* Use "real" procprops.
|
|
|
|
* Add facilities for debugging Scheme programs.
|
|
|
|
The low-level debugging support is done, and we are now working on the
|
|
user interface.
|
|
|
|
* Documentation.
|
|
|
|
We have a new layout for the reference manual which covers the
|
|
C/Scheme interface, as well as the scheme variants. We also want a
|
|
more thorough tutorial manual, but we haven't sketched that out yet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Desired later on
|
|
|
|
* Good interface to Tk
|
|
|
|
* Add a convenient facility for running a pipeline of processes
|
|
with redirections. Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
|
|
is working on this.
|
|
|
|
* Make it possible to link Guile and TK without using libtcl.a, by
|
|
providing Guile-based replacements for the libtcl.a functions that TK
|
|
requires.
|
|
|
|
* Make ordinary lambda functions work as callbacks for Tk;
|
|
eliminate the need for tcl-lambda.
|
|
|
|
* Translators for additional languages; in particular, Perl, Python,
|
|
TCL, Emacs Lisp, and Rexx.
|
|
|
|
* A package for time conversions and formatting.
|
|
|
|
* Make GDB work with Guile
|
|
|
|
This would permit programmable debugging and a nice integrated GUI.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Low-level things
|
|
|
|
* Use the SCM trick of tagging environments with immediates (see m_letrec1)
|
|
to convert source correctly in unmemocopy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Optimizations
|
|
|
|
* Eliminate argument checking for closures. One way to do it is to
|
|
set the cdr of application forms to an immediate representing the
|
|
arity of the call. If the closure contains a corresponding
|
|
immediate, these can be matched against eachother.
|
|
|
|
* Implement a thread-safe alternative to SCM's environment caches:
|
|
|
|
Add an extra argument to SCM_CEVAL: "evaluation context".
|
|
Evaluation contexts contain a stack of locations.
