[Chicken-users] parley improvements

[Christian Kellermann]

Hello Chicken users!

This is a public service announcement for the parley egg:

I will commence working on long outstanding bugs inthe parley module.
To make things nice for everyone I would appreciate it if you could
send me reports of odd behaviour and other wishlist items you have
encountered when working with parley. I will first collect them and
work them off in the usual robot fashion.

Yours truly,

Christian

Re: [Chicken-users] Strange problems with args egg

[Jim Ursetto]

No problem. The fix is now in args 1.4.4.

 Did you try my patch?  You don't have to rewrite anything, it's a bug in
 the args egg.

 Thank you for the help! This is definitely a very interesting language to

 Here is the smallest amount of args-using Chicken that will cause the
 problem:
 
 (define-syntax test
  (syntax-rules ()
((test)
 (begin
   (define opts (list (args:make-option (h help) #:none display
   this text (print foo
   (write (args:parse (command-line-arguments) opts))
 [...]
 
 The strange thing is that h and help seem to have turned into (h390
 help391), causing problems.
 This is not a Chicken-specific problem, but a general problem
 with non-hygienic macros.  You are using the non-hygienic macro
 args:make-option within a hygienic macro.  The syntax-rules transformer
 doesn't know that h and help are being used literally here (because
 it cannot tell what args:make-option does), so it systematically renames
 them to avoid collisions.
 
 Is there something I need to change to fix the problem? Sorry for many
 misunderstandings.
 You can rewrite test as a non-hygienic (explicit renaming or implicit
 renaming) macro.

That's excellent news.

I have an issue related to parley: it seems to be interepreting C-d
(that's Control d) as Enter, as far as I understad.  It seems to
submit the expression to the evaluator, instead of removing the
character on the cursor.

Best wishes.
Mario
