Add a primitive

  • Add function/definitions to runtime.h and runtime.c
  • Rebuild and install runtime library.
  • Add to prim? section in transforms.sld. Some functions may need to added to the next section in the file, so they are not constant-folded (IE, evaluated at compile time).
  • Add above the c-compile-primitive section in cgen.sld. Some functions may need to be added in multiple places to indicate they take additional arguments, call their continuation, etc.

TODO: need to develop this section better to come up with a workable/optimal approach to building things:

  • Install modified .sld files -- ???

  • Compile: cyclone scheme/cyclone/cgen.sld

  • Copy modified files to cyclone-bootstrap, including cgen.c

  • install cyclone-bootstrap

  • run make clean ; make && make bootstrap from cyclone repo

  • run make clean ; ./install from bootstrap repo

  • Add primitives to the list in eval.sld. Rebuild one more time.
