<linas>hi tupi mark_weaver .. not using gnome <linas>not setting port encoding, I thought I read that all ports are utf-8 by default ... and anyway, utf8 seems to work 99.99% of the time. <linas>I do set (setlocale LC_ALL "") <linas>I do get a stack trace, but its utterly uninformative ... its just ?: 3 [# # eval] or something like that <linas>a few catch-closure and boot-9.scm for good measure. <linas>But that's a raw stack dump, not a debugger stack dump, which might show more. <linas>I've got to figure out how to invoke the debugger ... the problem is, this is all a multi-hour batch job <linas>and if the error is caught, it prints, and moves on. *davexunit found and fixed a bug in guile-wm :) <mark_weaver>linas: make sure your scheme code is compiled. compiled code has much better debugging. <mark_weaver>from your description of the backtrace, it sounds like the code is not compiled. <ijp>"We saw in Part One that an interactive top-level loop necessarily violates referential transparency" <ijp>that may sound like something written by one of the nice racket folks, but in fact, it is much much older <ijp>1978, steele and sussman <ijp>"The Art of the Interpreter, or, The Modularity Complex" <ijp>aka. the lambda paper I had somehow not read before ***mario-go` is now known as mario-goulart
<sneek>wingo was here Dec 13 at 12:09 pm UTC, saying: that is a test of the stack :) test on loops and the difference is much more.
