forcing output-port-width
by |/|/ Bendick 15 Mar '09

15 Mar '09

Is there a way to force gambit to think the output port width is some particular number? I'm asking because gambit gets it wrong in emacs, and the gambit debugger seems to truncate lines at the output port width, so I'd like to fix it even if it's just a hack to get the right behavior in my emacs session. Thanks. -- |/|/ Bendick

Keyword and rest parameters, and the print procedure, are now working
by Marc Feeley 14 Mar '09

14 Mar '09

The latest commit on the Scheme repository may interest some of you. Marc From the Changelog: Fixed a long standing bug with handling of keyword and rest parameters, which prevented the procedures print and println to work reliably. Now that the print procedure is reliable and subsumes the "fringe printing" algorithm of the display procedure, the behavior of the display procedure has been changed so that it is closer to what other Scheme systems do (i.e. lists and vectors are written with parentheses, spaces, etc).

Regrets: March 13 last day for GSOC mentorship
by Arthur Smyles 12 Mar '09

12 Mar '09

I'm going to have to withdraw my offer. I've been asked and accepted the administrator role for LispNYC.org. So I'll be putting my ideas over there. Since LispNYC does Scheme, Common Lisp, Clojure, etc. your all invited and encouraged to participate.

Who must free the string memory?
by Alex Queiroz 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

Hallo list, I have a C function like this: ___UCS_2STRING tsk_home_dir(void); which is exported like this: (define home-directory (c-lambda () UCS-2-string "tsk_home_dir")) Everytime tsk_home_dir is called it allocates a new string. Who must free this memory? C or Scheme? Cheers, -- -alex http://www.ventonegro.org/

select connection limits (why not libevent?)
by francesco bracchi 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

I'm trying to take a great number of tcp connections open (> 2000) with gambit, but gsi crashes with a SISSEGV error. I suppose it depends on select () limitiation. Why not use libevent <http://www.monkey.org/%7Eprovos/libevent/> or something similar? francesco.

Very high speed compressor/decompressor for Gambit
by vasil 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

I have nice binding of minilzo to Gambit. Minilzo is very high speed compressor/decompressor by Markus Franz Xaver Johannes Oberhumer (http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/) Last night I wrote a simple binding to it. Its speed so high that allows of compression/decompression of many things in programs on the fly. Sources attached to this letter. Compilation of module: gsc lzo.scm It is possible to built-in it in Gambit. Just put sources in Gambits sources lib directory and make appropriate changes in makefile and makefile.in (add lzo.scm, lzo.c and lzo.o to corresponding sections).

Who else is interested in being a mentor? Who will be the project administrator/co-administrator? I would be willing to volunteer to be the administrator/co-admin for the group. I am also willing to volunteer to be a mentor. The administrator's role is to be the head contact person for the group to Google SOC. The co-administrator is for contingency. Arthur
