3 part cell miniPicoLisp

[C K Kashyap]

Hi All,
I had been exploring the miniPicoLisp source for several months now. My
goal was to make it compile with Microsoft C compiler and Tiny C Compiler (
TCC ) on windows - and
gain a deeper understanding of the implementation in the process. In order
to compile using Microsoft C compiler, it was sufficient to remove the use
of VLA(variable length array). However, making it work with TCC was a
different ballgame. It turns out that TCC does not generate functions at
word boundaries - so pointer tagging does not work. The way I addressed it
is by changing the CELL to contain 3 parts instead of 2 - the third part
for type and GC.

I just got "done" with it - https://github.com/lispware/minilisp . It has
limited string/symbol support since it only allows strings that can be
packed in a word. Bringing back full string support would be the first
thing. Or perhaps breaking the single C file up would be first - I found
collapsing all the miniPicoLisp C files into one easier during the change :)

My eventual goal is to get it hooked up with libuv - perhaps by next year :)

Happy New Year!
Kashyap
