Looking for testers on big-endian machines
by Bradley Lucier 08 Mar '24

08 Mar '24

I hope to speed Gambit for operations on smaller bignums. The branch https://github.com/gambiteer/gambit/tree/native-mult seems to work well and passes tests on 32 and 64-bit little-endian machines (Intel and Apple Silicon). I'm trying to test the code on an old (bit-endian) sparc-solaris machine with not much success so far. I'm wondering whether someone has a more modern big-endian machine/OS combination that they could test that branch on. Brad

Gerbil as Gambit Modules
by Dimitris Vyzovitis 08 Mar '24

08 Mar '24

Hello! The first prototype of Gerbil integration inside plain Gambit is a reality: https://github.com/mighty-gerbils/gerbil-gambit What this provides is Gerbil as Gambit modules, which can be used directly from vanilla gambit programs. Note that this is just the runtime part, but there is a wealth of libraries that you can benefit from even without the macros. Also note that this is the first prototype, so there could still be latent bugs; please open an issue in the repo if you run into trouble. -- vyzo
