A small lisp interpreter library and wrapper written in C. The documentation is in doc/liblisp.md, this contains information on how to build and run the interpreter. The project runs (and has been tested under) Linux and Windows.

This project should probably be rewritten when I get around to it, as the current project:

• Does not have Macros
• Does not have Closures (and it would be difficult to add them)
• Is not particularly memory efficient, and could be made to be more so (and portably) by using indexing instead of pointers.
• Is not image based, so saving and restoring state is not possible, again using indexing instead of pointers would help.

There are a few interesting things in this project but I would do it differently if I got the chance to, both my understanding of lisp has improved and my C. I would probably use a more liberal license as well.

The rewrite will be my forth attempt, if I get around to it...

To test this application out:

make run

This should build under Linux, or using MinGW under Windows .

or

make modules run

(which is more likely to fail as it requires installed dependencies).
