Tried a code snippet with Gambit 4.7.4 on my iPhone and got an unbound variable error for filter. I noticed the same thing on my laptop’s version (4.8.9). Dybvig’s 4th edition of The Scheme Programming Language lists filter as part of the language on page 164. Why does it not exist in Gambit Scheme?

“filter” is not part of the R4RS or R5RS scheme standards, which Gambit implements. It appears that Marc is rapidly adding routines to Gambit to make it R7RS compliant, but I don’t see a “filter” routine in R7RS-small. “Filter” is implemented in SRFI-1, and there is port of SRFI-1 to Gambit in the “Dumping Grounds”: http://dynamo.iro.umontreal.ca/wiki/index.php/Dumping_Grounds Perhaps this would be of help.

Right. The only SRFI-1 procedures added to R7RS-small are `make-list` and `list-copy`, based on the corresponding vector and string procedures. In addition, some others were slightly changed for SRFI 1 compatibility: e.g. R7RS-small `map` is specified to stop when one of the list arguments is exhausted, whereas in R5RS it was an error to provide lists of different lengths. -- John Cowan http://vrici.lojban.org/~cowan cowan@ccil.org Evolutionary psychology is the theory that men are nothing but horn-dogs, and that women only want them for their money. --Susan McCarthy (adapted)
