[Pika-dev] Guile FFI wrapper, status report

[Andreas Rottmann]

Hi!

I'll quit my hacking session on Guile-FFI for today :>. I just managed
to make eceval compile and even run; it seems to work -- I've done no
real testing however. A nice anecdote: When running eceval in valgrind
(which slows execution down by a factor > 20), the Guile
initialization time is nicely (;-) noticable on my Athlon 900, while
when eceval is running on top of Pika, there is almost no delay before
you get the prompt.

Over the next few days, I'll sort the stuff that is usable for Pika
directly (i.e. the fix for the fixnum/word hashing bug) out of my
changes and provide all code in my archive. I'm also contemplating
over if/when I should announce this to guile-user... :-)

Andy
