Guile (3.0.8) reports a compilation error when cond-expand tries to check existence of a missing library:
scheme@(guile-user)> (define-library (test) (cond-expand ((library (scheme sort)) (import (scheme sort))))) While compiling expression: no code for module (scheme sort) It looks like bug #40252 was not fully eliminated. Also, (library ...) cannot handle module names like (srfi 1), though (import (srfi 1)) works fine. For example, this code fails: scheme@(guile-user)> (define-library (test) (cond-expand ((library (srfi 1)) (import (srfi 1))))) While compiling expression: In procedure symbol->string: Wrong type argument in position 1 (expecting symbol): 1 There are probably other cases when (library ...) and (import ...) does not work identically: (library ...) uses resolve-interface while (import ...) uses resolve-r6rs-interface. This patch fixes both issues. diff --git a/module/ice-9/r7rs-libraries.scm b/module/ice-9/r7rs-libraries.scm index c4c4da22f..63a300a26 100644 --- a/module/ice-9/r7rs-libraries.scm +++ b/module/ice-9/r7rs-libraries.scm @@ -55,7 +55,10 @@ ((not req) (not (has-req? #'req))) ((library lib-name) - (->bool (resolve-interface (syntax->datum #'lib-name)))) + (->bool + (false-if-exception + (resolve-r6rs-interface + (syntax->datum #'lib-name))))) (id (identifier? #'id) ;; FIXME: R7RS (features) isn't quite the same as -- Mihail Iosilevitch
