<paroneayea>ijp: daviid: rekado: Sent a patch for srfi-71 support to bug-guile :) <ijp>resolve-interface is being problematic :/ <civodul>hey, happy Friday dsmith-work & all! <atw>"...it [the Boehm GC] uses POSIX signals to pause program threads instead of having those threads reach safepoints..." Is it possible to have the concept of safepoints? <paroneayea>something in particular about resolve-interface being tricky to implement? or having some structural issue? <amz3>sneek: later tell nalaginrut, I'd like to improve support of guile-git for your use case? Can you describe in more details the design of the file based database? <amz3>We are doing a release of guile-git, if you want something in it chime in <amz3>I am wondering about the documentation <OrangeShark>yeah, I looked a bit into how to use textinfo so you can get info, pdf, and even html docs <davidl>I need some help on how to load a variable defined in another .scm file. <davidl>I have a file with (define module (hello) \\n #:export hello) \\n (define hello "Hello ") but it returns an error when loaded from another file. <rekado>does the other file (use-modules (hello)) ? <ijp>I assume that was a typo, but define-module not define module <ijp>also guile doesn't put the current directory on the load path by default, so that might be an issue <davidl>ijp: yeah, Im using define-module and also export GUILE_LOAD_PATH=. ./program.scm <davidl>"define-module: unknown keyword of bad argument in subform hello of #:export" <davidl>It works perfectly fine if I load the file with load and comment out the module part. <davidl>ugh, I think it was a hidden blankspace or something and not a logical error on my part. Been trying to figure this out forever :/ <davidl>yeah better get my emacs geiser stuff setup again. <davidl>I actually really wonder about the error I had before because the same thing works fine when I run a guile that loads a string variable but not when I use guix (loading a module with only a string variable defined). I can only make guix load the file itself, not when the .scm file is defined as a module.
