[PATCH] Colorized REPL

[PATCH] Colorized REPL

[Nala Ginrut]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 599 bytes --]

Hi folks!
Here's a patch to add colorized-REPL.
With Daniel's optional REPL printer patch, this one based on the former
would print colored result more pretty than guile-colorized. 
Thanks Daniel Hartwig!

And I didn't patch the doc to add an usage for this module, since it's
very easy, like (ice-9 readline):
-----------------cut-----------------
(use-modules (ice-9 colorized))
(activate-colorized)
-----------------end-----------------
And one may add these two lines to his/her '~/.guile'.

@ludo: I attached Daniel's patch in this mail, please apply in the order
if you accept them.

Thanks!

This module seems only used to determine the type of each datum for
assigning a colour:

+(define *colorize-list*
+  `((,<integer> ,color-integer light-blue)
+    (,<char> ,color-char brown)

The datums tested for are all primitives.  For reference, the
“class-of” operator is more-or-less equivalent to:

 (cond
  ((integer? x) <interge>)
  ((char? x) <char>)
  …

Is there some advantage to using the GOOPS classes rather than
equivalent predicates, which are more universal?  Of course, the order
of the tests matters highly in both cases.


There is already a guile-lib module (ansi term-color) that has a
particular syntax and defines the codes.  It would be excellent to
make use of it here, or at least share the syntax and avoid some
duplication.

Oh~I'm very sorry! I just copied the header from one of my project!

GOOPS classes covered all the possible types in Guile, and it's easy to
detect the type of a datum with class-of. I just choose the simplest way
which I can imagined.

The code segment of the color is not so big, so I write my own. 
And it's not easy to do a quick hack with mixing other guy's code.
For a quick hack, and it's simple, so I have no time to care about
reusing other's work. I don't think it's proper to use (ansi term-color)
purposely, since it's not in Guile.


PS: A fixed patch attached.

Predicates cover the same or a greater range of types, in more detail.
 Consider application-specific types:
- a non-GOOPS extension will provide a predicate, but no specific GOOPS class;
- a GOOPS extension will typically provide both.

If the colouring is to be made extensible (as it should be), a system
based on GOOPS class will be insufficient for these extra types.
Further, suppose a user wants to colour the same type differently
depending on it's content (such as short vs. long strings, or strings
matching some pattern).

… or target this work at extending guile-lib; as a pure-scheme module,
it certainly falls within the scope.  I understand you are keen to

With the alternate (and preferred, IMO) patch I sent, the custom
print procedure should not contain those parts anyway.  You can
presume that an the before-print-hook has been called, and
unspecified value has already been ignored.

Anyway, looks like a good start to such a feature, though I am
surprised to see the structure is very different to pretty-print ! :-)

OK, I understand it now. And I'm going to write an more extensible
type-checker. Nevertheless, maybe I should do some work to give the
users chance to define his/her own color-scheme in '~/.guile'. 
But it maybe not so easy, I've no idea about it yet. So I'll do the
type-checker first.

I can understand this too. So your suggestion is to write a 
(term ansi-color) compatible interface. I think it's easy to do.
But I'm afraid that Guile don't integrate (term ansi-color). Or I should
copy (term ansi-color) into colorized.scm? It's not a big one, but is it
proper?
Anyway, (ice-9 colorized) contains ansi-color procedures could be worthy
of the name.

What if I send three patches eventually?
1. optinal-repl-printer
2. colorized.scm
3. ansi-color.scm

I just want to make sure colorized-repl feature work successfully.

In your code, one uses "(light-blue yellow)", and only some times as a
list, where as in ansi-color the symbols are upper case and the names
different, "RED ON-BLUE".  I am suggesting to use the same names for
same things, so the interface is more-or-less compatible.

I am not sure about the licensing there.  That module is copyrighted,
though GPLv3+.  A merge /may/ require the original author to assign
the copyright.

Still, reusing it would be ideal, which is why I suggest to target
this extension to guile-lib and avoid maintaining two sets of similar
colour->ansi-string type functions.

Seems things gonna be a little complicated.
IMO, the perfect solution is to merge (term ansi-color) into (ice-9
colorized), and we reused the code, and the user can use colored string,
everyone is happy.

But if we need the original author to assign the copyright, I'm not sure
how long will it be. Last time I assigned the copyright took about one
month, since it's long way to send a hand-written assignment to USA.
Or I just request the original author to assign the copyright in the
code?
Which one is right?

On those things, I don't know.

In the mean time do not worry about merging of ansi-color, just adjust
your syntax as discussed and continue to develop in your git repo.  If
it should later become merged then we can remove the duplicates.
Or—again and for the final time—target this work at guile-lib.

I presume that in the long term you would integrate this directly with
the existing pretty-print procedure, rather than, e.g., reimplementing
how to print vectors, arrays, etc..  That makes a lot of sense, and
saves you having to figure out all the details of correctly formatting
an array: just intersperse the colourize code throughout pretty-print.

OK, I'll keep updating it here, in 'upstream' branch:
https://github.com/NalaGinrut/guile-colorized/tree/upstream
The 'upstream' branch won't guarantee an independent module to be used.

I was aimed to patch pretty-print for coloring. But I changed my mind
because an independent module is easy to develop and debug.
Anyway, I think it's nice to integrate it into pretty-print and
inner-debugger in the long term.

BTW, I added custom-color-scheme feature, then the users can define
their own color-scheme in '~/.guile'. As you suggested, they my define
the color for any data-type they like, they can pass their own
type-checker/colorize-method in. 
For a instance:
==========================~/.guile=============================
(use-modules (ice-9 colorized))
(add-color-scheme! 
  `(,(lambda (data) (> data 10000)) 'MY-LONG-NUMBER ,colorize 'BLUE))
=============================end===============================
And 10001 would be rendered as blue one.


Regards.

Yes, I thought as much.  Do keep the eventual integration in mind,
since I'm sure the maintainers are not interested in another
independent logic for printing scheme values :-)

It’s not a requirement, but we should probably try to get in touch with
him (Richard Todd) because he actually has a copyright assignment on
file for Guile.

Nala: Would you like to ask him if he’s OK with having (term ansi-color)
integrated as part of Guile?  In that case, it would fall under FSF
copyright.

Thanks!

I'll ask him later. But I think we just need part of his code, and I
rewrote most of it to be compatible with my implementation. Anyway, I'll
borrow his 'color-string' to give a way for the user to color the string
as they wish.
Since (term ansi-color) code is small one, except for the comment, do we
still need to ask him for integration? IMO, we just borrowed something
interfaces from his code.  

Another question:
I'll try to patch the colorized into 'pretty-print' now, but is it
expected? Or just leave it as a independent module? Which is the proper
way for the maintainer?

Well yes, the color table itself is public data, not even copyrightable
per se.

Instead of patching (ice-9 pretty-print) specifically for your purposes,
perhaps you could instead make it more generally extensible, in a way
that would be useful for your use case but not only?

(I first need to look at the other threads on this topic...)

I think (ice-9 colorized) is enough for colored-REPL purpose, of course,
with Daniel's 'option-REPL-printer' patch. Besides, it'll provide other
methods of coloring for the users.

But the opinion to patch to 'pretty-print' also has a reason: if not,
we'll keep another version of 'list/vector/array' printers. And the
output indent may be different from 'pretty-print'. Some guys may think
it's interesting, but others maybe not.

hmm...

I sent a mail to the author of (term ansi-color), but seems the
emal-address was invalid.
Well, anyway, to the reason mentioned above, I think it's enough.

New implementation works now, I'll have some tests before release.
Suggestions are welcome ;-)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 968 bytes --]

I have the honor to release this patch for colorized-REPL.
For a brief description about (ice-9 colorized) module, I listed them
below:
1. colorized-REPL feature:
Add two lines to your ~/.guile, to enable colorized-REPL feature: 
(use-modules (ice-9 colorized))
(activate-colorized)

2. custom color scheme:
Example:
(add-color-scheme! `((,(lambda (data) 
                        (and (number? data) (> data 10000)))
                        MY-LONG-NUM ,color-it (RED))))
Add it to your ~/.guile or in your code at you wish.
This feature is useful, because sometimes we need to test our program
and output a colorful result for some monitoring purpose.
PS: MY-LONG-NUM is an arbitrary name for your own color scheme, as you
like.

3. colored string/display:
(string-in-color "hello" '(BLUE BOLD))
==>  "\x1b[34;1mhello\x1b[0m"
(display-in-color "hello" '(BLUE BOLD))
* is the same with (display (string-in-color ...)) *

Please review it ASAP, thanks!

Happy Hacking!

Re: [PATCH] Colorized REPL

Hi Nala,

Thanks for your work!

Nala Ginrut <nalaginrut@gmail.com> skribis:

I did that, and actually had to jump into a recursive REPL to see it in
effect.  Would be nice to fix it.

Once in effect, the result is pleasant.  :-)

Nice.

Why is that name even needed?

Below is a rough review.  There are many stylistic issues IMO, such as
the lack of proper docstrings and comments, use of conventions that are
uncommon in Guile (like (define foo (lambda (arg) ...)),
*variable-with-stars*, hanging parentheses, etc.), sometimes weird
indentation, and use of tabs.

Overall it’s essentially a new implementation of write/display, so I’m a
bit concerned about keeping it in sync with the other one.  Could you
add test cases that compare the output of both, for instance using a
helper procedure that dismisses ANSI escapes?

Some other comments:

> +(define-module (ice-9 colorized)
> +  #:use-module (oop goops)
> +  #:use-module ((rnrs) #:select (bytevector->u8-list define-record-type

Would be good to pull neither of these.

Could you use (srfi srfi-9) and (rnrs bytevectors) instead of the
latter?  For GOOPS, see below.

Could you comment this?  I’m not clear on what each field is.

Would it make sense to define a new type for colors?  Like:

  (define-record-type <color>
    (color foreground background attribute)
    color?
    ...)

  (define light-cyan
    (color x y z))

> +(define generate-color
> +  (lambda (colors)

Use filter-map instead.

This is somewhat confusing: I’d expect (color-it str cs), but instead
the string to be printed is embedded in the “color scheme”.

What about non-seekable ports?  Could it be avoided altogether?

It’s complicated, so what?  :-)

The comment should instead mention that arrays get special treatment in
‘pre-print’.

Is that comment necessary here?

> +    (if sign
> +	(display (color-it-inner color sign control) port)  ;; not array

Parentheses should be at the end of the previous line.
End-of-line comments should be introduced with a single semicolon.

Perhaps ‘delimiter?’ would be a better name?

Wow, this is hairy and heavyweight.

Instead of the comment above, add a docstring that says “Write a closing
parenthesis...”.

It’s better to use SRFI-39 parameters (which are in core now).

It’s enough to use ‘struct?’ since objects are structs.  This way you
get rid of the dependency on GOOPS.

Who care about arbiters?  :-)

This one isn’t needed: it’s just the ‘else’ case.

Instead of a list, can you instead define a record for each token color
setting?

  (define-record-type <token-color>
    (token-color name pred color-proc color)
    token-color?
    ...)

  (define %token-colors
    `(,(token-color 'integer integer? color-integer '(blue bold))
      ...))

Using call/cc here is fun but excessively bad-style.  :-)

Try something like:

  (or (any ... (current-custom-colorized))
      (any ... %token-colors)
      (token-color 'unknown (const #t) color-unknown '(white)))

Also, the name is misleading.  Should be called ‘data->token-color’ or
something like that.

No Texinfo escapes in docstrings.

For what it is worth, below is the ECMA-48 standard's
concept of what these values do.  ECMA-48 lists "7"
as reverse, instead of "6".  


0 default
1 bold
2 faint
4 singly underlined
5 slowly blinking
6 rapidly blinking
7 negative image
8 concealed characters
30 black display
31 red display
32 green display
33 yellow display
34 blue display
35 magenta display
36 cyan display
37 white display
40 black background
41 red background
42 green background
43 yellow background
44 blue background
45 magenta background
46 cyan background
47 white background

Of course, each terminal
is different in practice. The only way to be sure you
are getting it right is to go through terminfo.
OTOH, these days when everything behaves almost like
color xterm, maybe parsing terminfo is just being
pedantic.

Thanks,

Mike Gran

It's easy to debug or checkout the color-scheme info with the name.

OK, I added a #:test in 'colorize' and a color-it-test for it.
But I know little about the test case of Guile, anyone point me out?

Actually, I did similar things (though without record-type), but I was
suggested use the *color-list* implementation from (ansi term) from
guile-lib. hmm... ;-)
Anyway, I think that implementation is not so clear, and it mixed
'colors' and 'controls' together...

It's a convenient way to enclose string into 'color-scheme', since the
string could be used later.

But I think the 'port' parameter in 'call-with-output-string' is always
seekable, isn't it? The 'port' here is not a generic port.

Yes, but the aim of colorized-REPL is to show more friendly UI to the
users, it dropped up some efficiency designs.
I do considered a more efficient way to print simpler colorized-array,
but I decide to print it like this finally. I believe a more clear
array-print-result make users hate arrays less, since it's too
complicated in Guile, though we don't have to use it in complicated way
all the time.

Re: [PATCH] Colorized REPL

[Daniel Hartwig]

Hello again

Some comments in addition to Ludo's below.  I have not inspected the
code of your latest submission thoroughly, but enough to agree that
there are many stylistic and algorithmic issues.  I will probably not
be looking in to it any more, and remain a satisfied user of
emacs+geiser.

I still think that this data colourizing or whatever is the domain of
third-party packages, rather than something to include in Guile
proper.


> string-in-color

colorize-string is a much nicer name.

> enable-color-test disable-color-test

These should not be exported.

> colorize

This is the most useful procedure in the module, it should really be exported.


The default colour scheme is far too aggressive and not to my taste at
all.  The focus should be on highlighting the structure (i.e. syntax),
but that is hard to spot when practically every data type has it's own
tweaked colours.  Highlighting is subtle, only a very few conditions
should change the colour: strings and parens are great, but please
leave numbers in whatever the current colour is.

That said, a colour scheme for testing should probably be quite
aggressive, to the point of giving every condition it's own unique set
of attributes.

Also, the “/” in “1/2” appears as a different colour, why?!

Starting one REPL inside another.  The updated activate-colorized only
sets default REPL options and does not take care to update the current
instance if one is already active.  So, if an REPL is already running,
one has to do (activate-colorized) followed by starting a new REPL.

Procedure arguments “data” which should rather be “obj”.

Yes this is quite concerning.  Having less implementations is
certainly preferable to having more.

The current output is broken for some data types:

scheme@(ice-9 colorized)> (colorize-it #f32(0 1 2))
#vu8(0 0 0 0 0 0 128 63 0 0 0 64)
scheme@(ice-9 colorized)> (colorize-it #u8(0 1 2))
#vu8(0 1 2)
scheme@(ice-9 colorized)> (write #u8(0 1 2)) (newline)
#u8(0 1 2)

The chance of subtle problems with other data types is high, both now
and in the future after any current problems are corrected.

>> Could you

You have provided:

> (define color-it-test
>   (lambda (color str control)
>     str))

rather, you want to write a procedure that takes a string with ANSI
code sequences embedded and removes the ANSI codes so that only plain
text remains.  That plain text can then be compared with the output
from write/display.

 (define (remove-ansi-codes str) …)

then use that in the test-cases such as:

 (define (compare-write-and-colorize obj)
   (string= (with-output-to-string
             (lambda () (write obj)))
            (remove-ansi-codes
             (with-output-to-string
              (lambda () (colorize obj))))))

but structure your test cases as per the existing test-suite.

See the existing tests filed under test-suite/tests.

Right, lists are more natural for specifying these sets of attributes,
which could be any combination of foreground, background, and/or
something other.  (ansi term) module sets a very respectable example.

I agree with Ludo, the string and color scheme are not so related.
This design choice adds confusion to the rest of the module.

Regardless, it is poor style to produce something only to subsequently
scrub it out.  Code does this:

+          (for-each (lambda (x) (colorize x port) (space port)) data)
+          (backspace port)  ;; remove the redundant space

when, if “colorize” produced strings, it could do something like this:

 (display (string-join (map colorize data) " ") port)

or, perhaps more efficiently, this:

 (format port "~{~a~^ ~}" (map colorize data))

Disagree.  It is more difficult to read the array tag with all the
colour changes.  Breaking apart elements to this level is extreme,
prone to errors, and poorly maintainable.  All that for a very
questionable gain in “friendly UI”.  Keep things simple, at least
until you have a smooth module without issues.

Also, this colours the vectag (such as “s16” or “u8”) for arrays, but
does not do the same for bytevectors.  This comes across as very
inconsistent, especially with two such values next to each other.
Just leave the array tags in a single colour.

You might want to reread the definition of “any”.

Well, as I mentioned before, not all people use Emacs, and many of them,

I changed these:

display-string-in-color => colorized-display

Colorize an 'obj' is strange, I think 'data' is better.

It's an important correction, I realized that I don't have to handle
bytevector, it's an special array too, and I don't have to import (rnrs
bytevectors), thanks for pointing out it!
I believe the bugs above all fixed now. 
But what's the expected result of "(write #u8(0 1 2)) (newline)"?

Any code contains potential bugs.
I don't think people should use (ice-9 colorize) in their serious
program, it's just a tool for newbies to learn Guile more friendly. Even
'colorize-string', it's the co-product of that, and it just output a
string in color, simple enough to avoid dangerous.

But it's inefficient if I remove ansi-code each time after it's
generated. I prefer output the plain string on the fly with enable test
option.

Nice~I'm in the first way, and added a helper function '->cstr' to

Even if I don't break apart it, it's inefficient too, I have to convert
it to string then output the prefix-part.
As I said, nobody will use it in one's serious program, since it's only
about REPL. Who care about the REPL running speed? Users like a more
friendly REPL UI not a quick REPL since it's useless in a released
program but for test/debug. Except for 'colorized-string', but it's a
simple function which is safe and fast.

I removed bytevectors since it's unnecessary.

I believe there was some fluid referenced by a previous version of

Not strange at all in the context of Scheme where this is a well
established convention.  “obj” literally means “any object”, talking
about Scheme objects (not GOOPS).  “data” is not commonly used and
when it is, typically has a very specific meaning that does not
include “any object”.  To read a procedure definition that uses the
name “obj” I can immediately tell what types of values it expects
(anything!), whereas “data” carries no particular hints at all.

In any Scheme documentation, such as the Guile manual or any Revised*
Report on Scheme, there is almost exclusive use of the name “obj” for
arguments like this.  See the R5RS section “Entry format”.

As I wrote: #u8(0 1 2).  I provided that line to demonstrate that

Regardless of the purpose, if it is shipped as part of Guile then it
will be used.  It's output must be reliable.

Keep in mind that you can not anticipate everything people will do
with code.  It takes on it's own life and you can only smile and watch
it play :-)

Test cases do not have to be efficient, they must prove the real code.
 By replacing the innermost procedure—colorize-the-string—with a
testing variant you are no longer testing the real code, but something
else.

I suppose the original comments were not so clear.  It is not only the
string but other members such as “data” that do not fit the concept of
“colour scheme”.  Anyway, given that it is an internal type there is
not much point to restructuring it all, except for pedantics.

Indeed.  The new loops are certainly an improvement.

Personally I would have avoided call-with-output-string in ->cstr and
other low-level procedures, since now there are several calls in and
out of string ports.  I suppose that is another early design decision
that is not worth the effort to change.

You could inspect the array and generate the tag yourself.  This would
not explode on very large data structures.  But, as you go on to say …

Indeed, with this outlook there is little point to such alternative
treatment, and the easiest thing to do is to rely on the existing
procedures to produce the correct output.

However I will say that an efficient and flexible implementation would
certainly be useful in applications outside of the developers REPL.
Applications display data, and often contain REPL and equivalent. :-)

> Please review it:
> https://github.com/NalaGinrut/guile-colorized/tree/upstream

This:

 (define colorize-the-string
   (lambda (color str control)
     (string-append "\x1b[" (generate-color color) "m" str
       "\x1b[" (generate-color control) "m")))

Why move "\x1b[" and "m" out of generate-color here?  Have that
procedure procedure the /complete/ escape sequence and it is much
neater.

Yes, that's a good point, and the test case could move out of the module

Well, if it's too uncomfortable, maybe it should rename to
"colorize-context". Anyway, I agree with your opinion, it's not so
important for an internal type.

Yes, I could do that but taking other advantage of others functions is
better, and it introduced call-with-outout-string anyway.

Seems it's the only 'suck point' now, I do try to handle the prefix with
Guile's function, but the Array is too complicated (and not the srfi-63
compatible), finally I lost, so I tried a easy solution...
PS: I don't think srfi-63 is matter here, just to say it's a brand new
complicated thing to learn...

If the Array is the only problem, we'd better fix it anyway. I think
there's no other bad thing left, or not?

To get it included with Guile, I believe you will have to separate it.
 With a little work there wouldn't be any use for color-scheme or
whatever anyway.

It is more than the treatment of array.  There are still Ludo's
comments about style and consistency with the rest of Guile's
codebase.  The overall structure leaves something to desire (IMO). …

Anyway, it does what it aims to do.  So that is nice. :-)

See under test-suite/tests/*.test.  There’s a small set of constructs to
express unit tests, such as ‘pass-if’.

Which implementation?  I still think that using a disjoint type for
colors would be better than symbols.  Also, this is something part of
the API, so we can’t just leave it for later discussion.

Surely, but it mixes concerns.  Can you try to make sure ‘color-scheme’

String ports are seekable, right.  However, seeking here seems like a
hack: you could just as well adjust the printer to not write that extra
character instead of writing it and then seeking backwards.  WDYT?

There are still many conventions wrong, such as procedure definitions,
global variable names, missing docstrings, etc.  Could you try to fix
them as well?

When we include features in Guile, we review the /implementation/ of
that feature in the hope that it’ll be reasonably pleasant our eyes.
This particular procedure could surely be made more pleasant to the eye. 
WDYT?

Using disjoint types is beneficial in helping catch programming errors,
and clarify what the objects being worked on are.

Again, this thing is part of the API, so it’s worth thinking it through.
Using a record makes it easier to eventually extend the thing.

So you may consider it necessary.

Sorry, it should be ‘find’, not ‘any’.

(Next time please post the code; this facilitates review.)

It seems it’s improved (thanks!), but I would like to see the API issues
and stylistic problems to be addressed.

> And I'm waiting for any help to write the test-case.

If you have specific questions as you work on it, I’m happy to help.
Otherwise, I won’t offer to write the actual tests.

BTW, before it can be integrated, it will also need to have a section in
the manual, probably under “Using Guile Interactively”.  Could you work
on it?

I reckon I’m asking for some extra work, but I think it’s important to
not compromise on Guile’s current standards.

Thank you!

This is just a small part of a much larger review, but it should be
possible to import (rnrs records syntactic), right? Or maybe even just
(rnrs records) (I don't know much about the R6RS library system).

I see that (rnrs records syntactic) pulls in a bunch of other R6RS stuff,
which perhaps you won't like. But I think there is something wrong with
this idea - the point of having libraries is that we can use them. If we
can't use anything from R6RS because we don't want to pull it in, then why
did we implement it?

I know that supporting other peoples' r6rs programs is also a reason, but I
think that Guile should be able to use the libraries it itself bundles. And
in theory, using RnRS libraries is nice because it promotes portable Scheme
code. (I do agree that R6RS is a sort of weird case, because a lot of it is
different names for features that Guile already has in another form. I'm
not sure if that changes this or not.)

Thanks,
Noah

Yes, but even that pulls a number of other rnrs modules.  It seems to me
that SRFI-9, even if it’s slightly more verbose, would be much less of a
burden here.

I agree in general, yes.  But when the run-time footprint can be reduced
at little cost, it seems nice to do it.

Exactly: the problem I have with R6RS is that it basically re-implements
several SRFIs or APIs otherwise available in Guile, sometimes just for
dubious aesthetic reasons–e.g., SRFI-1, SRFI-9, SRFI-3[45].
Traditionally ice-9 modules have not used them.

(Note that R7RS is likely to make that even worse...)

Yes, I agree with everything you said here. I'm torn, because I think that
in general having more portable Scheme code is good for everyone, and the
RnRS standards are the best way to do that, so maybe we should just accept
that the most recent 1 or 2 standards will always be loaded. But on the
other hand, that doesn't mean that this particular module needs to use them.

I would like to be as optimistic as you are, but hey, R7RS purposefully
ignores or re-implements part of R6RS, which purposefully ignored
several SRFIs and implementations.

Conversely, Guile is a stable standard.  :-)

I presume you intended this to be private to the module.  Exposing
such a type publicly and calling it <color> is just offensive, since
these are ANSI control codes and contain no colour representation. :-)

See guile-libs (term ansi-color) module.

These are arbitrary control codes and can be applied in any
combination.  Essentially, the best you can do with a disjoint type
is:

(define-record-type foo
  (make-foo name code) …

Which you would still need a dictionary to look them up by name, or
export a binding for every code and combination, or provide additional
operators to combine them …

The type you proposed seems to operate at the next level, holding
several codes in pre-defined fields according to their perceived
function (foreground colour, etc.).  Several of those fields will
often be blank, i.e. the case where only “bold” is activated.  These
will have to be later converted to a list to be useful in generating
the escape sequence.

List of symbols is a convenient abstraction over the natural form:
list of control codes.  Embedding this in to a record with named and
function-presuming fields is too much and needlessly complicated, IMO.

List of symbols is also compatible with the interface established by
the earlier guile-lib module, for whatever that is worth.

Using list of symbols:

(colorize-string "foo" '(RED))
(colorize-string "foo" '(BOLD ON-CYAN))

It is not clear to me the interface you are proposed at this level.
Will you provide counter examples to these two calls?

hi Daniel & Ludo!

===========================
** Here are the changes:
1. Use srfi-9 record & fields comment
But I still like r6rs record, since it's less code to write. The only
good point for me is easy to comment each field. ;-P

2. Fix function define convention
I'm not aware of that, but are we going to define a function without
explicit 'lambda'?
Sorry but I didn't find any doc for this convention. I read HACKING
file, but it explains only about C code convention.
Anyway, I fixed it.

3. Rename "data" to "obj"

4. Fixed recursive REPL issue:
I think '(null? (fluid-ref *repl-stack*))' is true if there's no REPL
started, right?

============================
** But suspended issues:
1. Code style issue
I can't find a doc in Guile for that. Could anyone help me out?

2. Array efficient issue
I'd like to fix it, but it's complex & inefficient either anyway.
I've no idea at all. Even if I simply output (object->string array),
it's inefficient as read it's array-prefix-part-string, and parse it.
The best way I think is to use array-rank/array-type... such things to
handle all the prefix-part of array. But as I said, it's too
complicated, the simplest way is the way I choose. 
My vote is to avoid complex design if unnecessary. But we may enhance it
later in the long term, rather than put all hackers' power to focus on a
rarely considered issue now.
What do you think?

3. Test case & manual
Should be done after all issues gone.
 
Anything missing?

Thanks!

In general, using symbols like this amounts to introducing an alternate
name space, with its own rules, and its own support (or lack thereof).
For instance, if you use variables to hold colors, you could write:

  (colorize-string "foo" red)
  (colorize-string "foo" (with-background cyan bold))

And you get unbound variable warnings and errors if there’s a typo, a
type error if you’re passing something unrelated, etc.

That’s why as a rule of thumb I prefer disjoint types and variables for
singleton instances.

Now, there may be cases where this is overkill, or not appropriate for
some reason.  I’m not completely sure about ANSI escapes, so perhaps
you’re right that what I suggest is inappropriate.  Yet, the RED,
ON-CYAN, etc. symbols look ugly to me as an abstraction.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Why are these upper-cased?  Unless there is a reason, lower-case is
better as it is easier to type and read.

Use get-color here; and is the intention to silently ignore unknown
colors?

The name is confusingly like "colorize-string" below.  Better to have a
more descriptive name, or maybe colorize-string-helper.

Well, this issue was discussed several times in this thread.
Originally I used symbol with lowercase for that, and Daniel suggested
me merge (term ansi-color) in guile-lib which is has this style. Then we
found that there're less things could be borrowed from (term
ansi-color), but I was suggested keep this style for some reasons.
Anyway, I don't think this style matters. ;-)

hmm...neglected...

Yes, I think so. It won't break any think, except for redundant
ansi-control string appended.
And for undefined color-scheme for certain object, there's an 'unknown'
color-scheme for that.

Daniel suggest me strip all the escape sequence from the result.
But I have some trouble with the regexp in Guile, seems "\\d+" can't
work, others, like "\\w+" works.
Maybe I should start a new thread about more details usage about regexp
in Guile?

Hello,

i also had this 'problem' and someone suggested to rather use [[:digit:]]+
and friends - [:blank:] [:alpha:] ...

Thanks David!
It's nice to know that,  I thought Guile use PCRE, but I realized it's
posix RE.

Re: [PATCH] Colorized REPL

[Nala Ginrut]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 10788 bytes --]

hi folks!

Please review it.
I'll work on manual for it ASAP.

Thanks!

Maybe we should start moving a few things from guile-lib into Guile proper.

(ansi term-color) may be a candidate. I think that (os process) should be merged in Guile in some form, run-with-pipe has appeared in the lists a few times.

No against for me.
And IIRC, I've expressed my desire for adding (os process). I ever wrote
my own implementation for one project since I didn't find one in Guile.

Yes, this was ACK during one of those discussions.

I believe most of the problem with open-pipe may have been resolved by
changes to the soft port code, i.e. closing of only one end of the
port.

Or, you could use the package manager I keep pimping :)

(os process) might be reasonable, since we are forever complaining about
the popen module, but I don't see why we need (ansi term-color).

Yes indeed, it works quite well.  As does just adding such files to a
site- or user-local module path.

Yes, agree.  It is best to avoid adding some extra fluff (such as ansi
color module, colored output, etc.) to the core when appropriate.
Feature creep and all that is not a big win, makes guile generally
/less/ embeddable, and such.

(ice-9 colorized) has already had the useful part compatible with (ansi
term-color), you may checkout 'upstream' branch. So we don't have to add
(ansi term-color).

@ijp: yeah~what's the status about guildhall? Is there an official
release? And the main site for it?

Re: [PATCH] Colorized REPL

[Nala Ginrut]

hi folks!
guile-colorized upstream updated!
Please review it here:
https://github.com/NalaGinrut/guile-colorized/tree/upstream

Changelog:
* move 'float?' to 'is-inexact?, and 'fraction?' to 'is-exact?' which
predicates number? first. (these two won't be exported)
* unexport all predicates for the type, since we alllow the users define
there color-scheme and type-checker all by themselves.

PS: @Danial repl-default-option-set! works! It's my misuse. :-p

Patches to (ice-9 popen) are welcome :)  Note that the open-pipe
procedure that is available now within the (ice-9 popen) module does not
create a composite port; that might be useful for a hypothetical patch.
