[Openmcl-devel] Running ccl as a shebang script

[Tim Bradshaw]

What I do is something like this:

#!/bin/sh -

exec ccl -Q -b <<EOF
(print "hi")
EOF

Which I think is perhaps not as robust, but works (note this depends on my ccl wrapper but that's mostly just a thing to avoid having to know what obscure path the executable is sitting in & to support recompiling &c).

It turns out that it’s possible to do it, but it requires some horrible hackery: you have to define a reader macro that treats #! as a comment delimiter, and you have to put that in your ccl-init file.  That seemed too ugly to me, so I wrote a little C program that reads past the first line of the script and pipes the rest into ccl’s stdin.  That seemed like a cleaner solution.  Just in case anyone else cared about this I thought I’d share the code:
