Are there any introduction materials of the BOOT file format?

Open lhtin opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Hi all,

I'm a new hand in the Chez Scheme compiler system. But I need to understand the BOOT file format because of my work. Therefore, I would like to ask if there is any existing information about the system that can help me understand.

Thank you so much.

Here is a very useful document about the implementation details of the Chez Scheme. It can help me understanding the compiler. Thanks so much to the authors.

You can read the code and comments in c/fasl.c, esp. the function faslin(), which parses fasl files and allocates objects accordingly.

Closing now that "IMPLEMENTATION.md" is merged, although there's plenty of room for improvement.
