🛫Pilot Scheme

Pilot Scheme is a project that seeks to merge the brilliant but cumbersome Racket (formerly PLT Scheme) and the wicked- fast femtolisp -- and wrap it all into a highly portable, single-header C library!

This project is still heavily under development!

Solve all of software development's big problems.

Getting Started

Embedding 🛫Pilot Scheme

Simply include the header pilot.h into your project, where ever you like to keep your headers. Here's an example of how to use Pilot Scheme:

Presently only the streaming lexer has been implemented, this example illustrates its use.

#include "pilot.h"

// ...

// Allocate a memory pool of 1024B.
size_t memory_pool_size = 1024;
char*  memory_pool = malloc(memory_pool_size);
memset(memory_pool, 0, memory_pool_size);

// Initialize Pilot Scheme with the allocated memory pool.
plt_init(memory_pool, memory_pool_size);

// Zero initialize lexer.
plt_lexer lexer = { 0 };

plt_token t;
do {
    // Grab the next token from the source code.
    t = plt_next_token(
        &lexer,
        source, // Some previously defined const char* to Pilot Scheme source.
        strlen(source)
    )

    // Prints out the text value of the identified token.
    printf("%s\n", t.text);
} while(t.type != INVALID);

free(memory_pool);

Testing 🛫Pilot Scheme

To test Pilot Scheme, run the appropriate test.* script for your platform in the ./scripts/ directory. This will build the tests and produce an executable in a ./bin/ directory. Running the executable will run all the prepared tests for Pilot Scheme.
