This is more of a feature request. Apologies if this is an annoying request.
So I made a pretty noobie-like mistake a few days ago using (guix records). When one tries to create a <record-configuration>, he invariably creates an infinite number of records. The guile compiler eventually runs out of memory and stops compiling with an error message like: fish: Job 1, 'guile break-guile-compiler.scm' terminated by signal SIGKILL (Forced quit) I submitted this "bug" report to bug-g...@gnu.org as well. http://issues.guix.gnu.org/51383 It probably will not be fixed at the (guix records) macro level anytime soon, so I am submitting it here in case guile developers are interested in improving their compiler error messages. I came across this compiler error while debugging my 1,000 line program. Trying to figure out what was wrong without any hints from appropriate error messages was slightly confusing. Here is the bad code: (use-modules (guix records)) (define-record-type* <record-configuration> record-configuration make-record-configuration record-configuration? (command record-configuration-command ;; the error is here is on the next line (default (record-configuration)))) (record-configuration) Thanks, Joshua
