Status of SRFI 114 sample implementation? Sudarshan S Chawathe 30 Oct 2015 14:22 UTC

Given the recent discussion of SRFI 114 being informally deprecated, I
thought I'd check on the status of the sample implementation.  Have
others been successfully using it?  Is it appropriate to continue
discussing it as part of the SRFI process?  I am getting some errors
(details below).

Details: I am getting some errors that complain of mismatched argument
counts for the procedures comparator-equal? and comparator-compare.  (In
case it matters, I'm using Chicken 4.9.0.1., and using chicken-install
to install comparators as a local extension.)  Based on a quick scan of
advanced.scm and basics.scm, it seems like the latter expects a
comparator as the first argument to these procedures (consistent with
the SRFI 114 description), which is not provided by their invocations in
advanced.scm.  But, that's based on a very quick look at things so
perhaps I'm missing something obvious and the problem is elsewhere (as
in my setup).

My original reason for looking into this implementation was that I was
trying to test the generators (SRFI 121) implementation and the version
I had seemed to depend on SRFI 114 comparators.  I have since
downloaded a fresh version of generators.tar.gz that does not have that
dependency, so that reason is no longer valid, but I am curious about
the comparators implementation nonetheless.
