The resaons for this are explained later. The cps procedure reads in the .scm file and outputs a .bin file. In this respect, cps is a replacement for sf . The next two steps are optional. The club files may be compiled for faster execution.
Compiled programs are harder to debug.
It is strongly recommended that you don't compile the programs until you have got most of the bugs out. Note that we use cbf to compile the .bin file, since cf would do the wrong thing by generating a new .bin file. The relationships between the compilation commands are illustrated in figure . The next stage is to construct a simulation object. A simulation object contains all the information required to run the simulation.
