simple main example hello world

[Damien Mattei]

hello,
many years i used kawa for web application (.war)
now i want to do a simple standalone program but i can not find that
in my archive, i knew how to do it but just forget and i can not find
a tutorial (needed?) on kawa site.

how is it done? from scratch.
regards,
Damien

what is th problem with this:
;; test.scm
(module-name demo)
(module-compile-options main: #t)

(define-simple-class test ()

  ;; Need a default constructor as well.
  ((*init*) #!void)

  ((main (args :: java.lang.Object))
    (display "hello") (newline)
    "hello"))

bash-3.2$ kawa --main -C test.scm
(compiling test.scm to demo)
bash-3.2$ java -cp . test
Error: Main method not found in class test, please define the main method as:
   public static void main(String[] args)
or a JavaFX application class must extend javafx.application.Application

That test.main method is not static, does not have return type void, and
does not take an argument of type String[].

Try something like

((main args::String[])::void allocation: ‘static (display “hello”)
(newline))


Or just put statements at the top level and not inside a
define-simple-class, and let the module itself be the main. The simplest
hello world is a file with nothing but (display “hello”), run with kawa -f
test.scm (or maybe just kawa test.scm without the -f, I don’t have my
computer handy right now).

As Jamison wrote - this can be the entirety of your test.scm:

     (display "hello") (newline)

[Damien Mattei]

thank you

the simplest example works:

(display "hello") (newline)
(format #t "The command-line was:~{ ~w~}~%" (command-line))

kawa test.scm

i see kawa use some syntax extension such as []:
'((main args::String[])::void allocation: 'static (display "hello"))
 that expands in curly-infix reader as:
'((main args::String ()) ::void allocation: 'static (display "hello"))

is there a way to replace String[] in kawa by something that does not use []  ?

Yes. String[] is parsed as ($bracket-apply$ String)

When in doubt, you can always evaluate the expression:

(call-with-input-string "(String[])" read)

not exactly, {String[]} is parsed this way in SRFI 105 curly-infix:
> '{String[]}
'($bracket-apply$ String)

String[] without being in  { } is an error:

scheme@(guile-user)> 'String[]
$1 = String
While compiling expression:
Syntax error:
unknown location: unexpected syntax in form ()

and in Racket with a srfi-105 reader:
> 'String[]
'String
#%app: missing procedure expression;
 probably originally (), which is an illegal empty application in: (#%app)

but this works but is useless:
scheme@(guile-user)> '(String[])
$2 = (String ())

> '(String[]) ;;racket
'(String ())

i'm writing a converter from srfi-105 curly infix to scheme prefix , i
have a racket version in R5RS that should be portable to any scheme
and can convert any curly-infix  scheme code to prefix scheme but the
scheme should be R5RS compliant and i'm not sure Kawa is ?

this could be a solution, i suppose it evaluate the string as if it
was a kawa expression, but it is not very elegant if the [] are used
often in kawa code , but it is a solution indeed.
it works , the square bracket in a string is not modified by the reader:
scheme@(guile-user)> '(call-with-input-string "(String[])" read)
$3 = (call-with-input-string "(String[])" read)

i just adapted the curly-infix2prefix.scm for kawa, it is in attachment.
It convert a curly-infix program in prefix scheme allowing to use
syntax of SRFI-105 curly infix with Racket.But it is in command line
not integrated in REPL.

  ; Identifying the list of delimiter characters is harder than you'd think.
  ; This list is based on R6RS section 4.2.1, while adding [] and {},
  ; but removing "#" from the delimiter set.
  ; NOTE: R6RS has "#" has a delimiter.  However, R5RS does not, and
  ; R7RS probably will not - http://trac.sacrideo.us/wg/wiki/WG1Ballot3Results
  ; shows a strong vote AGAINST "#" being a delimiter.
  ; Having the "#" as a delimiter means that you cannot have "#" embedded
  ; in a symbol name, which hurts backwards compatibility, and it also
  ; breaks implementations like Chicken (has many such identifiers) and
  ; Gambit (which uses this as a namespace separator).
  ; Thus, this list does NOT have "#" as a delimiter, contravening R6RS
  ; (but consistent with R5RS, probably R7RS, and several implementations).
  ; Also - R7RS draft 6 has "|" as delimiter, but we currently don't.

By default, no, but there are options, like --r5rs or --r7rs you can use:See https://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/Options.html#Options-for-language-selection

Re: simple main example hello world

[Damien Mattei]

the code in attachment is mainly from SRFI 105 and is described as "a
simple R5RS reader, with a few minor (common) extensions." but i never
test it on Kawa code, i will test that as i want to port my Scheme+ to
Kawa as i have now a reader and i will test on my examples.
