Hello everybody!
I am trying to code an apache2.0 module that uses guile for scripting
dynamic html pages. My problem is that i have to enclose the main loop
of the application in the scm_boot function for the gc to work according
to the manuals.
When writing an apache module I do not have control over the main loop,
the http server just calls the handler method. Is there a way to
overcome this problem? Has anyone tried something similar (mod_guile
perhaps?)
Any info will be appreciated!
regards,
George Moschovitis

What version of Guile do you intent to use? Recent version do not
need to wrap the application's 'main()' function (using other means
to detect the bottom of the stack) -- have a look at the documentation
for scm_init_guile() vs. scm_boot_guile().

Well, with Apache2 you might encounter other, more severe, problems as
well. Apache2 might run in multithreaded manner and hence there's a
high chance for several modules to execute in parallel. AFAIK guile
is'nt meant to be run in parallel (only one thread can use guile).

Hope that helps. BTW, are your trying to write an Apache2 mod_guile?

It's worth to look on guile-fcgi.

While putting things into separate processes has definitely
its advantages, it still strikes me that Guile kicks and
bites so much when one tries to embed it into an application
(since it was born with embedding as an explicit goal).
Hmmm.
Sorry for rambling

You might consider using Kawa for scripting dynamic html web pages in
Scheme. Kawa supports compiling a Scheme program to a "servlet" which
can run quite efficiently in a "servlet engine" such as Tomcat. And
of course servlets are designed to be run using multiple threads.
This article show how simple it can be:
http://www.gnu.org/software/qexo/simple-xquery-webapp.html
The article uses the XQuery language, but using Scheme should
also work in the same way (though I haven't tried writing a
Scheme version of the example). (To avoid mis-understandings:
Kawa is now a multi-language framework, providing implementations
of Scheme, Emacs Lisp, XQuery, and other languages.)
You might also consider BRL: http://brl.sourceforge.net/
