An interpreter implementation library. The goal is to make it easy to create your own interpreter for your chosen language (even a new one from scratch).

Additionally, Stackless aims to provide the following benefits:

• Stackless interpreter: A non-recursive interpreter, similar to Python Stackless. Frames are used instead of recursive a recursive eval loop.

• Microthreading: Ability to interrupt and switch execution contexts. Does not replace proper threading, but allows event-driven design.

• Process management: Scheduling of microthreads, wait states, priorities, microthread memory separation.

• Multiple languages: Stackless is designed to allow multiple different language interpreters to run per execution loop if desired.

Version: 0.50 Updates for Elisp

Implemented:

• Numerous updates to support Elisp (formerly known as PocoLithp), mostly in the microthreading department.

Version: 0.45 Working (Unoptimized) Stackless Scheme Interpreter

Implemented:

• Completely working stackless Scheme interpreter

• Speed is slow at the moment

• All 29 test cases pass

TODO:

• Move basic logic to Stackless templates

• Tail-call optimizations

• Frame use optimization

Version: 0.35 Work-in-progress Stackless Scheme Interpreter

Implemented:

• Basic interpreter. Some arguments are not getting resolved correctly.

• Of 29 test cases, 10 failures occur. Good progress.

Version: 0.20 Cleanup release

Implemented:

• Microthreading processes

• Basic process management

• Cleaned up types

• Added shared pointer usage

Version: 0.10 First release

Implemented:

• Stackless interpreter for Brainfuck

• Microthreading for Brainfuck
