Question About the Variable Allocator

Hello, I've always been puzzled about part of the variable allocator. In module/language/tree-il/analyze.scm, we deal with allocations, which are hash tables that say where in the stack each local variable goes. The maps are two level, symbol -> {lambda -> location}. The reason given is that diffe

Re: %default-port-conversion-strategy and string ports

Hey, I don't want to comment on what guile should choose to do in the future but just wanted to say which interface would be clear to me. In the first place I agree that ports should be seperated and not mixed textual/binary (mind, I know it may be that this can't be just changed that easily in g

Hello, I've been playing around with the wip-rtl branch, and I have an error I don't understand. Why does this give me a "bad instruction" error: (use-modules (system vm rtl)) (define prog (assemble-rtl-program 2 '((assert-nargs-ee/locals 1 1) (mov 0 1 (prog 3) ? On a related note, I've bee

wip-rtl status

Hi, A brief status update on wip-rtl. If this means nothing to you, just skip this mail; at some point in the future there will be more information. I started to look at static constant allocation. In order to do so I needed an object format that could link together different sections with diff

Separate textual/binary ports vs. mixed ports

Hi, Daniel Krueger skribis: > In the first place I agree that ports should be seperated and not > mixed textual/binary Why? (I understand how this would work in terms of APIs & co., I’m just unsure what the rationale is.) Thanks, Ludo’.
