[Chicken-users] [TFPIE2014] final call for participation
[FINAL CALL FOR PARTICIPATION] 3rd International Workshop on Trends in Functional Programming in Education (TFPIE 2014) May 25, 2014 Utrecht University Soesterberg, The Netherlands (http://www.cs.uwyo.edu/~jlc/tfpie14/) The 3rd International Workshop on Trends in Functional Programming in Education, TFPIE 2014, will be co-located with the Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP 2014) at Soesterberg, at the “Kontakt der Kontinenten” hotel in the Netherlands on Sunday, May 25th. TFP will follow from May 26-28. The goal of TFPIE is to gather researchers, teachers and professionals that use, or are interested in the use of, functional programming in education. TFPIE aims to be a venue where novel ideas, classroom-tested ideas and work-in-progress on the use of functional programming in education are discussed. The one-day workshop will foster a spirit of open discussion by having a review process for publication after the workshop. The program chair of TFPIE 2014 will screen submissions to ensure that all presentations are within scope and are of interest to participants. Potential presenters are invited to submit an extended abstract (4-6 pages) or a draft paper (up to 16 pages) in EPTCS style. The authors of accepted presentations will have their preprints and their slides made available on the workshop's website/wiki. Visitors to the TFPIE 2014 website/wiki will be able to add comments. This includes presenters who may respond to comments and questions as well as provide pointers to improvements and follow-up work. After the workshop, presenters will be invited to submit (a revised version of) their article for review. The PC will select the best articles for publication in the journal Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS). Articles not selected for presentation and extended abstracts will not be formally reviewed by the PC. TFPIE workshops have previously been held in St Andrews, Scotland (2012) and in Provo Utah, USA (2013). ** Invited Speaker ** TFPIE is pleased to announce that professor Johan Jeuring of Utrecht University and Open University, both in The Netherlands is giving an invited talk entitled: Automatic tutoring and assessing functional programs. ** Program Committee ** James Caldwell, (Program Chair) University of Wyoming Peter Achten, Radboud University, Nijmgen Edwin Brady, University of St Andrews, St Andrews Jurriaan Hage, Universiteit Utrecht Philip Holzenspies, University of Twente Daniel R. Licata, Wesleyan University Marco T Morazan, Seton Hall University Christian Skalka, University of Vermont David Van Horn, Northeastern University ** Program ** The preliminary program of TFPIE 2014 is available at the home site of TFPIE 2014 and the TFPIE wiki (http://wiki.science.ru.nl/tfpie/Main_Page). This year's edition features 14 talks. The program is closed with a plenary discussion. ** Important Dates ** * 1 February 2014: TFPIE submissions open on easychair. * 14 April 2014: Early registration for TFP closes * 21 April 2014: Submission deadline for draft TFPIE papers and abstracts * 27 April 2014: Notification of acceptance for presentation * 15 May 2014: Registration for TFPIE closes - as does late registration for TFP * 25 May 2014: Presentations in Soesterberg, Netherlands * 29 June 2014: Full papers for EPTCS proceedings due * 16 August 2014: Notification of acceptance for proceedings * 8 September 2014: Camera ready copy due for EPTCS Submission of an abstract implies no obligation to submit a full paper; abstracts with no corresponding full versions by the full paper deadline will be considered as withdrawn. At least one author from each accepted presentation must attend the workshop. ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
[Chicken-users] Implementing a C-API to a chicken library
Hello! I am currently trying to see if Chicken is a viable option for what I am trying to do where I work. Basically I want to define a C API (because that's easy to call from all languages) that will be used on many platforms (ios, android, winrt, windows, osx etc). So what I did was that I created a simple test with the following source code: https://gist.github.com/BitPuffin/f8ad6fa6f43327a84611 (swap - for / because github gists don't allow / in filenames) This also shows me running it, and as you can see I am getting a segmentation fault that I don't really understand. I also checked the static library if all the symbols where there (and they are) and also ran it through a debugger: https://gist.github.com/BitPuffin/6093a5382a4cf357817b and https://gist.github.com/BitPuffin/39288172adc487609acd respectively. Note that I am not looking to embed it as a scripting language and do CHICKEN_run, rather, I'm trying to define the interface as something callable from C, but so far I am having no success. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks! :) Isak Andersson ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

However, CHICKEN's runtime system needs to be initialized and the top-level Scheme code needs to be run before you can call back into scheme.

This will ensure that the runtime system is initialized *and* all top-level Scheme code that may do further initialization work has been executed once. * Add (return-to-host) to the end of src/itest.scm. This will ensure that the call to CHICKEN_run actually returns after all initialization work has been completed. Then your code should work as expected :-) Ciao, Thomas -- When C++ is your hammer, every problem looks like your thumb. ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
Re: [Chicken-users] Implementing a C-API to a chicken library
Well I couldn't modify mine to work, but Thomas sent me an example in irc on how he got it working (https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6bd6236d741a48d03f5f). I suppose the difference is that he used csc for everything and therefore probably some important flags that I didn't use were added or something like that. Thought I'd put it here on the mailing list for someone searching the archives for a solution to this problem. Thanks Thomas! :) On Fri, May 9, 2014 at 5:45 PM, Thomas Chust ch...@web.de wrote: On Fri, 2014-05-09 at 16:56 +0200, Isak Andersson wrote: [...] Basically I want to define a C API (because that's easy to call from all languages) that will be used on many platforms (ios, android, winrt, windows, osx etc).
