6 Embedding Scheme Modules via C

The --c-mods mode for mzc takes a set of Scheme modules and generates a C source file that can be used as part of program that embeds the PLT Scheme run-time system. See Embedding MzScheme into a Program in Inside: PLT Scheme C API for an explanation of embedding programs.

The generated source file embeds the specified modules, and it defines a declare_modules function that puts the module declarations into a namespace. Thus, using the output of mzc --c-mods, a program can embed PLT Scheme with a set of modules so that it does not need a "collects" directory to load modules at run time.
