R7RS Libraries and Java interaction

R7RS Libraries and Java interaction

[Peter Lane]

Hi,

Is it possible to make an R7RS library recognise Java interaction when 
compiled?

e.g. if I try compiling the following:

(define-library (java)
                 (export get-num)
                 (import (scheme base))

                 (begin
                   (define (get-num) ((String "hello"):length))
                 ))

$ kawa --r7rs -C java.sld(compiling java.sld to java)
java.sld:7:54: warning - no declaration seen for :length

$ kawa --r7rs try-java.sps java.sld:7:54: unbound location: :length
     at gnu.mapping.SharedLocation.get(SharedLocation.java:22)
     at gnu.mapping.DynamicLocation.get(DynamicLocation.java:28)
     at java.getNum(java.sld:7)

If I rewrite get-num to use invoke, I still get compilation warnings, 
but it works at runtime.


If the answer's no, that's ok: I think Kawa's modules will interact all 
right with my other code.  I'm just partial to the R7RS form.

   thanks for any suggestions

        Peter.

It seems to work if you leave off the --r7rs flag.

The --r7rs disables features that conflict with R7RS, such as the special
meaning of colon, since in R7RS colon is just a regular symbol character.
You don't need it for this example.

That can be fixed by adding:

    (import (only (kawa base) invoke))
