The stack of load procedures is...
primitive-load, defined in load.c
`load' defined in r4rs.scm, which boot-9.scm then renames as
`basic-load'. This is presumably intended to be an R4RS-compliant
load; its implementation builds on primitive-load by setting a hook
which can announce the file being loaded, and by starting a new stack
(start-stack).
`load-module' defined in boot-9.scm. This builds on basic-load by
adding
- save-module-excursion, so that loading a module doesn't change the
loader's current module
- the ability to load files with relative path names.
Finally boot-9 does (define load load-module), so `load' ends up being
what I just described as load-module.
So one possibility for adding custom reader support to all this is...
- Don't put any current-reader framing code in primitive-load. In
other words, don't reset current-reader to #f (or anything else) at
the start of primitive-load, and don't use framing to restore the
value of the current-reader at the end if the loaded code has
changed it. This means that primitive-load keeps its existing
primitiveness - i.e. it isn't much more than just a read eval loop.
- Add an optional reader arg to both r4rs's load and boot-9's
load-module, and treat as #f if not specified. In r4rs load, do
(with-fluids ((the-reader reader)) ...) around the existing code. In
load-module, just pass the reader through to basic-load.
This would preserve existing behaviour for any calls to load or
use-modules, which are the mainline cases, even when the caller has
installed a non-default reader, but it also allows developers to
achieve different behaviour when they want it by using primitive-load
and the optional reader arg to load.
This can also be seen as analogous to how primitive-eval allows
(current-module) to change, but eval doesn't.
Regards,
Neil
