Re: [Chicken-users] Chicken as extension language

[Pippo Sbardella]

Hi Thomas,

thanks for the pointers. Btw, it took me some time to find your links starting from:

http://wiki.call-cc.org/man/4/The%20User%27s%20Manual

I think that a comprehensive "toc page" would help. Eg. something like that:

http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/docs/docs-1.8/guile-ref/index.html

A bit intimidating but very effective.

Ciao,
Pippo

Hello,

you may want to check the documentation on embedding CHICKEN into other applications:

  http://wiki.call-cc.org/man/4/Embedding

To make the embedded CHICKEN interpreter useful, you may have to expose functions from CHICKEN to the hosting application, which is easily accomplished using define-external:

  http://wiki.call-cc.org/man/4/Callbacks#define-external

And the other way around, you may have to expose functions from the hosting application to CHICKEN, which is equally possible using the various foreign-* forms:

  http://wiki.call-cc.org/man/4/Accessing%20external%20objects

If these pieces of documentation leave you with any open questions, don't hesitate to ask for specific advice on this list :-)

Ciao,
Thomas
