Re: [Chicken-users] obscure error message after refactoring
* Alan Post alanp...@sunflowerriver.org [110120 14:59]: I've been looking over diffs trying to see if I've introduced a subtle scope or syntax error somewhere, but I'm not having much luck. What do I do with an error message like the one above? It isn't obvious to me where I need to look to fix the problem. First of all try to increase the call-chain size with -:aN where N is the number of entries. Then it also might be that the error occurs after your stuff has been expanded by syntax. So have a look at the continuation of all this code. It may give some hints. I hope you can identify the culprit soon. Good luck hunting, Christian ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

From: Alan Post alanp...@sunflowerriver.org Subject: [Chicken-users] obscure error message after refactoring Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2011 06:58:27 -0700 I don't have an explicit call to caddr anywhere in my code, and I believe the following line: syntax (##core#set! genturfahi-version trunk) Refers to the last line in the last file of my library. I've been looking over diffs trying to see if I've introduced a subtle scope or syntax error somewhere, but I'm not having much luck. What do I do with an error message like the one above? It isn't obvious to me where I need to look to fix the problem. This is an expansion error in a macro, or it's an internal compiler error. The code runs correctly when interpreted? cheers, felix ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

It isn't obvious to me where I need to look to fix the problem. This is an expansion error in a macro, or it's an internal compiler error. The code runs correctly when interpreted? The code runs differently when interpreted! It isn't currently matching any of my .peg files, but it does run to completion. I keep in my tests/ directory both .peg and .scm versions of my parsers. Normally, I use the .scm versions of my parsers to pinpoint precise problems in the code, as a failure to compile a .peg file is really just there's a problem somewhere. I haven't tried yet running my tests from the interpreter to see exactly what is not working like I expect. I did, for this change, include the matchable egg. I took some extra time checking to make sure I was using it correctly, though the error could still be in how I'm using that API. I believe it is the only difference in macro-using code I've changed. It's a fair hint anyway. -Alan -- .i ko djuno fi le do sevzi ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

Can you explain what you mean by look at the continuation of all this code? I don't understand yet. -Alan -- .i ko djuno fi le do sevzi ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

I don't understand yet. I am refering to the location where the code shown in the call-chain is expanded. It might also be a macro that causes an error during expansion though. ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
