I'd posted a message in yesterday but it did not be posted; I think the message subject made a problem. So, I re-post it.

I'd heard the SRFI 64 and SRFI 78 but not been able to use it then. So, I'd tried with unit-test in guile-lib. unit-test is good but my concern was abnormal case, i.e., error or exception. unit-test supports assert-exception macro but I feel insufficient when unexpected exception occur. So, I was back to SRFI 64 and made it work on Guile. I think there are people googling for test suite like me. If Guile include SRFI 64 in bundle, it would be helpful to them. > If it's the first one, thank you very much. If it's the second, could > you send this email again to [email protected]?

I'm a newbie of scheme and begined at Guile but might expand to Chicken and/or Gambit. Portability of test suite might be important, I think. Test code using my implementation will work on Chicken and Gambit too. Of course, it will work on Kawa or MzScheme with the reference implementation. I think a porting for Guile 2.0 is finished. There is one functionality issue, a source code line numbering support, for Guile 1.8, Chicken and Gambit. > On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 2:45 AM, Sunjoong Lee <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hello, >> >> SRFI-64 - https://gitorious.org/srfi-64-guile/ >> SRFI-78 - https://gitorious.org/srfi-78-guile/ >> Thanks.
