<paroneayea>ijp: daviid: rekado: Sent a patch for srfi-71 support to bug-guile :)

<paroneayea>fun fun

<paroneayea>and thanks for pointing to that module, ijp

<daviid>paroneayea: gret!

<daviid>great!

<kristofer>hello!

<ijp>resolve-interface is being problematic :/

<dsmith-work>Happy Friday, Guilers!!

<civodul>hey, happy Friday dsmith-work & all!

<OrangeShark>Happy Friday

<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>ijp: what's problematic?

<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?

<sneek>Got it.

<amz3>We are doing a release of guile-git, if you want something in it chime in

<OrangeShark>hey amz3

<amz3> https://gitlab.com/guile-git/guile-git

<OrangeShark>just saw the email :)

<amz3>:)

<amz3>I am wondering about the documentation

<amz3>we did no doc

<OrangeShark>yeah, I looked a bit into how to use textinfo so you can get info, pdf, and even html docs

<OrangeShark>*texinfo

<amz3>I will checkout texinfo

<catonano>a

<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>rekado: yes.

<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>it works correct now.

<catonano>davidl: that happens :-/

<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.
