i have found that the error is related with this : (define-syntax $nfx$ (syntax-rules ()
((_ ident opspecial term1 op term2) (cond ((or (equal? (quote opspecial) (quote <-)) (equal? (quote opspecial) (quote ←))) (begin (display "$nfx$") (newline) (opspecial ident (op term1 term2)))) ;; {ident <- term1 op term2} ((or (equal? (quote op) (quote ->)) (equal? (quote op) (quote →))) (op term2 (opspecial ident term1))) ;; Warning: argument names of macro do not reprensent the values contained in this case (else (! ident (quote opspecial) term1 op term2)))) this code works: scheme@(guile-user)> (define i 2) scheme@(guile-user)> {i <- i + 1} $nfx$ 3 but if i change the last line of the else clause by removing the quote of opspecial: (else (! ident opspecial term1 op term2)))) it will fail: scheme@(guile-user)> {i <- i + 1} While compiling expression: Syntax error: unknown location: source expression failed to match any pattern in form <- i understand the problem is with opspecial equal in this example to the special form <- but what i do not understand is why the code is then going to the else clause as i know that previously it was on the same example evaluating the first clause: (begin (display "$nfx$") (newline) (opspecial ident (op term1 term2)))) ;; {ident <- term1 op term2} ???
