What you propose seems reasonable to me. Though I have not use the AC stuff enough to say how to do it.
There is a section in the guile manual (Section 5, Section 6.4 of 2.0 manual) on embedding guile into your own program. I believe you will need to call scm_with_guile() to get into debug mode run by guile. You might try to run just a "hello world" example. Does gnu chess use the boehm GC? I wonder how that works in this case. Matt On Jan 4, 2015, at 5:47 AM, Antonio Ceballos <acebal...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Guile folks, > > I am thinking about adding guile support to GNU Chess.
