Hi,
`scm_list ()' is no longer available in 1.7, not even as a deprecated
function. In 1.6, it is documented as follows:
-- Scheme Procedure: list . objs
-- C Function: scm_list (objs)
Return a list containing OBJS, the arguments to `list'.
The funny thing is that to get a list, you had to have a list already
(OBJS is a list here). I don't really get the point of this function in
fact. ;-)
Should the following be enough to ensure compatibility?
SCM
scm_list (SCM obj)
{
scm_c_issue_deprecation_warning ("`scm_list' is deprecated. Use "
"`scm_list_n' instead.");
SCM_VALIDATE_LIST (1, obj);
return obj;
}
Thanks,
Ludovic.

Presumably that's why it has been removed!

Shouldn't that be something like "`scm_list' is deprecated. Wherever
you have `scm_list (X)', you can replace it by just `X'."

That's why I dropped it :-). But yes, I'll put it back just in case.

No thanks, I'll put the original no-op.

Why not marking it as deprecated as well?
Thanks,
Ludovic.

Because there's nothing wrong with it! :) Deprecated should mean
something that has a fatal flaw, something so bad that applications
must be forced away from it.
