                 Summary: srfi-19: current-time return type inconsistency
                 Project: Guile
            Submitted by: None

    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The procedure current-time in srfi-19 returns a time record:

  guile> (current-time)
  #<time type: time-utc nanosecond: ...

...except when the time type time-process is requested in which case a list
is returned:

  guile> (current-time time-process)
  (time-process ...

This causes other functionality to break, for example time-difference:

  guile> (time-difference
           (current-time)
           (current-time))
  #<time type: time-duration nanosecond: ...

  guile> (time-difference
           (current-time time-process)
           (current-time time-process))
  ...
  ... not-a-record (time-process ...
  ABORT: (misc-error)

Suggested fix:

There are two definitions of priv:current-time-process in srfi-19.scm. The
first returns a time record, and second returns the list. Commenting out the
second gives me the behavior I expected.

thanks for your time,
Scott Shedden
