Description (last modified by )
Reported by Kon Lovett:
cat >matches-prob-test.scm <<'HERE' (import scheme) (import (chicken irregex)) (define (uses-predicate str) (and (string? str) (irregex-match? '(: "foo") str) ) ) (print "uses-predicate: " (uses-predicate "")) HERE csc ./matches-prob-test.scm ./matches-prob-test #uses-predicate: #f csc -specialize ./matches-prob-test.scm ./matches-prob-test #Error: unbound variable: and
Interestingly, this goes all the way back to 4.9.0; in 4.8.0.5 this program (with suitable changes for C4) works as expected with -specialize
.
It looks like the and
that's being complained about is the one in the irregex-match?
specialization in types.db
. This makes sense if the specialization is the last thing that happens, there's no more macro expansion step and stuff will break.
