SRFI 64 porting help: syntax-case experts needed
Per Bothner 16 Oct 2005 18:25 UTC
I'm still asking for full-featured ports to other Scheme
implementations. Especially support for the 'source-form,
'source-file, and 'source-line properties since they depend
on heavy-duty and non-portable macrology!
Specially, the Kawa-specific code makes use of syntax-case
so it can extract the complete the source-form and get the
correct initial line number. For example look at the first
Kawa-only implementation of test-equal. This code *shouldn't*
be Kawa-specific, except for the use of syntax-case and an
implementation hook for extracting the line number. However,
I couldn't get this code to work under Guile, which suggests
I'm depending on artifacts of the Kawa implementation of
syntax-case. Can somebody figure out how to rewrite this
code so it's more portable?
