NAME
scc - Scheme to C compilerSYNTAX
scc [ option ] ... file ...DESCRIPTION
The scc command invokes a Scheme compiler which accepts the language defined in the essential portions of Revised4 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme, with minor constraints and some additions. The compiler produces C source files which are then compiled using the system's C compiler to produce conventional .o and a.out files. The C code produced by this compiler may be intermixed with other C code or code written in other languages.OPTIONS
These options are accepted by scc. Other options will be assumed to be options of the system's C compiler and they will be passed to it when it is invoked.- -cc C compiler
- Compile the Scheme compiler produced C code with C compiler. If this flag is not supplied, then the C compiler cc will be used.
- -C
- Compile the Scheme programs found in the files source.sc and leave the resulting code in source.c files. No further operations are performed.
- -I directory
- Specifies a directory to be searched by include for source files.
- -f symbol value
- Define the compile-time constant symbol to value. This is equivalent to the construct (define-constant symbol value) appearing in the Scheme source.
- -i
- Combine the source and object files into a Scheme interpreter. The module name for each Scheme source file is automatically determined. Module names for previously compiled modules must be specified using the -m option.
- -m module-name
- Specifies the name of a previously compiled module. Note that the Scheme compiler will downshift the alphabetic characters in the module-name. Modules are initialized in the order that the -m flags appear.
- -Ob
- Optimize code by omitting bounds checks on vectors and strings.
- -Og
- Optimize code by omitting stack trace-back code.
- -On
- Optimize code by assuming that all numbers are fixed point.
- -Ot
- Optimize code by omitting type error checks.
- -pg
- Produce profiled code for run-time measurement using gprof(1). The profiled library is used in lieu of the standard Scheme library.
- -scgc statflag
- Enables garbage collection statistics. If set to 1, then garbage collection statistics will be printed. The default is 0, that will result in no statistics.
- -sch heap
- Specifies the compiler's initial heap size in megabytes. The default is system dependent.
- -scl percent
- Specifies the percent of the heap allocated after a generational garbage collection that will force a full collection. The default is 40.
- -scmh heap
- Specifies the compiler's maximum heap size in megabytes. The default is five times the initial size of the heap.
- -LIBDIR directory
- Specifies a directory containing the files: predef.sc, objects.h, libsc.a, and optionally libsc_p.a.
- -log
- Logs information internal to the compiler to the C source file produced by the compiler. Each type of information is controlled by a flag: -source, -macro, -expand, -closed, -transform, -lambda, -tree, -lap, -peep. The flag -log is equivalent to specifying the flags: -source, -macro, -expand, -closed, -transform, -lambda, -tree.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The items controlled by -sc.. flags can also be controlled by environment variables. If both the flag and the environment variable are provided, then the flag's value will be used.- SCGCINFO
- Controls the reporting of garbage collection statistics to the standard error file. If set to 1, then garbage collection statistics will be printed. The default setting is 0 that will not print the statistics.
- SCHEAP
- Specifies the initial size of the heap in megabytes. The default heap size is system dependent.
- SCLIMIT
- Specifies the percent of the heap allocated after a generational garbage collection that will force a full collection. The default is 40.
- SCMAXHEAP
- Specifies the maximum size of the heap in megabytes.
INPUT FILES
Following the command options come one or more file names.- name.sc
- Scheme source. Scheme source files will be compiled into C files with the name name.c.
- name.c
- C source.
- name.s
- Assembly language source.
- name.o
- Object file which may have been generated by any compiler.
- name.a
- Object file archive which may have been generated by any compiler.
DIAGNOSTICS
The disgnostic messages produced by the compiler are printed on the standard error file.FILES
/.../schemetoc/... source and documentation/.../libsc.a library
/.../libsc_p.a profiled library (optional)
/.../scc c-shell script
/.../sccomp compiler
/.../predef.sc predefined functions
/.../objects.h definitions "#include'd" in the C code
SC-TO-C.c temporary C source file
source.S2C temporary C source file
SC-TO-C.o temporary object file
LIMITATIONS
When the compiler is able to identify every call to a procedure, it is able to generate it "in-line", and perform tail calls by using "goto". This analysis covers most loops, conditional expressions, and finite state machines. For non-tail recursive calls, the code generated by the compiler uses the standard C mechanisms for procedure call and return. This therefore requires that each top-level Scheme procedure, and any Scheme procedure which has more than one call which is not tail-recursive be compiled into its own C procedure. Calls to such procedures will be tail-recursive if and only if the host C compiler optimizes tail-recursion.SEE ALSO
