[Larceny-users] Ikarus Benchmarks

[Tom Gordon]

I see that Ikarus 0.0.1 was added to the systems benchmarked, as  
reported on:

http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/will/Twobit/benchmarksFakeR6Linux.html

Great!

There is a note on this page stating:  "Note that Ikarus ... was  
unable to run almost half of these benchmarks."

All of the benchmarks seem to run just fine in the latest version of  
Ikarus, available here:

https://launchpad.net/ikarus/+milestone/0.0.2

Did you try the R6RS versions of the benchmarks included in this  
distribution?

Sorry to make an issue out of Ikarus on the Larceny mailing list.   
I've been using both, to play around with and learn R6RS Scheme.    
I've been porting the mzscheme verisons of the Shootout benchmarks on  
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/ to R6RS, both to learn more about  
the differences between mzscheme and R6RS Scheme and to get a feel  
for the coverage of R6RS.   For the benchmarks I've tried so far, it  
has been possible to code them entierly in R6RS Scheme, which seems  
encouraging.
