Anyone any experience with srfi-56 on Gambit.
I just downloaded srfi-56 reference implementation and the test suite; the final result with Gambit 4.1.2 was
463 tests passed. 0 tests failed.
There were lots of individual tests that were reported as "close- enough"; I don't yet know what that means.
I haven't tested srfi-56 yet (I am still hoping Bigloo can be installed on my machine. But any way Gambit and Chicken are very mature distributions). What I do not understand: srfi-56 seems to be a very useful library. I browsed through the srfis and haven't yet found an srfi which can be used for reading binary data (floats, doubles, and big endian, small endian). I think it is a pity that it is being withdrawn. Regards, Siegfried Btw: I checked up the Bigloo manual and there it is said: flonums are C double precision numbers and fixnums are 32-2 bits. -- GMX FreeMail: 1 GB Postfach, 5 E-Mail-Adressen, 10 Free SMS.
