Hi!
The my-or example macro in the documentation has a subtle bug.
(letrec-syntax ((my-or
(syntax-rules ()
((my-or)
#t)
((my-or exp)
exp)
((my-or exp rest ...)
(let ((t exp))
(if exp
exp
(my-or rest ...)))))))
(my-or #f "rockaway beach"))
In the third rule t is bound to exp, presumably to use t instead of exp
to prevent evaluating exp multiple times, but t is never used and exp is
used again. This is the bug in action:
scheme@(guile-user)> (letrec-syntax ((my-or
(syntax-rules ()
((my-or)
#t)
((my-or exp)
exp)
((my-or exp rest ...)
(let ((t exp))
(if exp
exp
(my-or rest ...)))))))
(my-or (display "*") 1))
***scheme@(guile-user)>
I'm sure you already know how to fix it :-)
(letrec-syntax ((my-or
(syntax-rules ()
((my-or)
#t)
((my-or exp)
exp)
((my-or exp rest ...)
(let ((t exp))
(if t
t
(my-or rest ...)))))))
(my-or #f "rockaway beach"))
