Command Line Behavior
The commandline is processed in the following manner.
First, the entire command line is processed, noting the settings of each switch and accumulating all
Scheme source files and arguments after the end of options sequence.
Second, the heap file is loaded.
Third, each Scheme source file is loaded in the order they occured on the command line. Errors are noted.
Fourth, if present, the expression in an --eval switch is evaluated. Errors are noted.
Fifth, if present, named function in a --call-with-args switch is applied to the arguments after the end
of options sequence. Its return value is noted.
Sixth, --no-repl was not specified, the REPL is invoked.
Finally, if the REPL was run if its return value is an integer, that integer is returned as SISC's
overall return code. If the REPL was not run, and any return code supporting step above was run, the most
recent return code is returned. If no return code step was performed, but a success/failure step was
performed, 1 is returned if any failures occured, 0 otherwise.
Description
SISC, the Second Interpreter of Scheme Code, is an extensible Java based interpreter of the Scheme
language as described in the Revised^5ReportontheAlgorithmicLanguageScheme and adds numerous
extensions including Java integration.
Executable Scripts
SISC supports all the required SRFI‐22 bootstraps, consult the body of SRFI‐22 for more information about
using it to write executable Scheme programs.
