Re: [Chicken-users] macroexpansion and csc

[Lui Fungsin]

I guess I hit a related problem.

;; test1.scm
(declare (uses srfi-13))

(eval-when (compile load eval)
  (require-extension srfi-13))

(define-macro (dc stuff)
  (string-downcase stuff))

(print (dc "ABC"))

% csc test1.scm
Error: during expansion of (dc ...) - unbound variable: string-downcase

        Call history:

        <syntax>                (begin (print (dc "ABC")))
        <syntax>                (print (dc "ABC"))
        <syntax>                (dc "ABC")
        <eval>          (string-downcase stuff) <--
*** Shell command terminated with exit status 1:
/usr/local/bin/chicken test1.scm -output-file test1.c -quiet

In this case, I didn't write the srfi-13 module - do I need to modify
srfi-13.scm and recompile chicken?

I guess there should be a way to make string-downcase available in
macro expansion time, right? (I thought the (eval-when (compile load
eval)...) will do the trick)

Thanks
