---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Shu-Hung You <shh...@u.northwestern.edu> Date: Sat, Sep 3, 2022 at 1:03 PM Subject: Re: [racket-users] Writing a "command-line front-end" for a language To: Reuben Thomas <r...@sc3d.org>
Running `racket foo.asm` will produce the desired output, so a shell script that directly passes the arguments to Racket could work. Otherwise, just use (dynamic-require filename #f) in main.rkt. At the technical level, foo.asm is in fact an ordinary Racket module, just like any other .rkt file. Therefore it can be run in the same way using APIs that require and instantiate modules. ----------- On a side note, the forum has mostly moved to Discourse (https://racket.discourse.group/).
