@subsection{Compile-Time Options}
The include file @ccode{"chibi/features.h"} describes a number of
C preprocessor values which can be enabled or disabled by setting to
1 or 0 respectively. For example, the above commands used the
features @ccode{SEXP_USE_BOEHM}, @ccode{SEXP_USE_DL} and
@ccode{SEXP_USE_STATIC_LIBS}. Many features are still experimental
and may be removed from future releases, but the important features
are listed below.
@itemlist[
@item{@ccode{SEXP_USE_BOEHM} - link with the Boehm GC instead of the native Chibi GC}
@item{@ccode{SEXP_USE_DL} - allow dynamic linking (enabled by default)}
@item{@ccode{SEXP_USE_STATIC_LIBS} - compile the standard C libs statically}
@item{@ccode{SEXP_USE_MODULES} - use the module system}
@item{@ccode{SEXP_USE_GREEN_THREADS} - use lightweight threads (enabled by default)}
@item{@ccode{SEXP_USE_SIMPLIFY} - use a simplification optimizer pass (enabled by default)}
@item{@ccode{SEXP_USE_BIGNUMS} - use bignums (enabled by default)}
@item{@ccode{SEXP_USE_FLONUMS} - use flonums (enabled by default)}
