Up-to-date information on porting Shen

[Joel McCracken]

Is there any up to date information on writing ports, especially written for S series kernels?

The information I have found is all very dated, which makes it hard to know what still applies and what doesn't.

For example, I recall reading that the S kernels handle TCO, or at least tail recursion, but I'm not certain of that, and am trying to find a source. Current status with upgrading the elisp port is some weird behavior in the code that's intended to handle TCO, and I think I can just delete all of that code, but I'm not sure.

I've looked through the mailing list a bit but haven't found anything that would help.

Thanks!

You still need to handle TCO, what you don't need to take care of anymore is partial function application and things like that. In general for the S series kernels you need worry about less stuff.

Can you link the code in question?
