Screaming-Fist: a JIT framework for Guile

[Nala Ginrut <nalaginrut@gmail.com>]

Hi Folks!
I'd like to introduce our new project named screaming-fist which is a JIT
framework based on libgccjit.

The project is still preliminary, but the POC could run.

The basic idea is to hide the JIT details and let users write Scheme-like
code for JIT on the fly.

here's the simple code:
--------------------------------
(import (screaming-fist jit))

(jit-define (square x)
  (:anno: (int) -> int)
  (* x x))
(square 5)

;; ==> 25
----------------------------------

And you can dump IR, say, gimple:
----------------------------------------------

(import (screaming-fist utils) (screaming-fist jit))
(parameterize ((dump-mode "gimple"))
 (jit-define (square x)
  (:anno: (int) -> int)
  (* x x)))

-------------------------------


The possible output could be:

------------------------------

int square (int x){
  int D.79;

  <D.76>:
  D.79 = x * x;
  return D.79;}

--------------------------------------------

The branching and looping codegen is still under debugging.

Here's the project page:

Happy hacking!
