Re: [Chicken-users] define-syntax ?

[Todd Dukes]

Thanks a bunch. The Introduction didn't say it provided define-syntax
so I did not realize it did.

I was able to remove the need for the -R riaxpander on the command line
by adding: 
    (require-extension riaxpander)
to my code, but I couldn't get it to compile without the -Dcompile-syntax
on the command line. I tried adding:
    (register-feature! #:compile-syntax)
or
    (register-feature! 'compile-syntax)
or
    (register-feature! "compile-syntax")
both before or after the (require-extension riaxpander), but get
an error:

Syntax error: Non-expression in expression sequence:

        #<definition>

        Expansion history:

        <eval>          (cons standard-bvl#3 body#4)

        <eval>          (##sys#ria-expand-extended-lambda-list (cadr form#0) 
(cddr form#0) ##sys#syntax-error-hook)
        <eval>          (cadr form#0)
        <eval>          (cddr form#0)
        <eval>          (cons (rename#1 (quote *lambda)) (cons standard-bvl#3 
body#4))
        <eval>          (rename#1 (quote *lambda))
        <eval>          (cons standard-bvl#3 body#4)    <--
*** Shell command terminated with exit status 1: 
/pkg/chicken-/3.1.0/x86_64-linux//bin/chicken disasm-utils-lib.scm -output-file 
disasm-utils-lib.c -quiet


I will just leave the odd command line in my makefile for now and come
back to it when everything else seems to work.

Thanks,
Todd.
