keywords in standard mode
by Nguyen Thai Ngoc Duy 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

Hi, I'd like to show hidden files in standard mode. According to Gambit document, I need to use open-directory-port with ignore-hidden keyword but that wouldn't work in standard mode. Is there any way to make keywords work in standard mode, or another way to tell open-directory-port to list hidden files? Thanks, -- Duy

Here's an interesting article on implementing Objective-C applications with Gambit on Mac OS X: http://mikelevins.livejournal.com/3298.html Thanks to Fabrizio Gotti for pointing this out (Fabrizio is one of the authors of the Gambit IDE "GUIDE"). Marc

Slight improvment for the debugger interface?
by David St-Hilaire 19 Jul '09

19 Jul '09

Hello Gambit-list and Marc! I would have a simple request to enhance debugging in gambit. I often find myself to print backtraces, environments, etc to end up wondering "What was the error message again?". Then I always need to scroll back up to get it. Would it be possible to add a new , command like ,error or something like that so that it can redisplay the last error message again? Is this error in a dynamic variable so that I can print it myself? Thanks! David

Fwd: [Gambit-iphone] emacs/slime repl integration
by James Long 17 Jul '09

17 Jul '09

Hey everyone, We've been discussing integrating Gambit and the remote debugger with SLIME on the gambit-iphone mailing list. Marc suggested moving the discussion here, and I agree with him. Here's the discussion; the context is using Marc's remote debugger for debugging iphone apps, but it's relevant for debugging any app. Please chime in if you have experience with SLIME or Emacs. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: James Long <longster(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Jul 17, 2009 at 12:35 AM Subject: Re: [Gambit-iphone] emacs/slime repl integration To: Ryan Spangler <ryan.spangler(a)gmail.com> Cc: gambit-iphone(a)iro.umontreal.ca On Thu, Jul 16, 2009 at 6:53 PM, Ryan Spangler<ryan.spangler(a)gmail.com> wrote: > So after using the repl for some time, it has become clear that it needs to > be integrated into emacs.

You are absolutely right, it's a step that has to be taken. I am in the same boat as you, though. I don't have very much Emacs wizardry, nor have I used SLIME (which seems like a beast). However, I've always wanted to learn how to write Emacs modes and do exactly this kind of thing. I plan on writing a mode for iphone development and debugging. I have it schedule for the end of next week, and I will let you know of my progress. If anyone else wants to try using SLIME instead, you are more than welcome to! - James

Black Hole and Termite
by Jeremie Lasalle Ratelle 17 Jul '09

17 Jul '09

I implemented vector pattern matching in termite some time ago. I'm trying to port my code in the black hole version of termite but there is a problem with vectors in macro code. Here is an example (define-syntax macro-test (sc-macro-transformer (lambda (form env) (pp form) `(begin)))) > (macro-test '(1 2 3)) (macro-test '(1 2 3)) > (macro-test #(1 2 3)) (macro-test #(#(#(source1) 1 (console) 917509) #(#(source1) 2 (console) 1048581) #(#(source1) 3 (console) 1179653)))

Changing the console port settings dynamically?
by David St-Hilaire 17 Jul '09

17 Jul '09

Hi all! Is it possible to change the stdout port settings at runtime? I would like to be able to output some utf strings without having to start gambit with the utf-8 flag when launching gsi/gsc... is this possible? Thanks ^_^Y David

Black Hole and key parameters
by Vincent St-Amour 16 Jul '09

16 Jul '09

I've been playing around with Black Hole recently (which is quite nice, by the way), and noticed the following issue. Importing a file that contains : (define (f x #!key (y x)) (+ x y)) (display (f 3)) Causes this error : > (import foo) *** ERROR IN ##main -- (Argument 2) NUMBER expected (+ 3 #!unbound) > y is unbound, while it should have the same value as x. Since there seems to be a problem with both of Black Hole's git repositories at the moment, I have not tested this with the latest version. If this has already been solved, sorry. Vincent

##namespace fun
by lowly coder 15 Jul '09

15 Jul '09

Why can't I do the following: (define-macro (module name) ,(begin (##namespace (string-append (object->string ,name) "#")) (##include "~~lib/gambit#.scm"))) ?

by Mikael More 15 Jul '09

The documentation for Black Hole is released in a beta version on http://dynamo.iro.umontreal.ca/~gambit/wiki/index.php/Black_Hole . The bundled libraries documentation document is an early draft. Give your input on how you prefer the bundled libraries and their exports to be documented and indexed - including what file format it should be written in, and how document files should be generated - at this early stage of the construction of their documentation. Please submit any feedback, questions or suggestions you have on the current version of the documentation, during the next three weeks from now. Thanks, Mikael
