Full continuations: FullCont captures frames/stack/env with deep copy.
VM trampoline via setjmp/longjmp. Multi-shot safe via deep_copy_env.
Portal (new c/portal.c): serialize env + continuation to JSON,
resume on another machine. portal-checkpoint! triggers mid-VM save.
83/83 C unit tests + 181/181 functional tests pass.
Real native machine code via mmap(PROT_EXEC). No exec(). No strings.
Raw x86_64 bytes: mov, add, sub, imul, cmp, je, jne, call, ret, jmp.
ack(3,4): 0.12ms JIT vs 1.5ms CPython vs 28ms interpreter
fib-rec(20): 0.16ms JIT vs 3.4ms CPython vs 40ms interpreter
Added cond support to JIT (cascaded comparisons → conditional jumps).
Fixed JIT cache: sentinel value prevents retry on unjittable functions.
System V AMD64 ABI: args in rdi/rsi/rdx, callee-saved r12-r15.
Tail calls use jmp (true TCO at machine code level).
691 lines of jit.c. 114 functional tests pass. All C tests pass.
tests/functional.lsp — single .lsp file, runs identically in Python and C.
Covers: arithmetic, comparison, booleans, pairs, lists, strings, characters,
vectors, hash tables, control flow, let/lambda/closures, do loops, define,
recursion, TCO (100k depth), quasiquote, macros, type predicates, call/cc,
error handling, mergesort, higher-order programs.
Fixed C call/cc: proper escape continuations via setjmp/longjmp.
make test-all runs: Python unit (571) + C unit (58) + shared functional (114).
Complete C port of the Scheme interpreter. Same .lsp files run in
both Python and C with identical output.
Architecture:
- NaN-boxed 64-bit values (zero-alloc numbers)
- Hash-map environments with parent chain + global shortcut
- Interned symbols
- TCO via explicit loop (eval) and TAIL_CALL/SELF_TAIL_CALL (VM)
- Bytecode compiler with all opcodes including superinstructions
- 58 unit + integration tests
Makefile targets:
make test-all run Python (571) + C (58) tests
make examples run examples in both, compare output
make friction benchmark same .lsp in Python vs C
make c-build build C interpreter
make c-test run C tests
make c-repl C REPL
