* stdlib/error.tl problem rears its head.Kaz Kylheku2023-11-161-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There used to be a hack in the Makefile whereby the compilation of stdlib/error.tl was forced to occur earlier. I got rid of it. Now, the issue that was solving reproduced. A situation can occur whereby loading error.tl triggers loading some other files, which end up performing an expansion that needs sys:bind-mac-check: but that function has not yet been defined because error.tl has not yet loaded that far. The issue occurs when stdlib/place.tl is compiled before stdlib/error.tl. The compiled place.tl has a run-time dependency on functions in error.tl, because the compiled version of mac-param-bind and other forms relies on a run-time support function sys:bind-mac-check defined in stdlib/error.tl. * stdlib/error.tl (sys:dig): This function triggers the problem, but it's not the only cause. Here, the problem is because the (set ...) macro is used which triggers loading the stdlib/place module. That brings in the need for bind-mac-params. So here we use sys:setq instead. That is not a complete solution. The changes in eval.c are also required, because built-in macros like whilet expand to code that uses the (set ...) macro. Note how sys:dig uses whilet. (sys:bind-mac-check, sys:bind-mac-error): We move these functions above compile-warning. This addresses remaining circularity problem. The compile-warning function uses the catch macro which brings in stdlib/except.tl, which pulls in stdlib/op.tl due to its use of (do ...), which pulls in stdlib/place.tl. So if we already define sys:bind-mac-check at that point, we are good. * eval.c: Sweep the file for almost all places where macros generate code that invokes (set <symbol> <value>) and replace that with (sys:setq <symbol> <value>) to eliminate the dependency on loading the stdlib/place.tl module. (me_def_variable, me_gun, me_while_until_star, me_case, me_whilet, me_mlet, me_load_for, me_pop_after_load): In all these macro expanders, use sys:setq rather than set in the generated code. * tests/019/load-hook.tl: Some test cases here look for a macro expansion containing (set ...), needing to be fixed to look for (sys:setq ...) due to the change in eval.c.
* load: new macros push-after-load and pop-after-load.Kaz Kylheku2021-09-031-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | * eval.c (me_push_after_load, me_pop_after_load): New static functions. (eval_init): Register push-after-load and pop-after-load intrinsic macros. * tests/019/load-hook.tl: Tests for correct expansion. * txr.1: Documented. * stdlib/doc-syms.tl: Updated.
* load: new *load-hooks* feature.Kaz Kylheku2021-09-021-0/+18
*load-hooks* lets a .txr, .tl or .tlo file specify actions to be taken when the loading of that file completes, whether normally or via an exception. They are also honored by process exit. For instance, with this, we can have a Lisp file that behaves like a script which cleans up after itself (e.g. removing temporary files) even if it is not run as a stand-alone program, but invoked via (load ...). Because it's not a stand-alone program, it cannot simply use the at-exit-call mechanism. The unwind-protect operator could be used, but it's inconvenient because it protects a single form. The *load-hooks* feature in effect protects all the top level forms of a load, similarly to unwind-protect. Also, unwind-protect does not guard against a process exit. (However, *load-hooks* does not guard against an abnormal exit, only normal termination). * eval.c (load_hooks_s): New symbol variable. (run_load_hooks): New function. (run_load_hooks_atexit): New static function. (load): bind *load-hooks* to nil around load. Implement the hooks processing via run_load_hooks, taking care to pass the load-time dynamic environment that has already been undone. (eval_init): Initialize load_hooks_s and register the *load-hooks* variable. Register run_load_hooks_atexit with atexit, so the current value of *load-hooks* is processed on process exit. * eval.h (load_hooks_s, run_load_hooks): Declared. * match.c (v_load): Similar changes as in load. * txr.c (txr_main): Run the load hooks with run_load_hooks immediately after processing the .txr or .tl file, before entering the listener. * tests/019/load-hook.tl: New directory and file * tests/load-hook.tl: New file. * txr.1: Documented. * stdlib/doc-syms.tl: Updated.
