representation aspects. There are accessor procedures to retrieve the
content of specific fields. There are also functional update
procedures that create a copy of a readtable, with a specific field
set to a new value.
</p>

<p>This procedure returns <code>#t</code> when <var>obj</var> is a readtable and
<code>#f</code> otherwise.

<p>The procedure <code>readtable-case-conversion?</code> returns the content of
the ‘<samp>case-conversion?</samp>’ field of <var>readtable</var>. When the
content of this field is <code>#f</code>, the reader preserves the case of
symbols and keyword objects that are read (i.e. <code>Ice</code> and
<code>ice</code> are distinct symbols). When the content of this field is
the symbol <code>upcase</code>, the reader converts lowercase letters to
uppercase when reading symbols and keywords (i.e. <code>Ice</code> is read
as the symbol <code>(string->symbol "ICE")</code>). Otherwise the reader
converts uppercase letters to lowercase when reading symbols and
keywords (i.e. <code>Ice</code> is read as the symbol <code>(string->symbol
"ice")</code>).

<p>The procedure <code>readtable-case-conversion?-set</code> returns a copy

of the ‘<samp>sharing-allowed?</samp>’ field is <code>#f</code>, the printing procedures
will not use this notation. When the content of the ‘<samp>sharing-allowed?</samp>’
field is <code>#t</code>, the printing procedures will use this notation
for shared and circular structures. Finally, when the content of the
‘<samp>sharing-allowed?</samp>’ field is the symbol <code>serialize</code>, the printer
uses a special external representation that the reader understands and
that extends write/read invariance to the following types: records,
procedures and continuations. Note that an object can be serialized and
deserialized if and only if all of its components are serializable.
</p>
<p>The procedure <code>readtable-sharing-allowed?-set</code> returns a copy
of <var>readtable</var> where only the ‘<samp>sharing-allowed?</samp>’ field
has been changed to <var>new-value</var>.

<p>Continuations are tricky to serialize because they contain a dynamic
environment and this dynamic environment may contain non-serializable
objects, in particular ports attached to operating-system streams such
as files, the console or standard input/output. Indeed, all dynamic
environments contain a binding for the <code>current-input-port</code> and
<code>current-output-port</code>. Moreover, any thread that has started a
REPL has a continuation which refers to the <em>repl-context</em> object
in its dynamic environment. A repl-context object contains the
interaction channel, which is typically connected to a
non-serializable port, such as the console. Another problem is that
the <code>parameterize</code> form saves the old binding of the parameter in
the continuation, so it is not possible to eliminate the references to
these ports in the continuation by using the <code>parameterize</code> form
alone.
</p>
<p>Serialization of continuations can be achieved dependably by taking
advantage of string-ports, which are serializable objects (unless
there is a blocked thread), and the following features of threads:
they inherit the dynamic environment of the parent thread and they
start with an initial continuation that contains only serializable
objects. So a thread created in a dynamic environment where
<code>current-input-port</code> and <code>current-output-port</code> are bound to
a dummy string-port has a serializable continuation.
</p>
<p>Here is an example where continuations are serialized:

<p>Homogeneous vectors are vectors containing raw numbers of the same
type (signed or unsigned exact integers or inexact reals). There are
10 types of homogeneous vectors:
‘<samp>s8vector</samp>’ (vector of 8 bit signed integers),
‘<samp>u8vector</samp>’ (vector of 8 bit unsigned integers),
‘<samp>s16vector</samp>’ (vector of 16 bit signed integers),
‘<samp>u16vector</samp>’ (vector of 16 bit unsigned integers),
‘<samp>s32vector</samp>’ (vector of 32 bit signed integers),
‘<samp>u32vector</samp>’ (vector of 32 bit unsigned integers),
‘<samp>s64vector</samp>’ (vector of 64 bit signed integers),
‘<samp>u64vector</samp>’ (vector of 64 bit unsigned integers),
‘<samp>f32vector</samp>’ (vector of 32 bit floating point numbers),
and ‘<samp>f64vector</samp>’ (vector of 64 bit floating point numbers).
</p>
<p>The external representation of homogeneous vectors is similar to
normal vectors but with the ‘<samp>#(</samp>’ prefix replaced respectively
with
‘<samp>#s8(</samp>’, ‘<samp>#u8(</samp>’,
‘<samp>#s16(</samp>’, ‘<samp>#u16(</samp>’,
‘<samp>#s32(</samp>’, ‘<samp>#u32(</samp>’,
‘<samp>#s64(</samp>’, ‘<samp>#u64(</samp>’,
‘<samp>#f32(</samp>’, and ‘<samp>#f64(</samp>’.
</p>
<p>The elements of the integer homogeneous vectors must be exact integers
fitting in the given precision. The elements of the floating point
homogeneous vectors must be inexact reals.

<h2 class="section">18.12 Scheme infix syntax extension</h2>
<p>The reader supports an infix syntax extension which is called SIX
(Scheme Infix eXtension). This extension is both supported by the
‘<samp>read</samp>’ procedure and in program source code.
</p>
<p>The backslash character is a delimiter that marks the beginning of a
single datum expressed in the infix syntax (the details are given
below). One way to think about it is that the backslash character
escapes the prefix syntax temporarily to use the infix syntax. For
example a three element list could be written as ‘<samp>(<var>X</var>
\<var>Y</var> <var>Z</var>)</samp>’, the elements <var>X</var> and <var>Z</var> are expressed
using the normal prefix syntax and <var>Y</var> is expressed using the
infix syntax.
</p>
<p>When the reader encounters an infix datum, it constructs a syntax tree
for that particular datum. Each node of this tree is represented with
a list whose first element is a symbol indicating the type of node.
For example, ‘<samp>(six.identifier abc)</samp>’ is the representation of the
infix identifier ‘<samp>abc</samp>’ and ‘<samp>(six.index (six.identifier abc)
(six.identifier i))</samp>’ is the representation of the infix datum
‘<samp>abc[i];</samp>’.

<h3 class="subsection">18.12.2 SIX semantics</h3>
<p>The semantics of SIX depends on the definition of the
<code>six.<var>XXX</var></code> identifiers (as functions and macros). Many of
these identifiers are predefined macros which give SIX a semantics
that is close to C’s. The user may override these definitions to
change the semantics either globally or locally. For example,
<code>six.x^y</code> is a predefined macro that expands <code>(six.x^y x y)</code>
into <code>(bitwise-xor x y)</code>. If the user prefers the ‘<samp>^</samp>’
operator to express exponentiation in a specific function, then in
that function <code>six.x^y</code> can be redefined as a macro that expands
<code>(six.x^y x y)</code> into <code>(expt x y)</code>. Note that the
associativity and precedence of operators cannot be changed as that is
a syntactic issue.
</p>
<p>Note that the following identifiers are not predefined, and
consequently they do not have a predefined semantics:
<code>six.label</code>, <code>six.goto</code>, <code>six.switch</code>, <code>six.case</code>,
<code>six.break</code>, <code>six.continue</code>, <code>six.return</code>,
<code>six.clause</code>, <code>six.x:-y</code>, and <code>six.!</code>.
</p>
<p>The following is an example showing some of the predefined semantics
of SIX:

<h1 class="chapter">19. C-interface</h1>
<a name="index-FFI"></a>
<a name="index-foreign-function-interface"></a>
<p>The Gambit Scheme system offers a mechanism for interfacing Scheme code
and C code called the “C-interface”. A Scheme program indicates which
C functions it needs to have access to and which Scheme procedures can
be called from C, and the C interface automatically constructs the
corresponding Scheme procedures and C functions. The conversions needed
to transform data from the Scheme representation to the C representation
(and back), are generated automatically in accordance with the argument
and result types of the C function or Scheme procedure.
</p>
<p>The C-interface places some restrictions on the types of data that can
be exchanged between C and Scheme. The mapping of data types between C
and Scheme is discussed in the next section. The remaining sections of
this chapter describe each special form of the C-interface.

<h2 class="section">19.1 The mapping of types between C and Scheme</h2>
<p>Scheme and C do not provide the same set of built-in data types so it is
important to understand which Scheme type is compatible with which C
type and how values get mapped from one environment to the other. To
improve compatibility a new type is added to Scheme, the ‘<samp>foreign</samp>’
object type, and the following data types are added to C:

<p>The <code>struct</code>, <code>union</code>, <code>type</code>, <code>pointer</code> and
<code>nonnull-pointer</code> types are “foreign types” and they are
represented on the Scheme side as “foreign objects”. A foreign object
is internally represented as a pointer. This internal pointer is
identical to the C pointer being represented in the case of the
<code>pointer</code> and <code>nonnull-pointer</code> types.
</p>
<p>In the case of the <code>struct</code>, <code>union</code> and <code>type</code> types,
the internal pointer points to a copy of the C data type being
represented. When an instance of one of these types is converted from C
to Scheme, a block of memory is allocated from the C heap and
initialized with the instance and then a foreign object is allocated
from the Scheme heap and initialized with the pointer to this copy.
This approach may appear overly complex, but it allows the conversion of
C++ classes that do not have a zero parameter constructor or an
assignment method (i.e. when compiling with a C++ compiler an instance
is copied using ‘<samp>new <var>type</var> (<var>instance</var>)</samp>’, which calls the
copy-constructor of <var>type</var> if it is a class; <var>type</var>’s assignment
operator is never used). Conversion from Scheme to C simply
dereferences the internal pointer (no allocation from the C heap is
performed). Deallocation of the copy on the C heap is under the control
of the release function attached to the foreign object (see below).
</p>
<p>The optional <var>tags</var> field of foreign type specifications is used
for type checking on the Scheme side. The <var>tags</var> field must be
<code>#f</code>, a symbol or a non-empty list of symbols. When it is not
specified the <var>tags</var> field defaults to a symbol whose name, as
returned by <code>symbol->string</code>, is the C type declaration for that
type. For example the symbol ‘<samp>char**</samp>’ is the default for the
type ‘<samp>(pointer (pointer char))</samp>’. A <var>tags</var> field that is a
single symbol is equivalent to a list containing only that symbol.
The first symbol in the list of tags is the primary tag. For example
the primary tag of the type ‘<samp>(pointer char)</samp>’ is ‘<samp>char*</samp>’ and
the primary tag of the type ‘<samp>(pointer char (foo bar))</samp>’ is
‘<samp>foo</samp>’.
</p>
<p>Type compatibility between two foreign types depends on their tags.
An instance of a foreign type <var>T</var> can be used where a foreign type
<var>E</var> is expected if and only if
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<var>T</var>’s <var>tags</var> field is <code>#f</code>, or
</li><li>
<var>E</var>’s <var>tags</var> field is <code>#f</code>, or
</li><li>
<var>T</var>’s primary tag is a member of <var>E</var>’s tags.
</li></ul>
<p>For the safest code a <var>tags</var> field of <code>#f</code> should be used
sparingly, as it completely bypasses type checking. The external
representation of Scheme foreign objects (used by the <code>write</code>
procedure) contains the primary tag (if the <var>tags</var> field is not
<code>#f</code>), and the hexadecimal address denoted by the internal
pointer, for example ‘<samp>#<char** #2 0x2AAC535C></samp>’. Note that the
hexadecimal address is in C notation, which can be easily transferred
to a C debugger with a “cut-and-paste”.
</p>
<p>A <var>release-function</var> can also be specified within a foreign type
specification. The <var>release-function</var> must be <code>#f</code> or a string
naming a C function with a single parameter of type ‘<samp>void*</samp>’ (in
which the internal pointer is passed) and with a result of type
‘<samp>___SCMOBJ</samp>’ (for returning an error code). When the
<var>release-function</var> is not specified or is <code>#f</code> a default
function is constructed by the C-interface. This default function does
nothing in the case of the <code>pointer</code> and <code>nonnull-pointer</code>
types (deallocation is not the responsibility of the C-interface) and
returns the fixnum ‘<samp>___FIX(___NO_ERR)</samp>’ to indicate no error. In
the case of the <code>struct</code>, <code>union</code> and <code>type</code> types, the
default function reclaims the copy on the C heap referenced by the
internal pointer (when using a C++ compiler this is done using
‘<samp>delete (<var>type</var>*)<var>internal-pointer</var></samp>’, which calls the
destructor of <var>type</var> if it is a class) and returns
‘<samp>___FIX(___NO_ERR)</samp>’. In many situations the default
<var>release-function</var> will perform the appropriate cleanup for the
foreign type. However, in certain cases special operations (such as
decrementing a reference count, removing the object from a table, etc)
must be performed. For such cases a user supplied
<var>release-function</var> is needed.
</p>
<p>The <var>release-function</var> is invoked at most once for any foreign
object. After the <var>release-function</var> is invoked, the foreign
object is considered “released” and can no longer be used in a
foreign type conversion. When the garbage collector detects that a
foreign object is no longer reachable by the program, it will invoke
the <var>release-function</var> if the foreign object is not yet released.
When there is a need to release the foreign object promptly, the
program can explicitly call <code>(foreign-release! <var>obj</var>)</code> which
invokes the <var>release-function</var> if the foreign object is not yet
released, and does nothing otherwise. The call
<code>(foreign-released? <var>obj</var>)</code> returns a boolean indicating
whether the foreign object <var>obj</var> has been released yet or not.
The call <code>(foreign-address <var>obj</var>)</code> returns the address
denoted by the internal pointer of foreign object <var>obj</var> or 0 if it
has been released. The call <code>(foreign? <var>obj</var>)</code> tests that
<var>obj</var> is a foreign object. Finally the call <code>(foreign-tags
<var>obj</var>)</code> returns the list of tags of foreign object <var>obj</var>, or
<code>#f</code>.

<p>All Scheme types are compatible with the C types <code>scheme-object</code>
and <code>bool</code>. Conversion to and from the C type
<code>scheme-object</code> is the identity function on the object encoding.
This provides a low-level mechanism for accessing Scheme’s object
representation from C (with the help of the macros in the
‘<samp>gambit.h</samp>’ header file). When a C <code>bool</code> type is expected,
an extended Scheme boolean can be passed (<code>#f</code> is converted to 0
and all other values are converted to 1).
</p>
<p>The Scheme boolean <code>#f</code> can be passed to the C environment where
a <code>char-string</code>, <code>ISO-8859-1-string</code>, <code>UTF-8-string</code>,
<code>UTF-16-string</code>, <code>UCS-2-string</code>, <code>UCS-4-string</code>,
<code>wchar_t-string</code>, <code>pointer</code> or <code>function</code> type is
expected. In this case, <code>#f</code> is converted to the ‘<samp>NULL</samp>’
pointer. C <code>bool</code>s are extended booleans so any value different
from 0 represents true. Thus, a C <code>bool</code> passed to the Scheme
environment is mapped as follows: 0 to <code>#f</code> and all other values
to <code>#t</code>.
</p>
<p>A Scheme character passed to the C environment where any C character
type is expected is converted to the corresponding character in the C
environment. An error is signaled if the Scheme character does not fit
in the C character. Any C character type passed to Scheme is converted
to the corresponding Scheme character. An error is signaled if the C
character does not fit in the Scheme character.
</p>
<p>A Scheme exact integer passed to the C environment where a C integer
type (other than <code>char</code>) is expected is converted to the
corresponding integral value. An error is signaled if the value falls
outside of the range representable by that integral type. C integer
values passed to the Scheme environment are mapped to the same Scheme
exact integer. If the value is outside the fixnum range, a bignum is
created.
</p>
<p>A Scheme inexact real passed to the C environment is converted to the
corresponding <code>float</code>, <code>double</code>, <code>float32</code> or
<code>float64</code> value. C <code>float</code>, <code>double</code>, <code>float32</code> and
<code>float64</code> values passed to the Scheme environment are mapped to the
closest Scheme inexact real.
</p>
<p>Scheme’s rational numbers and complex numbers are not compatible with
any C numeric type.
</p>
<p>A Scheme string passed to the C environment where any C string type is
expected is converted to a null terminated string using the appropriate
encoding. The C string is a fresh copy of the Scheme string. If the C
string was created for an argument of a <code>c-lambda</code>, the C string
will be reclaimed when the <code>c-lambda</code> returns. If the C string was
created for returning the result of a <code>c-define</code> to C, the caller
is responsible for reclaiming the C string with a call to the
<code>___release_string</code> function (see below for an example). Any C
string type passed to the Scheme environment causes the creation of a
fresh Scheme string containing a copy of the C string (unless the C
string is equal to <code>NULL</code>, in which case it is converted to
<code>#f</code>).
</p>
<p>A foreign type passed to the Scheme environment causes the creation
and initialization of a Scheme foreign object with the appropriate
tags (except for the case of a <code>pointer</code> equal to <code>NULL</code>
which is converted to <code>#f</code>). A Scheme foreign object can be
passed where a foreign type is expected, on the condition that the
tags are compatible and the Scheme foreign object is not yet released.
The value <code>#f</code> is also acceptable for a <code>pointer</code> type, and
is converted to <code>NULL</code>.
</p>
<p>Scheme procedures defined with the <code>c-define</code> special form can be
passed where the <code>function</code> and <code>nonnull-function</code> types are
expected. The value <code>#f</code> is also acceptable for a <code>function</code>
type, and is converted to <code>NULL</code>. No other Scheme procedures are
acceptable. Conversion from the <code>function</code> and
<code>nonnull-function</code> types to Scheme procedures is not currently
implemented.

<p>Initially, the C file produced by <code>gsc</code> contains only an

number of macro and procedure declarations to access the Scheme object
representation. The special form <code>c-declare</code> adds
<i>c-declaration</i> (which must be a string containing the C
declarations) to the C file. This string is copied to the C file on a
new line so it can start with preprocessor directives. All types of C
declarations are allowed (including type declarations, variable
declarations, function declarations, ‘<samp>#include</samp>’ directives,
‘<samp>#define</samp>’s, and so on). These declarations are visible to
subsequent <code>c-declare</code>s, <code>c-initialize</code>s, and
<code>c-lambda</code>s, and <code>c-define</code>s in the same module. The most
common use of this special form is to declare the external functions

must either be declared explicitly or by including a header file which
contains the appropriate C declarations.

<p>The <code>c-lambda</code> special form makes it possible to create a Scheme
procedure that will act as a representative of some C function or C code
sequence. The first subform is a list containing the type of each
argument. The type of the function’s result is given next. Finally,
the last subform is a string that either contains the name of the C
function to call or some sequence of C code to execute. Variadic C
functions are not supported. The resulting Scheme procedure takes
exactly the number of arguments specified and delivers them in the same
order to the C function. When the Scheme procedure is called, the
arguments will be converted to their C representation and then the C
function will be called. The result returned by the C function will be
converted to its Scheme representation and this value will be returned
from the Scheme procedure call. An error will be signaled if some
conversion is not possible. The temporary memory allocated from the C
heap for the conversion of the arguments and result will be reclaimed
whether there is an error or not.
</p>
<p>When <i>c-name-or-code</i> is not a valid C identifier, it is treated as
an arbitrary piece of C code. Within the C code the variables
‘<samp>___arg1</samp>’, ‘<samp>___arg2</samp>’, etc. can be referenced to access the
converted arguments. Note that the C <code>return</code> statement can’t be
used to return from the procedure. Instead, the <code>___return</code>
macro must be used. A procedure whose <i>result-type</i> is not
<code>void</code> must pass the procedure’s result as the single argument to
the <code>___return</code> macro, for example ‘<samp>___return(123);</samp>’ to
return the value 123. When <i>result-type</i> is <code>void</code>, the
<code>___return</code> macro must be called without a parameter list, for
example ‘<samp>___return;</samp>’.
</p>
<p>The C code is copied to the C file on a new line so it can start with
preprocessor directives. Moreover the C code is always placed at the
head of a compound statement whose lifetime encloses the C to Scheme
conversion of the procedure’s result. Consequently, temporary storage
(strings in particular) declared at the head of the C code can be
returned with the <code>___return</code> macro.
</p>
<p>In the <i>c-name-or-code</i>, the macro ‘<samp>___AT_END</samp>’ may be defined
as the piece of C code to execute before control is returned to Scheme
but after the procedure’s result is converted to its Scheme
representation. This is mainly useful to deallocate temporary storage
contained in the result.
</p>
<p>When passed to the Scheme environment, the C <code>void</code> type is
converted to the void object.

<p>The <code>c-define</code> special form makes it possible to create a C
function that will act as a representative of some Scheme procedure. A
C function named <i>c-name</i> as well as a Scheme procedure bound to the
variable <i>variable</i> are defined. The parameters of the Scheme
procedure are <i>define-formals</i> and its body is at the end of the
form. The type of each argument of the C function, its result type and
<i>c-name</i> (which must be a string) are specified after the parameter
specification of the Scheme procedure. When the C function <i>c-name</i>
is called from C, its arguments are converted to their Scheme
representation and passed to the Scheme procedure. The result of the
Scheme procedure is then converted to its C representation and the C
function <i>c-name</i> returns it to its caller.
</p>
<p>The scope of the C function can be changed with the <i>scope</i>
parameter, which must be a string. This string is placed immediately
before the declaration of the C function. So if <i>scope</i> is the
string <code>"static"</code>, the scope of <i>c-name</i> is local to the module
it is in, whereas if <i>scope</i> is the empty string, <i>c-name</i> is
visible from other modules.
</p>
<p>The <code>c-define</code> special form does not return a value.
It can only appear at top level.
</p>
<p>For example:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample"><b></b>(c-define (proc x #!optional (y x) #!rest z) (int int char float) int "f" ""
(write (cons x (cons y z)))
(newline)
(+ x y))
(proc 1 2 #\x 1.5) => 3 and prints (1 2 #\x 1.5)
(proc 1) => 2 and prints (1 1)
; if f is called from C with the call f (1, 2, 'x', 1.5)
; the value 3 is returned and (1 2 #\x 1.5) is printed.
; f has to be called with 4 arguments.

<p>The <code>c-define</code> special form is particularly useful when the
driving part of an application is written in C and Scheme procedures
are called directly from C. The Scheme part of the application is in
a sense a “server” that is providing services to the C part. The
Scheme procedures that are to be called from C need to be defined
using the <code>c-define</code> special form. Before it can be used, the
Scheme part must be initialized with a call to the function
‘<samp>___setup</samp>’. Before the program terminates, it must call the
function ‘<samp>___cleanup</samp>’ so that the Scheme part may do final
cleanup. A sample application is given in the file
‘<samp>tests/server.scm</samp>’.

<p>This form associates the type identifier <i>name</i> to the C type
<i>type</i>. The <i>name</i> must not clash with predefined types
(e.g. <code>char-string</code>, <code>ISO-8859-1</code>, etc.) or with types previously
defined with <code>c-define-type</code> in the same file. The
<code>c-define-type</code> special form does not return a value. It can only
appear at top level.
</p>
<p>If only the two parameters <i>name</i> and <i>type</i> are supplied then
after this definition, the use of <i>name</i> in a type specification is
synonymous to <i>type</i>.
</p>
<p>For example:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample"><b></b>(c-define-type FILE "FILE")
(c-define-type FILE* (pointer FILE))
(c-define-type time-struct-ptr (pointer (struct "tms")))

(define fgetc (c-lambda (FILE*) int "fgetc"))
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>Note that identifiers are not case-sensitive in standard Scheme but it
is good programming practice to use a <i>name</i> with the same case as
in C.
</p>
<p>If four or more parameters are supplied, then <i>type</i> must be a
string naming the C type, <i>c-to-scheme</i> and <i>scheme-to-c</i> must
be strings suffixing the C macros that convert data of that type between
C and Scheme. If <i>cleanup</i> is supplied it must be a boolean
indicating whether it is necessary to perform a cleanup operation (such
as freeing memory) when data of that type is converted from Scheme to C
(it defaults to <code>#t</code>). The cleanup information is used when the C
stack is unwound due to a continuation invocation (see
<a href="#continuations">Continuations and the C-interface</a>). Although it is safe to always specify <code>#t</code>,
it is more efficient in time and space to specify <code>#f</code> because the
unwinding mechanism can skip C-interface frames which only contain
conversions of data types requiring no cleanup. Two pairs of C macros
need to be defined for conversions performed by <code>c-lambda</code> forms
and two pairs for conversions performed by <code>c-define</code> forms:
</p>

</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>The macros prefixed with <code>___BEGIN</code> perform the conversion and
those prefixed with <code>___END</code> perform any cleanup necessary (such as
freeing memory temporarily allocated for the conversion). The macro
<code>___END_CFUN_<span class="roman"><i>scheme-to-c</i></span></code> must free the result of the
conversion if it is memory allocated, and
<code>___END_SFUN_<span class="roman"><i>scheme-to-c</i></span></code> must not (i.e. it is the
responsibility of the caller to free the result).
</p>
<p>The first parameter of these macros is the C variable that contains the
value to be converted, and the second parameter is the C variable in
which to store the converted value. The third parameter, when present,
is the index (starting at 1) of the parameter of the <code>c-lambda</code> or
<code>c-define</code> form that is being converted (this is useful for
reporting precise error information when a conversion is impossible).
</p>
<p>To allow for type checking, the first three <code>___BEGIN</code> macros must
expand to an unterminated compound statement prefixed by an <code>if</code>,
conditional on the absence of type check error:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample"><b></b>if ((___err = <var>conversion_operation</var>) == ___FIX(___NO_ERR)) {

<p>The last <code>___BEGIN</code> macro must expand to an unterminated compound
statement:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample"><b></b>{ ___err = <var>conversion_operation</var>;
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>If type check errors are impossible then a <code>___BEGIN</code> macro can
simply expand to an unterminated compound statement performing the
conversion:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample"><b></b>{ <var>conversion_operation</var>;
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>The <code>___END</code> macros must expand to a statement, or to nothing if no
cleanup is required, followed by a closing brace (to terminate the
compound statement started at the corresponding <code>___BEGIN</code> macro).
</p>
<p>The <var>conversion_operation</var> is typically a function call that returns
an error code value of type <code>___SCMOBJ</code> (the error codes are defined in
‘<samp>gambit.h</samp>’, and the error code <code>___FIX(___UNKNOWN_ERR)</code> is available
for generic errors). <var>conversion_operation</var> can also set the
variable <code>___errmsg</code> of type <code>___SCMOBJ</code> to a specific Scheme
string error message.
</p>
<p>Below is a simple example showing how to interface to an ‘<samp>EBCDIC</samp>’
character type. Memory allocation is not needed for conversion and type
check errors are impossible when converting EBCDIC to Scheme characters,
but they are possible when converting from Scheme characters to EBCDIC
since Gambit supports Unicode characters.

<p>The fields of the pair are initialized to the <code>car</code> and
<code>cdr</code> parameters. The <code>___ps</code> parameter indicates how the
pair is allocated. A <code>NULL</code> <code>___ps</code> parameter will allocate
the pair permanently (i.e. the pair will only be deallocated when
<code>___cleanup</code> is called). Otherwise a “still” object is
allocated and the <code>___ps</code> parameter indicates the processor in
whose heap the object is allocated (this is to support multithreaded
execution). Still objects are reference counted and initially have a
reference count equal to 1. The call to <code>___release_scmobj</code> in
the macros <code>___END_CFUN_POINT_to_SCMOBJ</code> and
<code>___END_SFUN_POINT_to_SCMOBJ</code> decrement this reference count. A
still object whose reference count is zero will be deallocated when a
garbage collection is performed and there are no references to it from
the Scheme world. Note that the use of the <code>___PSD</code> macro
in the parameter list of <code>SCMOBJ_to_POINT</code> and the <code>___PSP</code> macro
in the calls of <code>SCMOBJ_to_POINT</code>, are necessary to propagate the
current processor state to that function.

<h2 class="section">19.7 Continuations and the C-interface</h2>
<a name="index-continuations"></a>
<p>The C-interface allows C to Scheme calls to be nested. This means
that during a call from C to Scheme another call from C to Scheme
can be performed. This case occurs in the following program:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample"><b></b>(c-declare #<<c-declare-end
int p (char *); /* forward declarations */
int q (void);
int a (char *x) { return 2 * p (x+1); }
int b (short y) { return y + q (); }
c-declare-end
)
(define a (c-lambda (char-string) int "a"))
(define b (c-lambda (short) int "b"))
(c-define (p z) (char-string) int "p" ""
(+ (b 10) (string-length z)))
(c-define (q) () int "q" ""
123)
(write (a "hello"))
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>In this example, the main Scheme program calls the C function ‘<samp>a</samp>’
which calls the Scheme procedure ‘<samp>p</samp>’ which in turn calls the C
function ‘<samp>b</samp>’ which finally calls the Scheme procedure ‘<samp>q</samp>’.
</p>
<p>Gambit maintains the Scheme continuation separately from the C stack,
thus allowing the Scheme continuation to be unwound independently from
the C stack. The C stack frame created for the C function ‘<samp>f</samp>’ is
only removed from the C stack when control returns from ‘<samp>f</samp>’ or when
control returns to a C function “above” ‘<samp>f</samp>’. Special care is
required for programs which escape to Scheme (using first-class
continuations) from a Scheme to C (to Scheme) call because the C stack
frame will remain on the stack. The C stack may overflow if this
happens in a loop with no intervening return to a C function. To avoid
this problem make sure the C stack gets cleaned up by executing a normal
return from a Scheme to C call.

Version 2.1, February 1999
Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts
as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence
the version number 2.1.]
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You
can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide
complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is
modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
introduced by others.
</pre></td></tr></table>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample"><b></b> Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot
effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that
any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser
General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use
this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
libraries into non-free programs.
When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary
General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General
Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
the library.
We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less
of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages
are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
special circumstances.
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes
a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be
allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free
library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this
case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
system.
Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
that program using a modified version of the Library.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
be combined with the library in order to run.
</pre></td></tr></table>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample"><b></b> GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other
program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or
other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License").
Each licensee is addressed as "you".
A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the
Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
included without limitation in the term "modification".)
"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means
all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
and installation of the library.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
and what the program that uses the Library does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
Library.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
fee.
</pre></td></tr></table>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample"><b></b> 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
in the event an application does not supply such function or
table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
its purpose remains meaningful.
(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
application-supplied function or table used by this function must
be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
root function must still compute square roots.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Library.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
the scope of this License.
3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do
this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the
ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in
these notices.
</pre></td></tr></table>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample"><b></b> Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
the Library into a program that is not a library.
4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
medium customarily used for software interchange.
If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a
work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
Library will still fall under Section 6.)
Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.

<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample"><b></b> 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or
link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
engineering for debugging such modifications.
You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work
during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
of these things:
a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood
that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
to use the modified definitions.)
b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a
copy of the library already present on the user's computer system,
rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)
will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if
the user installs one, as long as the modified version is
interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
least three years, to give the same user the materials
specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
than the cost of performing this distribution.
d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
specified materials from the same place.
e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,
the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is
normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
the executable.
It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot
use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
distribute.
7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the
Sections above.
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any
attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Library or works based on it.
10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with
this License.

infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,
and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
integrity of the free software distribution system which is
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add
an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
written in the body of this License.
13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.
Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a
license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
the Free Software Foundation.

<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="smallexample"><b></b> How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting
redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the
ordinary General Public License).
To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is
safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.>

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
