Larceny Scheme implementation

Larceny is a simple and efficient implementation of the Scheme programming language.

This is an (unofficial) clone of Larceny's RCS+CVS+SVN history, (including an attempt to clean up the history of those repositories a little along the way).

larceny-oldimport's Issues

Consistent testing and more automation

Reported by: tov on Mon Feb 13 18:39:58 2006
Tests are highly fragmented. Let's rationalize them, so they're easier to run and so that the output is actually comprehensible. See RationalizingLarceny#Testing.

Doesn't build with MzScheme 3xx

Reported by: tov on Mon Feb 13 18:27:58 2006
We need to be able to build using the current version of PLT Scheme. Currently we have a few problems:

• MzScheme 3xx is case sensitive by default
• Support for bytestrings was added (which are distinct from strings, and probably synonymous with Larceny's bytevectors), along with a slew of changes to the way one converts from floats to bytes to strings and so on.

We can get it to build without complaining now, but then we have weird issues with floor and ceiling, e.g. (ceiling -1.5) yields -2. Probably other problems as well.

Doesn't build with Chez Scheme (et al)

Reported by: tov on Mon Feb 13 18:28:35 2006
This is supposed to work, but I don't think it does now.
