Rewrite of core evaluation system to use compiler-based VM (Dybvig) #22

Closed CinchBlue closed 6 years ago

CinchBlue commented 7 years ago

We are currently making our way towards this within the current semester at UH Manoa (Fall 2017). We are basing our VM on the heap-based implementation as described in "Three Implementation Models for Scheme" by R. Kent Dybvig.

29 is implementing this change based on "Three Implementation Models for Scheme" [1]. The heap-based virtual machine is our chosen model, implemented in the class HeapVirtualMachine.

As we finished implementing the HeapVirtualMachine last semester, and have already been utilizing it as the core evaluation mechanism for the interpreter, I am marking this issue as closed.
