newLISP newS / Re: Embed C or ASM in newLISP
January 02, 2012, 08:46:13 AM
...although TCC is awesome and deserves all the credit and attention it gets, and more (as do Fabrice Ballard's other creations like FFmpeg, etc) one of the most important - but not immediately apparent - features of the "define-ext" module is that it has been written in a modular fashion to allow easy extension for arbitrary compilable languages (not just C and ASM). The "plugins" for ASM and C were just provided bundled-in (using imported functions from tinycc) as an example, and should provide easy templates for adapting to embed any language for which there is a dynamic lib compiler, or even to implement ASM or C using other libraries if you prefer... Also, it simplifies embedding (pre-compiled?) object code too, making it as easy as writing a (define...).
