Hello, Version 0.3 of Guile-Reader for Guile 1.8.x is now available:
The SHA1 sums for these two files are: 5770945a8e560b1d670115c1377de8a05fd2baaf guile-reader-0.3.tar.gz 9cd3aca8e1f102324f7c8c2c2e4b0f3fc9d3a62c guile-reader-0.3.tar.gz.sig Documentation is available at: http://www.nongnu.org/guile-reader/ Guile-Reader is a reader creation framework for Guile. It can be thought of as an alternative to Guile's built-in reader. The purpose of Guile-Reader is to allow for the creation of readers for different variants of the Scheme/Lisp syntax. Its design allows the re-use and composition of various parts of a lexer called "token readers". It comes with a library of re-usable token readers that can be used to build a Scheme reader with various extensions. For instance, syntax extensions for DSSSL keywords, SRFI-30 block comments, SRFI-62 S-exp comments and R6RS square-bracket S-exps are provided and readily usable through the `make-alternate-guile-reader' procedure. Additionally, Guile-Reader aims to improve on Guile's reader sub-system by allowing for the coexistence of several, potentially incompatible, readers within a single Guile program. In particular, it provides a "confinement" mechanism that confines changes made via `read-set!' and `read-hash-extend' to the calling module. Although more flexible, Guile-Reader is between 5 and 10 times faster than Guile's built-in `read' (see the file `tests/benchmark.scm'). New in Guile-Reader 0.3: * Various performance improvements (e.g., `make-reader' can now produce an inline version of `scm_getc ()', provided token readers allocate less memory from the heap). * Improved test suite and documentation. * Bug fixes.
