A Guide to Implementing Scheme in C.
Scheme 9 from Empty Space reproduces the completely self-contained and
heavily commented C and Scheme source code to an interpreter for a broad
subset of the Scheme programming language. By means of extensive annotations,
examples, and numerous figures, it answers a lot of questions about
crafting an interpreter, including:
How does automatic memory management work?
How is macro expansion implemented?
How do lexical scoping and dynamic scoping work?
How is arbitrary precision arithmetics implemented?
How does tail call elimination work?
How are Scheme procedures called from C?
