|
<p>This part of the manual explains the general concepts that you need to
|
||
|
|
understand when interfacing to Guile from C. You will learn about how
|
||
|
|
the latent typing of Scheme is embedded into the static typing of C, how
|
||
|
|
the garbage collection of Guile is made available to C code, and how
|
||
|
|
continuations influence the control flow in a C program.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>This knowledge should make it straightforward to add new functions to
|
||
|
|
Guile that can be called from Scheme. Adding new data types is also
|
||
|
|
possible and is done by defining <em class="dfn">foreign objects</em>.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <a class="ref" href="Programming-Overview.html">An Overview of Guile Programming</a> section of this part contains general
|
||
|
|
musings and guidelines about programming with Guile. It explores
|
||
|
|
different ways to design a program around Guile, or how to embed Guile
|
||
|
|
into existing programs.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For a pedagogical yet detailed explanation of how the data representation of
|
||
|
|
Guile is implemented, See <a class="xref" href="Data-Representation.html">Data Representation</a>. You don’t need to know the
|
||
|
|
details given there to use Guile from C, but they are useful when you want to
|
||
|
|
modify Guile itself or when you are just curious about how it is all done.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For detailed reference information on the variables, functions
|
||
|
|
etc. that make up Guile’s application programming interface (API),
|
||
|
|
See <a class="xref" href="API-Reference.html">API Reference</a>.
