Extending Snd with Eval-C and Snd-Rt

Extending Snd with Eval-C and Snd-Rt

[Kjetil S. Matheussen]

Hi,

This is my paper for the linux audio conference 2008:
http://www.notam02.no/~kjetism/sndrt_lac2008.pdf

Its a plain presentation of eval-c, snd-rt, san dysth and snd/pd,
plus a discussion about soft realtime in guile.

Very interesting!  Can we include it in the Snd tarball?  

I wonder what the history of Guile was -- I had not associated
it with Jaffer, but with Tom Lord.   I'll have to look again at
rscheme, if it would be a better choice.

Maybe, but Guile has all this nice features, like backtrace,
procedure-source, procedure->macro and the-environment, which
RScheme might not have, so it would be more convenient to make
Guile work with HBGC in incremental mode instead. RScheme
is a lot faster though.

Great paper, lucid and interesting! Eval-c looks like a quite nice
language to have available for crunching numbers. And Guile's GC
situation needs some improvement.

Thank you very much! Eval-c should be (better) documented though,
but theres quite a bit of example code in the snd source.

Yes, but I think the HBGC patch was a big step in
the right direction.
