bug#37066: Using GOOPS #:allocation #:virtual slot option causes stack overflow

[Jan]

Hi everyone.

I've written the program attached below and it hangs at writing 
"after changing (K): ", computer freezes for a moment and then Guile
throws the following message:

allocate_stack failed: Can't allocate memory
Warning: Unwind-only `stack-overflow' exception; skipping pre-unwind
handler.
allocate_stack failed: Can't allocate memory
Warning: Unwind-only `stack-overflow' exception; skipping pre-unwind
handler.

Guile version: 2.9.3
OS: Devuan ASCII GNU/Linux
Architecture: x86_64

Code:

(define-class <temperature> ()
  (k #:init-value 0
     #:init-keyword #:k
     #:accessor kelvin)

  (c #:accessor celsius
     #:init-keyword #:c
     #:allocation #:virtual
     #:slot-ref (lambda (o)
                  (let ((k (slot-ref o 'k)))
                    (- k 273.15)))
     #:slot-set! (lambda (o c)
                   (slot-set! o 'c c)
                   (slot-set! o 'k (+ 273.15 c)))))

(define (test-virtual-slots)
  (let ((temp1 (make <temperature> #:k 0)))
    (display "Absolute zero(K): ")
    (display (kelvin temp1))
    (newline)
    (display "Absolute zero(C): ")
    (display (celsius temp1))
    (newline)
    (display "After changing (K): ")
    (slot-set! temp1 'c 0)
    (display (kelvin temp1))))

(test-virtual-slots)

I couldn't find any mistake, because I'm a new Guile user, so please
tell me if I'm doing something wrong. Using an example from the manual
(8.5 Illustrating Slot Description) didn't help, because it also throws
a different error, not sure if I hadn't copied everything or if there's
something fundamentally wrong in GOOPS.

The code of the example:

(define-class <my-complex> (<number>)
  ;; True slots use rectangular coordinates
  (r #:init-value 0 #:accessor real-part #:init-keyword #:r)
  (i #:init-value 0 #:accessor imag-part #:init-keyword #:i)
  ;; Virtual slots access do the conversion
  (m #:accessor magnitude #:init-keyword #:magn
     #:allocation #:virtual
     #:slot-ref (lambda (o)
                  (let ((r (slot-ref o ’r)) (i (slot-ref o ’i)))
                    (sqrt (+ (* r r) (* i i)))))
     #:slot-set! (lambda (o m)
                   (let ((a (slot-ref o ’a)))
                     (slot-set! o ’r (* m (cos a)))
                     (slot-set! o ’i (* m (sin a))))))
  (a #:accessor angle #:init-keyword #:angle
     #:allocation #:virtual
     #:slot-ref (lambda (o)
                  (atan (slot-ref o ’i) (slot-ref o ’r)))
     #:slot-set! (lambda(o a)
                   (let ((m (slot-ref o ’m)))
                     (slot-set! o ’r (* m (cos a)))
                     (slot-set! o ’i (* m (sin a)))))))

(define c (make <my-complex> #:r 12 #:i 20))
(slot-set! c ’a 3)
(display "Real part: ")
(display (real-part c))
(newline)
(display "Angle: ")
(display (angle c))
(newline)
(slot-set! c ’i 10)
(set! (real-part c) 1)
(describe c)

The error:
