two bugs in reference implementation Derick Eddington 06 Nov 2009 23:26 UTC

I've found and fixed two bugs in the reference implementation currently
at http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-99/srfi-99.sls .

First one:

Ikarus Scheme version 0.0.4-rc1+ (revision 1865, build 2009-10-21)
Copyright (c) 2006-2009 Abdulaziz Ghuloum

> (load "srfi-99.sls")
> (import (srfi :99 records))
> (define-record-type point #T #T (x) (y))

     operator: #<procedure map>
     operands: (#<procedure> ((x) (y)) (#<syntax (x)> . #<syntax ((y))>))
>>

After fixing the above one by modifying syntax->list (see the below
patch), I found the second one:

Unhandled exception
 Condition components:
   1. &message: "invalid expression"
   2. &syntax:
       form: #<syntax #f>
       subform: #f
   3. &trace: #<syntax #<syntax #f>>

The bug with this one is doing datum->syntax on syntax objects.  I fixed
it by modifying frob (see the below patch).
