25. Bigloo
A practical Scheme compiler (4.3g)
User manual for version 4.3g
December 2019 -- Parameters
The Bigloo parameters drive the global behavior programs. A parameter is accessed via a pair of functions: a reader and a setter. The type of the value is given, in this documentation, by the name of the parameter of the setter.

bigloo-strict-r5rs-stringsbigloo function
bigloo-strict-r5rs-strings-set! booleanbigloo function
Traditional syntax conforms to the Revised Report if the parameter bigloo-strict-r5rs-strings is not #f. Otherwise constant strings specified by the "([^"]|\")*" are considered as foreign strings.


For example, after reading the expression "1\n23\t4\"5", the following string is built, which is equal to (string #\1 #\n #\2 #\3 #\t #\4 #\" #\5) if (bigloo-strict-r5rs-strings) is not #f. It is (string #\1 #\n #\2 #\3 #\tab #\4 #\" #\5) otherwise.

Printing this string will produce: 1n23t4"5.

The new foreign syntax allows C escape sequences to be recognized. For example, the expression #"1\n23\t4\"5" builds a string equal to:

(string #\1 #\newline #\2 #\3 #\t #\4 #\" #\5)

and printing this string will then produce:
1
23    4"5

bigloo-compiler-debugbigloo function
bigloo-compiler-debug-set! integerbigloo function
bigloo-debugbigloo function
bigloo-debug-set! integerbigloo function
bigloo-warningbigloo function
bigloo-warning-set! integerbigloo function
These parameters control the debugging and warning level. The bigloo-compiler-debug is automatically controlled by the compiler command line -g option (see Command Line Parsing).

When a program is compiled in debug mode lvl, the compiler introduces a call to (bigloo-debug-set! lvl) before the evaluation of the first expression.

The bigloo-debug parameter is used to control traces (see Tracing).

bigloo-tracebigloo function
bigloo-trace-set! listbigloo function
Specifies the active trace (see with-trace form). The argument list is the list of symbols which are active and which triggers the display of a with-trace form.

bigloo-trace-colorbigloo function
bigloo-trace-color-set! boolbigloo function
Enables/disables traces coloring (see Tracing).

bigloo-trace-stack-depthbigloo function
bigloo-trace-stack-depth-set! integerbigloo function
Controls the depth of the stack trace to be displayed on errors. With systems that supports shell variables (such as Unix) this parameter is dynamically adjusted according to the value of the SHELL variable BIGLOOSTACKDEPTH.

bigloo-eval-strict-modulebigloo function
bigloo-eval-strict-module-set! boolbigloo function
When set to #t enables eval optimization that inlines operators calls. This optimization reduces the memory footprint of an application and it reduces the execution time.

bigloo-dns-enable-cachebigloo function
bigloo-dns-enable-cache-set! boolbigloo function
Enable/disable DNS name caching.

bigloo-dns-cache-validity-timeoutbigloo function
bigloo-dns-cache-validity-timeout-set! integerbigloo function
Get/set the validity period for the DNS cache entries. It is expressed in seconds.
