 * s7, Bill Schottstaedt, Aug-08, bil@ccrma.stanford.edu
 *
 * Mike Scholz provided the FreeBSD support (complex trig funcs, etc)
 * Rick Taube, Andrew Burnson, Donny Ward, and Greg Santucci provided the MS Visual C++ support
 *
 * Documentation is in s7.h and s7.html.
 * s7test.scm is a regression test.
 * glistener.c is a gtk-based listener.
 * repl.scm is a vt100-based listener.
 * cload.scm and lib*.scm tie in various C libraries.
 * lint.scm checks Scheme code for infelicities.
 * r7rs.scm implements some of r7rs (small).
 * write.scm currrently has pretty-print.
 * mockery.scm has the mock-data definitions.
 * stuff.scm has some stuff.
 *
 * s7.c is organized as follows:
 *
 *    structs and type flags
 *    constants
 *    GC
 *    stacks
 *    symbols and keywords
 *    environments
 *    continuations
 *    numbers
 *    characters
 *    strings
 *    ports
 *    format
 *    lists
 *    vectors
 *    hash-tables
 *    c-objects
 *    functions
 *    equal?
 *    generic length, copy, reverse, fill!, append
 *    error handlers
 *    sundry leftovers
 *    multiple-values, quasiquote
 *    eval
 *    multiprecision arithmetic
 *    *s7* environment
 *    initialization
 *    repl
 *
 * naming conventions: s7_* usually are C accessible (s7.h), g_* are scheme accessible (FFI), 
 *   H_* are documentation strings, Q_* are procedure signatures,
 *   *_1 are auxilliary functions, big_* refer to gmp, 
 *   scheme "?" corresponds to C "is_", scheme "->" to C "_to_".

 * ---------------- compile time switches ----------------
 */

#include "mus-config.h"

/*
 * Your config file goes here, or just replace that #include line with the defines you need.
 * The compile-time switches involve booleans, complex numbers, and multiprecision arithmetic.
 * Currently we assume we have setjmp.h (used by the error handlers).
 *
 * Complex number support which is problematic in C++, Solaris, and netBSD
 *   is on the HAVE_COMPLEX_NUMBERS switch. In OSX or Linux, if you're not using C++,
 *
 *   #define HAVE_COMPLEX_NUMBERS 1
 *   #define HAVE_COMPLEX_TRIG 1
 *
 *   In C++ I use:
 *
 *   #define HAVE_COMPLEX_NUMBERS 1
 *   #define HAVE_COMPLEX_TRIG 0
 *
 *   In windows, both are 0.
 *
 *   Some systems (FreeBSD) have complex.h, but some random subset of the trig funcs, so
 *   HAVE_COMPLEX_NUMBERS means we can find
 *      cimag creal cabs csqrt carg conj
 *   and HAVE_COMPLEX_TRIG means we have
 *      cacos cacosh casin casinh catan catanh ccos ccosh cexp clog cpow csin csinh ctan ctanh
 *
 * When HAVE_COMPLEX_NUMBERS is 0, the complex functions are stubs that simply return their
 *   argument -- this will be very confusing for the s7 user because, for example, (sqrt -2)
 *   will return something bogus (it will not signal an error).
 *
 * so the incoming (non-s7-specific) compile-time switches are
 *     HAVE_COMPLEX_NUMBERS, HAVE_COMPLEX_TRIG, SIZEOF_VOID_P
 * if SIZEOF_VOID_P is not defined, we look for __SIZEOF_POINTER__ instead
 *   the default is to assume that we're running on a 64-bit machine.
 *
 * To get multiprecision arithmetic, set WITH_GMP to 1.
 *   You'll also need libgmp, libmpfr, and libmpc (version 0.8.0 or later)
 *   In highly numerical contexts, the gmp version of s7 is about 50(!) times slower than the non-gmp version.
 *
 * and we use these predefined macros: __cplusplus, _MSC_VER, __GNUC__, __clang__, __ANDROID__
 *
 * if WITH_SYSTEM_EXTRAS is 1 (default is 1 unless _MSC_VER), various OS and file related functions are included.
 * in openBSD I think you need to include -ftrampolines in CFLAGS.
 * if you want this file to compile into a stand-alone interpreter, define WITH_MAIN
 *
 * -O3 is sometimes slower, sometimes faster
 * -march=native -fomit-frame-pointer -m64 -funroll-loops gains about .1%
 * -ffast-math makes a mess of NaNs, and does not appear to be faster
 * for timing tests, I use: -O2 -DINITIAL_HEAP_SIZE=1024000 -march=native -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops

/* the heap grows as needed, this is its initial size.
 * If the initial heap is small, s7 can run in about 2.5 Mbytes of memory. There are (many) cases where a bigger heap is faster.
 * The heap size must be a multiple of 32.  Each object takes about 50 bytes.
 *
 * repl runs in    4Mb (18v) (64bit) if heap is 8192
 *                11Mb (25v)         if 128k heap
 *  snd (no gui)  15Mb (151v)
 *  snd (motif)   12Mb (285v)
 *  snd (gtk)     32Mb (515v!)

 *   In s7test.scm, the maximum stack size is ca 440.  In snd-test.scm, it's ca 200.
 *   This number matters only because call/cc copies the stack, which requires filling
 *   the unused portion of the new stack, which requires memcpy of #<unspecified>'s.

   *   with less start-up memory.  Then eventually we'll add C libraries a la xg (gtk) as environments
   *   and every name in that library will come as an import once dlopen has picked up the library.
   *   So, hopefully, we can pre-declare as many names as we want from as many libraries as we want,
   *   without a bloated mess of a run-time image.  And new libraries are easy to accommodate --
   *   add the names to be auto-exported to this list with the name of the scheme file that cloads
   *   the library and exports the given name. So, we'll need a separate such file for each library?
   *
   * the environment variable could use the library base name in *: *libm* or *libgtk*
   *   (*libm* 'j0)
   * why not just predeclare these libraries?  The caller could import what he wants via require.
   * So the autoloader need only know which libraries, but this doesn't fit the current use of gtk in xg
   * In fact, we only need to see *libm* -> libm.so etc, but we still need the arg/return types of each function, etc
   * And libgtk is enormous -- seems too bad to tie-in everything via the FFI when we need less than 1% of it.
   * Perhaps each module as an environment within the main one: ((*libgtk* *gtkwidget*) 'gtk_widget_new)?
   * But that requires inside knowlege of the library, and changes without notice.
   *
   * Also we need to decide how to handle name collisions (by order of autoload lib setup)
   * And (lastly?) how to handle different library versions?
   *
   *
   * so autoload known libs here in s7 so we're indepentdent of snd
   *   (currently these are included in make-index.scm[line 575] -> snd-xref.c)
   * for each module, include an env in the lib env (*libgtk* 'gtkwidget.h) or whatever that has the names in that header
   * in autoload below, don't sort! -- just build a list of autoload tables and check each in order at autoload time (we want startup to be fast)
   * for versions, include wrapper macro at end of each c-define choice
   * in the xg case, there's no savings in delaying the defines

   *   (letrec ((hi ... (hi...))) will be confused about the second hi,
   *   or (call/cc (lambda (hi) (hi 1))) etc.
   * second, figuring out that we're quoted is not easy -- we have to march all the
   * way to the bottom of the stack looking for op_read_quote or op_read_vector
   *    #(((hi)) 2) or '(((hi)))
   * or op_read_list with args not equal (quote) or (macroexapand)
   *    '(hi 3) or (macroexpand (hi 3) or (quote (hi 3))
   * and those are only the problems I noticed!
   *
   * The hardest of these problems involve shadowing, so Rick asked for "define-expansion"
   *   which is like define-macro, but the programmer guarantees that the macro
   *   name will not be shadowed.
   *
   * to make expansion recognition fast here, define-expansion sets the T_EXPANSION
   *   bit in the symbol as well as the value:
   *   set_type(sc->code, T_EXPANSION | T_SYMBOL)
   * but this can lead to confusion because the expansion name is now globally identified as an expansion.
   *    (let () (define-expansion (ex1 a) `(+ ,a 1)) (display (ex1 3)))
   *    (define (ex1 b) (* b 2)) (display (ex1 3))
   * since this happens at the top level, the first line is evaluated, ex1 becomes an expansion.
   * but the reader has no idea about lets and whatnot, so in the second line, ex1 is still an expansion
   * to the reader, so ir sees (define (+ b 1) ...) -- error!  To support tail-calls, there's no
   * way in eval to see the let close, so we can't clear the expansion flag when the let is done.
   * But we don't want define-expansion to mimic define-constant (via T_IMMUTABLE) because programs
   * like lint need to cancel reader-cond (for example).  So, we allow an expansion to be redefined,
   * and check here that the expander symbol still refers to an expansion.
   *
   * but in (define (ex1 b) b), the reader doesn't know we're in a define call (or it would be
   *   a bother to notice), so to redefine an expansion, first (set! ex1 #f) or (define ex1 #f),
   *   then (define (ex1 b) b).
   *
   * This is a mess!  Maybe we should insist that expansions are always global.

 * mockery.scm needs documentation (and stuff.scm: doc cyclic-seq+stuff under circular lists)
 * cyclic-seq in stuff.scm, but current code is really clumsy 
 * gtk gl: I can't see how to switch gl in and out as in the motif version -- I guess I need both gl_area and drawing_area
 * the old mus-audio-* code needs to use play or something, especially bess* -- what about soundio
 * snd namespaces from <mark> etc mark: (inlet :type 'mark :name "" :home <channel> :sample 0 :sync #f) with name/sync/sample settable
 * doc c_object_rf stuff? or how cload ties things into rf/sig 
 * libutf8proc.scm doc/examples? cload gtk/sndlib
 * clm make-* sig should include the actual gen: oscil->(float? oscil? real?), also make->actual not #t in a circle 
 *   make-oscil -> '(oscil? real? real) 
 *   make-env -> '(env? sequence? real? real? real? real? integer? integer?) [seq here is actually pair? or float-vector?]
 *   need some semi-automated approach here
 *   also need rest of Snd signatures
 * ~N| or ~NA|S in format? also ~N* I guess, ambiguous?
 *
 * how to get at read-error cause in catch?  port-data=string, port-position=int, port_data_size=int last-open-paren (sc->current_line)
 *   port-data port-position, length=remaining (unread) chars, copy->string gets that data, so no need for new funcs
 *   also port-filename|line-number could use let syntax, then maybe add position|data etc -- mock let like *s7*
 *   gc troubles with the string wrapper. Another such case: iterator.  But how to handle default port as in (port-line-number)?
 *
 * append: 44522: what if method not first arg?  use 'values: check_values?
 *   (append "asd" ((*mock-string* 'mock-string) "hi")): error: append argument 1, "hi", is mock-string but should be a character
 *   s7 44522 -- method check is unfinished -- should look for append and make arglists, not length
 *   (append "asd" ((*mock-char* 'mock-char) #\g)): error: append argument 1, #\g, is mock-char but should be a sequence
 *   also arg num is incorrect -- always off by 1?
 *   append in string case uses string_append, not g_string_append!
