by José Pedro Magalhães 15 Jan '15

15 Jan '15

Apologies for multiple copies. FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS 12th International Conference on Mathematics of Program Construction, MPC 2015 Königswinter, Germany, 29 June - 1 July 2015 http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/conferences/MPC2015/ BACKGROUND The MPC conferences aim to promote the development of mathematical principles and techniques that are demonstrably practical and effective in the process of constructing computer programs, broadly interpreted. The 2015 MPC conference will be held in Königswinter, Germany, from 29th June to 1st July 2015. The previous conferences were held in Twente, The Netherlands (1989), Oxford, UK (1992), Kloster Irsee, Germany (1995), Marstrand, Sweden (1998), Ponte de Lima, Portugal (2000), Dagstuhl, Germany (2002), Stirling, UK (2004, colocated with AMAST), Kuressaare, Estonia (2006, colocated with AMAST), Marseille, France (2008), Québec City, Canada (2010, colocated with AMAST), and Madrid, Spain (2012). TOPICS Papers are solicited on mathematical methods and tools put to use in program construction. Topics of interest range from algorithmics to support for program construction in programming languages and systems. The notion of "program" is broad, from algorithms to hardware. Some typical areas are type systems, program analysis and transformation, programming-language semantics, security, and program logics. Theoretical contributions are welcome, provided that their relevance to program construction is clear. Reports on applications are welcome, provided that their mathematical basis is evident. We also encourage the submission of "pearls": elegant, instructive, and fun essays on the mathematics of program construction. IMPORTANT DATES * Submission of abstracts: 26 January 2015 * Submission of full papers: 2 February 2015 * Notification to authors: 16 March 2015 * Final version: 13 April 2015 SUBMISSION Submission is in two stages. Abstracts (plain text, 10 to 20 lines) must be submitted by 26 January 2015. Full papers (pdf) adhering to the LaTeX llncs style must be submitted by 2 February 2015. There is no official page limit, but authors should strive for brevity. The web-based system EasyChair will be used for submission (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mpc2015) Papers must report previously unpublished work, and must not be submitted concurrently to a journal or to another conference with refereed proceedings. Accepted papers must be presented at the conference by one of the authors. Please feel free to write to mpc2015(a)easychair.org with any questions about academic matters. The proceedings of MPC 2015 will be published in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, as have all the previous editions. Authors of accepted papers will be expected to transfer copyright to Springer for this purpose. After the conference, authors of the best papers will be invited to submit revised versions to a special issue of the Elsevier journal Science of Computer Programming.

Königswinter is situated on the right bank of the river Rhine, opposite Germany's former capital Bonn, at the foot of the Siebengebirge.

Hello, I am a very satisfied Gambit user. (prebuilt/gambc-v4_6_0-windows-mingw.exe) Now I wont to use latest version. (prebuilt/gambc-v4_7_3-windows-mingw32.exe) (prebuilt/gambc-v4_7_3-windows-mingw64.exe) But I can not use latest version of shell-command as below. ----- C:\Gambit-C_32bit\v4.6.0\bin>gsi Gambit v4.6.0 > (shell-command "echo hello > newfile1") 0 > --- C:\Gambit-C_32bit\v4.7.3\bin>gsi Gambit v4.7.3 > (shell-command "echo helo > newfile1") '"echo helo > newfile1' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. 256 > --- C:\Gambit-C_64bit\v4.7.3\bin>gsi Gambit v4.7.3 > (shell-command "echo helo > newfile1") '"echo helo > newfile1' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. 256 > ----- Is there any way to solve this? Thanks in advance.

https://github.com/feeley/gambit/releases says that the latest release is v4.7.0 while http://gambitscheme.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page says that the latest release is v4.7.3, why is there a discrepancy?

FFI C out parameters
by Jacob Horrocks 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

Hi Gambit. I'm new to C programming, and am struggling in thinking up a way to wrap c functions that have out parameters via pointers. My strongest desire would to be able to call a c-lambda like-so: (receive return-value-1 return-value-2 (my-c-lambda-wrapper-call some args) ....) But I am completely stumped. Thanks for any help/advice you can give.
