|---|
| 5 | * chicken-3 |
|---|
| 6 | |
|---|
| 7 | Maintenance branch for release 3.4.0. This branch is only for fixing |
|---|
| 8 | critical bugs, main development takes place in trunk. |
|---|
| 9 | |
|---|
| 10 | * prerelease |
|---|
| 11 | |
|---|
| 12 | Before a release, the current trunk is merged into this branch. This |
|---|
| 13 | way, we can continue developing in trunk without delaying the next |
|---|
| 14 | release. Ivan Raikov maintains this branch, felix breaks things. |
|---|
| 15 | |
|---|
| 16 | * release |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | Holds the version that is currently the official release. Here also |
|---|
| 19 | Ivan Raikov, the CHICKEN release manager rules. |
|---|
| 20 | |
|---|
| 21 | * elf |
|---|
| 22 | |
|---|
| 23 | Development branch of elf, core developer. Not used that much. |
|---|
| 24 | |
|---|
| 25 | * lazy-gensyms |
|---|
| 26 | |
|---|
| 27 | "Lazy" gensym print-name creation, borrowing an idea used by Dybvig |
|---|
| 28 | in his Chez system. Print-name slots (#1) of symbols may be fixnums, |
|---|
| 29 | and the name is generated, when actually required (see |
|---|
| 30 | "##sys#symbol-name"). Seems to work, and gensym creation is |
|---|
| 31 | definitely faster, but the overall performance doesn't appear to be |
|---|
| 32 | improved (actually, it seems to be worse than without the change). |
|---|
| 33 | Created by felix. |
|---|
| 34 | |
|---|
| 35 | * scrutiny |
|---|
| 36 | |
|---|
| 37 | An experimental lightweight flow analysis for finding common type- |
|---|
| 38 | related bugs and simple argument-count mismatches to standard |
|---|
| 39 | library procedures. Created by felix. |
