Hi folks! I'm hacking guile-lua-rebirth these days. It's expected to release a workable version this year. Besides, I can use Artanis from guile-lua-rebirth smoothly. So we may never call Artanis a Scheme framework then. ;-)
Well, here's my problem. When we call a function in Lua and it's needed to be compiled, there'll be warning message start with ";;;" which is the comment syntax of Scheme. But it seems our Lua compiler doesn't like it: =======================================log========================================= ;;; note: source file ./language/lua/stdlib/io.scm ;;; newer than compiled /home/nalaginrut/.cache/guile/ccache/2.2-LE-8-3.7/home/nalaginrut/Project/guile-lua-rebirth/language/lua/stdlib/io.scm.go ;;; note: auto-compilation is enabled, set GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0 ;;; or pass the --no-auto-compile argument to disable. ;;; compiling ./language/lua/stdlib/io.scm ;;; WARNING: compilation of ./language/lua/stdlib/io.scm failed: ;;; ERROR: Syntax error: ;;; ./language/lua/stdlib/io.scm:1:1: Syntax error: unexpected token : in form semi-colon =======================================end========================================== This problem won't cause any error, and Lua works fine. It's just ugly and scare someone. So my suggestion is that we add a helper function to customize the warning message prefix string to make sure it's compatible for the specific language frontend. This feature is useful for our multi-lang plan in the future. Say, for Lua, like this: (set-warning-prefix! "---") ==============================start==================== --- note: source file ./language/lua/stdlib/io.scm --- newer than compiled /home/nalaginrut/.cache/guile/ccache/2.2-LE-8-3.7/home/nalaginrut/Project/guile-lua-rebirth/language/lua/stdlib/io.scm.go --- note: auto-compilation is enabled, set GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0 --- or pass the --no-auto-compile argument to disable. --- compiling ./language/lua/stdlib/io.scm ===============================end===================== What do you think?
