repl, abridged output?
Hello, When I work with large arrays or other large data structures on the command line, I have to be careful not to print them. Guile always prints these things in full, it takes forever and often I can't even C-c. I've seen that there's a REPL command ,inspect that produces abridged output. Is it possible to have this as the default for printing to the REPL? Is there any way to configure this? Thanks, Daniel
IXIN 1.2 available
release notes: One bugfix, some new features, and more detailed ‘meta’ spec. BTW, ‘a2ixin foo.sxml’ works fine under Guile 2. Getting the .sxml in the first place is the problem, there. thi README excerpts: IXIN is an EXPERIMENTAL distribution of EXPERIMENTAL code and some pre-built IXIN files. IXIN stands for "indexed texinfo". All code is under GPLv3+. All (.xml) docs are under GFDL. [...] It defines a documentation file format and provides two simple tools to write and read, respectively, files in that format. NEWS excerpt: - 1.2 | 2012-12-03 - bugfix: use ‘pretty-print’ also for index Previously, a node name could be incorrectly written in the index due to the lameness of ‘object->string’ (mentioned in release 1.1). You can see this by copying new file prob.xml into the previous release and running "make prob.ixin". Contrast to the prob.ixin distributed in this release. - new retrieve command: dump-node This displays the raw node data for a selected node to stdout. To get the tree, do: ‘./retrieve ... | base64 -d | gzip -d’. - new retrieve command: repl This runs a simple command loop that reads from stdin and writes to stdout. The program maintains a "current node", and recognizes some simple navigation and display commands. Type ‘quit’ to quit. To see this in action, try "make demo-zow". Add ‘ZOW=rcs’, e.g., to choose rcs.ixin (defaults to alive.ixin if not specified). - ‘meta’ format defined Previously, it was simply the portion of the (input) SXML prior to the first ‘node’ element. Now, it has the form: (ATTRS XID VARS SETTINGS COPYING TITLEPAGE ELEMENT...) This change is a move from underspecified to specified, so the version number of the format remains at 1.

Environments
Hi Everyone, What I like to do is to let the user give a "driver" library and pass that "driver" library around which implements a certain procedure. Using the eval procedure together with a small instruction and a ad-hoc generated environment would let the software be pretty free of things flying around with ill side-effects. Anyone an idea how I could do this in a portable way? I have been trying to do this using the construct (environment, /import-spec/), however, this doesn't appear to include the default things which the "guile" library provides (such as quote, unquote, quasiquote and the likes). When using the (scheme-report-enviroment 5), it appears not to be possible to pass along additional import-spec elements. I know it is possible to pass "guile" along, however, this is not very elegant in portability. Also, I would like the environment to be destroyed afterwards (as I don't want the environment to leak unwanted side-effects). Anyone an idea about how to do this? Thanks in advance, Sjoerd

[ANN] guile-colorized released!
hi folks! Here is the project to colorize Guile REPL: https://github.com/NalaGinrut/guile-colorized Play it according to README. Attached a screen shot for the effect. Enjoy it! And it uses 'before-print-hook', Daniel posted a patch to add REPL optional printer in another thread. I'll update my project for this after that patch is accepted, and format a patch. PS: Though I've tested it, but maybe bugs remain. Both bug-report/patches/suggestion are welcome, thanks! Happy hacking! <>
