Andy Wingo 6167de4f72 `link' instruction links to symbols by module
* module/system/il/compile.scm (make-glil-var): Only dump the module if
  we actually have one.

* module/system/il/ghil.scm (ghil-define): Make sure that ghil-var-env is
  a ghil-env.

* src/vm_loader.c (link):
* module/system/vm/assemble.scm (dump-object!): Rewrite `link' to take
  two Scheme arguments on the stack: the symbol, as before, and the
  module in which the symbol was found at compile time. This introduces
  some undesireable early binding, but it does let the vm load up
  modules, and (potentially) have multiple modules in one .go file. On a
  practical level, I can now compile modules and have their .go files
  load up the modules' dependencies as necessary.

This is an attempt to revive the Guile-VM project by Keisuke Nishida
written back in the years 2000 and 2001.  Below are a few pointers to
relevant threads on Guile's development mailing list.

Enjoy!

Installation
------------

1. Install the latest Guile from CVS.

2. Install Guile VM:

  % configure
  % make install
  % ln -s module/{guile,system,language} /usr/local/share/guile/

3. Add the following lines to your ~/.guile:

  (use-modules (system vm core)

  (cond ((string=? (car (command-line)) "guile-vm")
	 (use-modules (system repl repl))
	 (start-repl 'scheme)
	 (quit)))

Compile Modules
---------------

Use `guilec' to compile your modules:

  % cat fib.scm
  (define-module (fib) :export (fib))
  (define (fib n) (if (< n 2) 1 (+ (fib (- n 1)) (fib (- n 2)))))

  % guilec fib.scm
  Wrote fib.go
  % guile
  guile> (use-modules (fib))
  guile> (fib 8)
