Chibi implementation

There are two implementations of this SRFI, Scsh version 0.7, which can be found at GitHub in the scsh repository of scheme, and a Chibi Scheme (srfi 170) library. You can find the Chibi Scheme example implementation, and build notes for scsh, in their own srfi subdirectories.

This file documents the current exceptions and deviations of the Chibi Scheme implementation.

Note generally that the Chibi implementation is completely thread-naive.

3.1  Error handling

• The implementation gets and sets errno at the Scheme level, and arbitrary code that might change errno can run between the time a system or library call sets its value due to an error and Scheme code gets the current value.

3.2  I/O

• The open-file and fd->port procedures do not support either the buffer-mode argument or the binary-input/output value of the port-type argument.

3.3  File system

• The implementation of call-with-temporary-filename is neither finished or exported.
