6 Aubrey Jaffer:
7 is the author of SCM, the Scheme interpreter upon which Guile is
8 based. Guile started from SCM version 4e1 in November -94 and is
9 still largely composed of the original SCM code.
10
11 George Carrette:
12 wrote files present in Siod version 2.3, released in December of 1989.
13 Siod was the starting point for SCM. The major innovations taken from
14 Siod are the evaluator's use of the C-stack and being able to garbage
15 collect off the C-stack

272 The file libguile/gc_os_dep.c is from the Boehm-Weiser conservative
273 collector. A lot of people have contributed to it, but probably not
274 all to the code in gc_os_dep.c:
275
276 The SPARC specific code was contributed by Mark Weiser
277 (weiser@parc.xerox.com). The Encore Multimax modifications were
278 supplied by Kevin Kenny (kenny@m.cs.uiuc.edu). The adaptation to
279 the RT is largely due to Vernon Lee (scorpion@rice.edu), on
280 machines made available by IBM. Much of the HP specific code and
281 a number of good suggestions for improving the generic code are
282 due to Walter Underwood (wunder@hp-ses.sde.hp.com). Robert
283 Brazile (brazile@diamond.bbn.com) originally supplied the ULTRIX
284 code. Al Dosser (dosser@src.dec.com) and Regis Cridlig
285 (Regis.Cridlig@cl.cam.ac.uk) subsequently provided updates and
286 information on variation between ULTRIX systems. Parag Patel
287 (parag@netcom.com) supplied the A/UX code. Jesper
288 Peterson(jep@mtiame.mtia.oz.au), Michel Schinz, and Martin
289 Tauchmann (martintauchmann@bigfoot.com) supplied the Amiga port.
290 Thomas Funke (thf@zelator.in-berlin.de(?)) and Brian D.Carlstrom
291 (bdc@clark.lcs.mit.edu) supplied the NeXT ports. Douglas Steel
292 (doug@wg.icl.co.uk) provided ICL DRS6000 code. Bill Janssen
293 (janssen@parc.xerox.com) supplied the SunOS dynamic loader
294 specific code. Manuel Serrano (serrano@cornas.inria.fr) supplied
295 linux and Sony News specific code. Al Dosser provided Alpha/OSF/1
296 code. He and Dave Detlefs(detlefs@src.dec.com) also provided
297 several generic bug fixes. Alistair G. Crooks(agc@uts.amdahl.com)
298 supplied the NetBSD and 386BSD ports. Jeffrey Hsu
299 (hsu@soda.berkeley.edu) provided the FreeBSD port. Brent Benson
300 (brent@jade.ssd.csd.harris.com) ported the collector to a Motorola
301 88K processor running CX/UX (Harris NightHawk). Ari Huttunen
302 (Ari.Huttunen@hut.fi) generalized the OS/2 port to nonIBM
303 development environments (a nontrivial task). Patrick Beard
304 (beard@cs.ucdavis.edu) provided the initial MacOS port. David
305 Chase, then at Olivetti Research, suggested several improvements.
306 Scott Schwartz (schwartz@groucho.cse.psu.edu) supplied some of the
307 code to save and print call stacks for leak detection on a SPARC.
308 Jesse Hull and John Ellis supplied the C++ interface code. Zhong
309 Shao performed much of the experimentation that led to the current
310 typed allocation facility. (His dynamic type inference code
311 hasn't made it into the released version of the collector, yet.)
312 (Blame for misinstallation of these modifications goes to the
313 first author, however.)
