@chapter Using Guile as an Extension Language
|
|
|
|
The chapters in this part of the manual explain how to use Guile as a
|
|
powerful application extension language.
|
|
|
|
The following chapter, ``GH: A Portable C to Scheme Interface,'' shows
|
|
how to call Guile from your application's C code, and how to add new
|
|
Scheme level procedures to Guile whose behaviour is specified by
|
|
application specific code written in C. The Guile interface functions
|
|
documented in this chapter make up a high level, portable interface
|
|
which (we hope) will also someday work with other Scheme interpreters,
|
|
allowing you to write C code which will work with any of several Scheme
|
|
systems.
|
|
|
|
The portable interface is rich enough to support simple use of Guile as
|
|
an application extension language, but is limited by its own portability
|
|
where a deeper integration is desired between Guile and your
|
|
application's code. The subsequent chapters therefore present aspects
|
|
of libguile that allow you to use more of Guile's C level features, and
|
|
to extend your application in more complex ways than is possible with
|
|
the portable interface.
