Srfi-43 bug Will M. Farr 12 Apr 2005 16:19 UTC

Hello all,

I think there is a bug in vector-map in the reference implementation of
srfi-43 posted at schemers.org.  The reference implementation has:

(define (vector-map f vec . vectors)
   (let ((f   (check-type procedure? f   vector-map))
         (vec (check-type vector?    vec vector-map)))
     (if (null? vectors)
         (let ((len (vector-length vec)))
           (%vector-map1! f (make-vector len) vec len))
         (let ((len (%smallest-length vectors
                                      (vector-length vec)
                                      vector-map)))
           (%vector-map2+! f (make-vector len) vectors len)))))

but shouldn't it be

(define (vector-map f vec . vectors)
   (let ((f   (check-type procedure? f   vector-map))
         (vec (check-type vector?    vec vector-map)))
     (if (null? vectors)
         (let ((len (vector-length vec)))
           (%vector-map1! f (make-vector len) vec len))
         (let ((len (%smallest-length vectors
                                      (vector-length vec)
                                      vector-map)))
           (%vector-map2+! f (make-vector len) (cons vec vectors)
len)))))

When I run the reference implementation, it doesn't pass the first
vector of multiple vectors into the function I'm mapping over the
vectors.  This fix works for me; let me know if I've missed something.
