28.2 JVM back-end and SRFI-0

The currently running back-end may be tested by the means of the SRFI-0 cond-expand form (see section SRFIs). That is, when the JVM is ran, the bigloo-jvm clause is true. Otherwise, the bigloo-c is true. Example:

$ cat > foo.scm
(module foo (main main))
(define (main argv)
   (cond-expand
      (bigloo-jvm (print "JVM back-end"))
      (bigloo-c (print "C back-end"))
      (else (error "main" "unsupported back-end" #unspecified))))
$ bigloo -jvm foo.scm
$ a.out
  -| JVM back-end
$ bigloo foo.scm
$ a.out
  -| C back-end
