Can you check whether this still happens?  Apparently, this was with
‘master’, right?

Note that the stable development branch is ‘stable-2.0’.

Thanks,

bug#10974: guile-user <at> gnu.org

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply.

The macros in numbers.h that are “symbol macros”, such as
‘scm_from_int’, allow users to write code like:

  &scm_from_int

This wouldn’t be possible if these were function macros.

Thus, I think things will have to remain this way.

What do you think?

Thanks,

Hi,

It's ok. You may close it.

I still think it could be less confusing if the libguile.so implemented/provided
functions as advertised in Guile API docs for the sake of interfacing to
languages other than C. And &scm_from_int wold also work if it were a real
function.

But there are many more macros, so such a link-time interface would be a
lot of work, I realize by now.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks, fixed differently in a8215aedad433a15abf87c2310a41c684dfcef97.

In the future, could you please provide a patch with a log and test case
similar to what’s in the above commit?

Yeah.  Though here, you could still write bindings for ‘scm_from_int32’
(the real function) instead of ‘scm_from_int’, for instance, no?

Thanks,

Interesting, I hadn't thought of that.

Would this be "fixed" if we changed these to be implemented as inline
functions?

Dunno, just thinking out loud.

In some way, though their address could still not be taken.

Sorry to be obtuse, but with our inline functions, we also residualize a
concrete instantiation (via the inline.c madness).  Does that not work?
