Q1) The code below creates two macros. One called `define-foo' which generates a new identifier and then defines that to #t. The other, `define-foo/p', generates the same identifier (lexical issue?) and another identifier, then "calls" define-foo and then uses both identifiers in a `define'. When executed I get this error:
scheme@(guile-user)> (define-foo/p abc) ;;; <stdin>:2:0: warning: possibly unbound variable `wrap-abc' <unnamed port>:2:0: <unnamed port>:2:0: In procedure module-lookup: Unbound variable: wrap-abc What am I doing wrong here? Q2) Also with respect to the code below. Is there any way to pull the definitions for stx->str and gen-id out of the define-syntax body to make them general purpose? This code being developed under guile-2.2.2. The code: (define-syntax define-foo (lambda (x) (define (stx->str stx) (symbol->string (syntax->datum stx))) (define (gen-id tmpl-id . args) (datum->syntax tmpl-id (string->symbol (apply string-append (map (lambda (ss) (if (string? ss) ss (stx->str ss))) args))))) (syntax-case x () ((_ name) (with-syntax ((wrap (gen-id x "wrap-" #'name))) #'(begin (define wrap #t))))))) (define-syntax define-foo/p (lambda (x) (define (stx->str stx) (symbol->string (syntax->datum stx))) (define (gen-id tmpl-id . args) (datum->syntax tmpl-id (string->symbol (apply string-append (map (lambda (ss) (if (string? ss) ss (stx->str ss))) args))))) (syntax-case x () ((_ name) (with-syntax ((wrap (gen-id x "wrap-" #'name)) (rewrap (gen-id x "rewrap-" #'name))) #'(begin (define-foo name) (define rewrap wrap))))))) ;;(define-foo/p abc) ;; expect: ;; (define wrap-abc #t) ;; (define rewrap-abc wrap-abc) ;;(define-foo abc) ;; works (but does not define rewrap-abc ;; expect: ;; (define wrap-abc #t) Thanks for the help, Matt
