- This is version 3.0 of Siod, Scheme In One Defun.
-
- It is a small implementation of the Scheme programming language.
-
- George Carrette, May 1, 1994. gjc@mitech.com, gjc@paradigm.com.
-
- See siod.doc and the source file slib.c for more information.
-
- Building:
- For Unix: makefile
- For VMS: descrip.mms or makefile.com
- For Windows NT: make.bat which invokes MAKEFILE.WNT
- For Macintosh: See siod.doc for making your Think C project file.
- Running:
- siod -isiod.scm
- See siod.doc some standard functions are in the file siod.scm
-
- The files slib.c and sliba.c may serve as a subroutine library to add
- scheme interpreter functionality to any existing program.
-
- Even though this is small, the implementation supports some nice
- features such as arrays, hash tables, and fast/binary data saving and
- restoring. Also included in this release are interfaces to the
- commercial relational databases DIGITAL RDB and Oracle. (See the files
- sql*.c for information on building in these extra features)
-
- This version has been compiled and run personally by me in the
- following environments, with the resulting executable sizes (not stripped):
-
- - SPARC, SUNOS with GNU cc 73 Kbytes
- - SPARC, SUNOS with GNU g++ 82 Kbytes
- - VAX/VMS, VAX C 42 Kbytes
- - ALPHA/VMS, DEC C 107 Kbytes
- - MAC-SE/30, THINK C 5.0 55 Kbytes
- - DECpc AXP 150, WINDOWS NT, Microsoft C 157 Kbytes
- - 486 PC, WINDOWS NT, Microsoft C 79 Kbytes
-
- Positive reports have come in about other environments such as OS/2 and OSF/1.
-
- Short description:
-
- Siod is a small scheme interpreter with support for:
-
- - lists, numbers, symbols, strings, arrays.
- - string and numeric arrays compatible with C types long*,char*,double*.
- - user-defined datatypes, new types added on fly, with hooks to
- reading, evaluation, printing, equal, hashing,
- - c-style I/O including fopen, fclose, fseek, ftell, fread, fwrite.
- - fast/binary data-structure printing and reading.
- - hash tables.
- - C-programmer friendly programming for adding functionality.
- Lisp arguments are passed as C arguments. No funky stacks
- or stack pointers to keep track of. No storage management hassles.

- name: SIOD (Scheme In One Defun/Day)
- version: 3.0
- interface from: C, C++, Scheme
- interface to: Oracle, Digital RDB, flat ascii, flat binary.
- access methods: flat files contain symbolic expression such as hash tables.
- multiuser: yes with commercial DB, no with flat files.
- transactions: yes with commercial DB, no with flat files.
- distributed: yes with commercial DB, no with flat files.
- query language: SQL, any SCHEME program.
- limits: None.
- robustness: ?
- description: This is a scheme interpreter with built-in procedures using
- the Oracle Call Interface (OCI) and DIGITAL RDB SQL Services.
- You can use it merely as a flexible database loader/unloader
- with fast binary flat-file data save/restore. Or you can
- use it to apply the classic "Symbolic Manipulation" or
- "Artificial Intelligence" techniques on your data sets.
- The main-program can be oriented towards batch, character-cell
- terminal, or Window/GUI.
- references: "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" MIT Press.
- announcements: comp.lang.scheme, comp.databases.rdb, comp.databases.oracle
- bugs: Contact the author.
- requires: C compiler, your favorite commercial DB.
- ports: VMS, WINDOWS NT, UNIX, OS/2, MACINTOSH.
