Subject: guile as extension language
Date: Sat, 06 Apr 2002 15:33:58 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200204062333.g36NXwl21935@mr-ed.jpl.nasa.gov> (raw)
How is Guile intended to be used as an extension language?
Some extension languages like Perl can be fed commands from the main
application. I believe the Apache Perl module works this way.
Other extension languages can not be run this way and need to execute
in a separate process, typically communicating via a socket
connection. I believe the Apache Java servlet modules work this way.
I just read through the Guile 1.5.6 code and it seems that Guile
cannot be fed commands from a parent application like the first case
above. If you want to use Guile as an *extension* language you need
to run it in a separate process and talk via sockets. For example, if
I wanted to generate a Guile Apache module it seems I would need to do
it this way. Is this correct?
Matt
