Second interpreter of scheme code
sisc [ option ... ] [ argument ... [ -- [ program\(hyoption ... ] ]
SISC, the Second Interpreter of Scheme Code, is an extensible Java based interpreter of the Scheme language as described in the Revised^5 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme and adds numerous extensions including Java integration.
-cname
--call-with-argsname
Calls the top\(hylevel procedure name with the remaining command\(hyline arguments after the -- delimiter.
-eexpr
--evalexpr
Evaluates the provided expression.
-x
--no-repl
Instructs SISC to run the command line and then exit without entering the REPL.
-hheap\(hyfile
--heapheap\(hyfile
Specifies that heap-file should be used as the initial heap image.
-pconfig\(hyfile
--propertiesconfig\(hyfile
Specifies a Java property file that contains application properties.
-l[<host>:]<port>
--listen[<host>:]<port>
Server Mode. Listen on <host>/<port> for REPL connections.
The commandline is processed in the following manner.
First, the entire command line is processed, noting the settings of each switch and accumulating all Scheme source files and arguments after the end of options sequence.
Second, the heap file is loaded.
Third, each Scheme source file is loaded in the order they occured on the command line. Errors are noted.
Fourth, if present, the expression in an --eval switch is evaluated. Errors are noted.
Fifth, if present, named function in a --call-with-args switch is applied to the arguments after the end of options sequence. Its return value is noted.
Sixth, --no-repl was not specified, the REPL is invoked.
Finally, if the REPL was run if its return value is an integer, that integer is returned as SISC's overall return code. If the REPL was not run, and any return code supporting step above was run, the most recent return code is returned. If no return code step was performed, but a success/failure step was performed, 1 is returned if any failures occured, 0 otherwise.
SISC supports all the required SRFI\(hy22 bootstraps, consult the body of SRFI\(hy22 for more information about using it to write executable Scheme programs.
