< language > A Scheme compiler written in C that emits C and is embeddable in C. Scheme-to-C was written by Joel Bartlett of Digital Western Research Laboratory . Version 15mar93 translates a superset of Revised**4 Scheme to C that is then compiled by the native C compiler for the target machine . This design results in a portable system that allows either stand-alone Scheme programs or programs written in both compiled and interpreted Scheme and other languages. It supports " expansion passing style " macros , foreign function calls, records , and interfaces to Xlib ( Ezd and Scix ).
Scheme-to-C runs on VAX , ULTRIX , DECstation , Alpha AXP OSF /1, Windows 3.1 , Apple Macintosh 7.1, HP 9000/300 , HP 9000/700 , Sony News , SGI Iris and Harris Nighthawk , and other Unix -like 88000 systems. The earlier 01nov91 version runs on Amiga , SunOS , NeXT , and Apollo systems.
