I think this is probably more along the lines of what he wants, but is the above going to work correctly if there are multiple lines of Scheme code? For example: [This is an example ] (do-something (foo) (bar)) (let ((baz bax)) (do-something-else baz) (more-stuff baz) (and-even-more baz)) [ ...with several lines of embedded Scheme code. ] If I'm guesssing correctly about how scm_set_source_property_x works (I haven't used it), then it seems like it might be a lot of work to turn the above lines of Scheme code into a properly filename, line (and column?) annotated set of forms. If so, then I wondered if it might be possible to just implement the function mentioned originally i.e. ag_scm_c_eval_string_from_file_line, and here's what I came up with. Note that I have no idea if this will actually work; I haven't tested it, and I don't know the semantics of the port related filename, line, and column bits offhand. (define (eval-port port) ;; See strports.c inner_eval_string for similar code. (let loop ((next-form (read port)) (any-read? #f) (result #f)) (if (eof-object? next-form) (if any-read? result) (loop (read port) #t (primitive-eval next-form))))) (define (eval-string-from-file str filename line column) (call-with-input-string str (lambda (port) (set-port-filename! port filename) (set-port-line! port line) (set-port-column! port column) (eval-port port)))) -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org and @debian.org; previously @cs.utexas.edu GPG starting 2002-11-03 = 14DD 432F AE39 534D B592 F9A0 25C8 D377 8C7E 73A4 _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
