[Chicken-users] csc and standard input

[Michele La Monaca]

Hi all,

I think it would be useful if csc were able to work directly from the
standard input (e.g. in case of no source files). For example:

csc -o quick_test
[paste code]
Ctrl-D
./quick_test

or

cat f.scm | preprocessor | csc
./a.out

On most Unixes you can obtain the result with /dev/stdin, but it
doesn't seem a standard mandated requirement:

and of course it isn't applicable to Windows (mingw). So I would
favour an explicit support for stdin in csc.

Regards,
Michele
