It's a scheme compiler. It compiles from scheme to C, given a few restrictions. It does some *very* sophisticated analysis and can often remove *all* gc calls in a given region of code, allocating on the stack instead. It also does global type analysis will map your scheme types onto native C types in regions where it can satisfy itself that it's safe. etc... I have heard that in some tests on numeric code, it actually beat a fortran compiler, but I haven't seen that for myself... http://www.neci.nj.nec.com/homepages/qobi/ > Is GNU cash the safe electronic money transfer program using the > free ssh/PGP replacement Stallman is permanently talking about? Hmm, don't know what Stallman's talking about, but GnuCash is a "Quicken-like" program. People have planned to add electronic money transfers and all that mess, but there are a bunch of more urgent things that have to be finished first... -- Rob Browning <rlb@cs.utexas.edu> PGP=E80E0D04F521A094 532B97F5D64E3930
