Hi, In `boot-9.scm', `try-module-autoload' should be using `load-module', and not `primitive-load', when loading a non-compiled module. The reasons are (i) non-autoloaded modules are loaded using `load-module' and (ii) `load-module' and `primitive-load' interact differently with the `current-reader' fluid.
`load-module' uses R4RS `load' which does some framing on the value of `current-reader', setting it to `#f' (meaning: use the built-in `read') if no optional reader argument was provided. OTOH, `primitive-load' doesn't change the value of `current-reader', thus resulting in a different behavior. Thanks, Ludovic. 2006-01-12 Ludovic Courtès <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): When loading a non-compiled file, use `load-module' instead of `primitive-load'. Doing so will result in the use of the build-in reader when loading the module, no matter what the current value of `current-reader' is. --- orig/ice-9/boot-9.scm +++ mod/ice-9/boot-9.scm @@ -2180,7 +2180,7 @@ (load-file load-compiled full))) ((%search-load-path file) => (lambda (full) - (load-file primitive-load full)))))) + (load-file load-module full)))))) (lambda () (set-autoloaded! dir-hint name didit))) didit)))) _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
