[Chicken-users] chicken-install from behind a proxy

Sounds like you have some unique ideas for strings though. I'll work on the string stuff soon. I won't write full lexers, but those functions should at least help a bit when parsing simple files. :-) I don't have Chicken 3 installed, so I can't compare performance. Anyway, I've uploaded it here if you'd like to give it a try: http://aleph0.info/fast-io.tar.gz J. ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

You may want to change the value of +max+ in benchmarks/run.scm to a smaller value and increase it gradually. BTW, I've benchmarked complex reading ad writing too. I suppose the difference is huge for reading complexes because the read procedure doesn't know that it's a complex number. One caveat: fast-io reads and writes exactly as printf/scanf do, so the external representation may not be the one used by your other Scheme programs!

Re: [Chicken-users] Documentation problem (eggs tutorial and Extensions section from the manual)

Feel free to add it. OK, I added instructions on how to create modules exporting syntax (for lack of a nicer example I used a prog1 macro plus a silly procedure). I also changed the basic hello.scm example to REQUIRE-LIBRARY instead of REQUIRE-EXTENSION. I don't know if my explanation is OK; it would be nice if someone could review it.

These are for reading and writing values from/to large files. I'll include the benchmarking code with the egg, as well as tests. Would you like an SVN account, so you can check in your code and manage it? If so, just send me a private message indicating a username and a hash of your password, which can be generated with: $ openssl passwd -apr1 I'd suggest naming the egg in a way it doesn't sound as general as faster I/O primitives. Maybe it's just me, but when I read fast-io, I instinctively think that Chicken's I/O primitives are slow and by using fast-io I'll get faster I/O for any case. Again, it's only a suggestion, maybe it's just me. Best wishes. Mario ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
