Phase 1 (gc-dev) - Add gc.h, make sure it compiles. Phase 2 (gc-dev2) - Change how strings are allocated, to clean up the code and be compatible with a new GC algorithm. Phase 3 (gc-dev3) - Change from using a Cheney-style copying collector to a naive mark&sweep algorithm. Notes for adding new thread data param - primitives that will now need to accept the param: ((eq? p 'Cyc-write-char) "Cyc_write_char") Cyc_vector_set Cyc_vector_ref Cyc_vector_length(void *data, object v) { Cyc_length Cyc_number2string(void *data, object cont, object n) { object Cyc_symbol2string(object cont, object sym) { object Cyc_list2string(void *data, object cont, object lst){ #define Cyc_string_append_va_list(data, argc) { \ object Cyc_string_set(object str, object k, object chr) { object Cyc_string_ref(void *data, object str, object k) { object Cyc_substring(void *data, object cont, object str, object start, object end) { object Cyc_installation_dir(object cont, object type) { object Cyc_command_line_arguments(object cont) { object Cyc_make_vector(object cont, object len, object fill) { object Cyc_list2vector(void *data, object cont, object l) { declare_num_op(Cyc_sum, Cyc_sum_op, dispatch_sum, +, 0); declare_num_op(Cyc_sub, Cyc_sub_op, dispatch_sub, -, 0); declare_num_op(Cyc_mul, Cyc_mul_op, dispatch_mul, *, 0); declare_num_op(Cyc_div, Cyc_div_op, dispatch_div, /, 1); port_type Cyc_io_open_input_file(void *data, object str) { port_type Cyc_io_open_output_file(void *data, object str) { object Cyc_io_read_line(void *data, object cont, object port) { - plan: - update runtime, get it to compile - have not adjusted any code that checks value of argc, will probably need to do that EG for Cyc_num_op_va_list - update any associated tools (dispatch.c, etc) - update cgen - integration
