Yeah split stacks will be a problem. Essentially `tgc` just scans between the address recorded as the "bottom" and the one recorded as the "top". Both of theses can be manually adj…

The registers are flushed to the stack before the mark is performed (using `setjmp`) so unless the behaviour of the platform is particularly odd in this case it shouldn't be an iss…

For anyone curious, I built a project in C called tgc ( https://github.com/orangeduck/tgc ) which has some similarities. It's essentially a stand alone version of the Cello Garbage…

I really like this idea, but bezier curves are quite computationally difficult to use. There are many representations of these kind of continuous shapes which are much easier for t…

Lua has an alternative to Regex which is an extension of the C patterns (used in printf etc). http://lua-users.org/wiki/PatternsTutorial At first I found it a bit confusion but the…

It uses raw pointers (void*) and something a little like a vtable: http://libcello.org/documentation/hacking

Author here. I always get asked two questions about libCello. 1. Why? 2. Is anyone using it for anything serious? The second one is easiest to answer: no. And most people are supri…

Thanks for the support, and congratuations to yourself on publishing. It looks like you've done a really great job and totally nailed the process and the print version! > How did i…

I've also recently self published my book http://www.buildyourownlisp.com/ via createspace, having first converted it to an ebook and then to a print book, so I was really interest…

I'm a big advocate of "worse is better" - in fact I put it in my bio even at the risk of scaring off potential colleagues or employers. The real meaning of "worse is better" is of …

I think this demonstraights a real weakness of Haskell. Several times I've started a new project only to spend several hours trying to work out the correct way to structure what I …

Macros in C can sometimes be nasty, but "min" is a pathological case for a macro because it isn't what macros were meant for. In reality "min" should just be a function, and you sh…

So I get it, and it makes a good point, but this could be more of a symptom than a disease. When I first started programming C I also tended to just exit the program on getting a b…

Anyone who likes this idea but wants to do it in C might enjoy this http://www.buildyourownlisp.com/

Hi crnxion. The source can be found here: https://github.com/orangeduck/BuildYourOwnLisp I welcome corrections/edits.

Thanks. I've fixed the link.

Author here. A parser combinator library is used to do the parsing.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll open this option up if possible.
