Mark H Weaver bf9eb54aab Implement SRFI-105 curly infix expressions.
* libguile/private-options.h: Add SCM_CURLY_INFIX_P macro, and increment
  SCM_N_READ_OPTIONS.

* libguile/read.c (sym_nfx, sym_bracket_list, sym_bracket_apply): New
  variables.
  (scm_read_opts): Add curly-infix reader option.  Reformat to comply
  with GNU coding standards.
  (scm_t_read_opts): Add curly_infix_p and neoteric_p fields.
  (init_read_options): Initialize new fields.
  (CHAR_IS_DELIMITER): Add '{', '}', '[', and ']' as delimiters if
  curly_infix_p is set.

  (set_port_square_brackets_p, set_port_curly_infix_p): New functions.

  (read_inner_expression): New function which contains the code that was
  previously in 'scm_read_expression'.  Handle curly braces when
  curly_infix_p is set.  If curly_infix_p is set and square_brackets_p
  is unset, follow the Kawa convention: [...] => ($bracket-list$ ...)

  (scm_read_expression): New function body to handle neoteric
  expressions where appropriate.

  (scm_read_shebang): Handle the new reader directives: '#!curly-infix'
  and the non-standard '#!curly-infix-and-bracket-lists'.

  (scm_read_sexp): Handle curly infix lists.

* module/ice-9/boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Add srfi-105 feature
  identifier.

* doc/ref/srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-105): Add stub doc for SRFI-105.

* doc/ref/api-evaluation.texi (Scheme Read): Add documentation for the
  'curly-infix' read option, and the '#!curly-infix' and
  '#!curly-infix-and-bracket-lists' reader directives.

* doc/ref/api-options.texi (Runtime Options): Add 'curly-infix' to the
  list of read options.

* test-suite/Makefile.am: Add tests/srfi-105.test.

* test-suite/tests/srfi-105.test: New file.

README Revert "Note need for subscription to bug-guile@gnu.org." 2008-12-10 19:07:14 +00:00

This directory contains some tests for Guile, and some generic test
support code.

To run these tests, you will need a version of Guile more recent than
15 Feb 1999 --- the tests use the (ice-9 and-let*) and (ice-9
getopt-long) modules, which were added to Guile around then.

For information about how to run the test suite, read the usage
instructions in the comments at the top of the guile-test script.

You can reference the file `lib.scm' from your own code as the module
(test-suite lib); it also has comments at the top and before each
function explaining what's going on.

Please write more Guile tests, and send them to bug-guile@gnu.org.
We'll merge them into the distribution.  All test suites must be
licensed for our use under the GPL, but I don't think I'm going to
collect assignment papers for them.



Some test suite philosophy:

GDB has an extensive test suite --- around 6300 tests.  Every time the
test suite catches a bug, it's great.

GDB is so complicated that folks are often unable to get a solid
understanding of the code before making a change --- we just don't
have time.  You'll see people say things like, "Here's a fix for X; it
doesn't cause any regressions."  The subtext is, I made a change that
looks reasonable, and the test suite didn't complain, so it must be
okay.

I think this is terrible, because it suggests that the writer is using
the test suite as a substitute for having a rock-solid explanation of
why their changes are correct.  The problem is that any test suite is
woefully incomplete.  Diligent reasoning about code can catch corner
conditions or limitations that no test suite will ever find.



Jim's rule for test suites:

Every test suite failure should be a complete, mysterious surprise,
never a possibility you were prepared for.  Any other attitude
indicates that you're using the test suite as a crutch, which you need
only because your understanding is weak.
