Can `make tags' generate tags for Scheme source, as well as C?

Can `make tags' generate tags for Scheme source, as well as C?

I think this got lost when the toplevel "module" directory was
introduced.  The attached patch restores it; OK to commit?

Thanks,

BTW, ‘M-.’ in Geiser works really great, if you haven’t tried yet.  And
it works across all the modules currently loaded, not just those of the
current project.

I think I must be missing something: for me it always says "Couldn't
find edit location for X" in the echo area.

(I like lots of other things in Geiser, though.)

Make sure to compile the source file with C-c C-k first.  And before
that, make sure to have a suitable ‘geiser-guile-load-path’.

Does C-c d RET in a Scheme buffer work for you?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Could you send (or paste somewhere) a file where that's happening? Does
it also happen for, say, identifiers in any of the geiser (guile) scheme
files (they're all loaded once you start using geiser)? The only cases
where you'd get that error should be a) for procedures defined in C or
b) for procedures in modules not yet loaded. But that's not "always" :)

Thanks!

OK, I wasn't doing that.

What would be the right value, for a top level script file?  (i.e. one
with no define-module form)

> Does C-c d RET in a Scheme buffer work for you?

No, but C-c C-d RET does.  I guess that's what you meant.

Thanks,

I'm sorry, I think I was being a bit stupid - expecting that it would
work even before starting a REPL.

It works as you say for Geiser's own code, and for my own modules once
I've compiled them.

Thanks,
        Neil

Is this a bad expectation? It is the first impression.

If your source code is loaded it is autocompiled and you should find the
edit locations, but if they is not loaded, are the module headers enough
to autoload the needed pieces?

Expecting anything to work in Geiser before starting (or connecting to)
a REPL is a bad expectation, yes :) I guess you mean symbol locations
not being available until you compile the module?

If the module is not loaded (or compiled), Geiser provides information
for those symbols visible in the REPL's current namespace. I don't think
it's a good a idea to load modules behind the user's back. It could in
principle provide info for those symbols in modules in the import list
that are already loaded, but i'm not sure the amount of work that
entails is worth it :)

Could it ask to start a new Guile or connect to a Guile?

Could it ask? :-)

Every time you try a geiser command without an active REPL, there's an
error message in the echo area saying

"No Geiser REPL for this buffer (try M-x run-geiser)"

If that message wasn't displayed in Neil's case, that's a bug.

It could, but it's a lot of work :-) It can also be annoying to keep
answering questions: i'd need to keep track of whether i've already
asked, options would be needed to deactivate the behaviour, to make
auto-loading the default... more work... I think i'd need one or two
more users feeling the need for this feature (i don't) :-).

Yes, I get this at times. But why tell me what to do? Why not do it for
me, with my permission? A single keypress keeps you in flow.

Because perhaps you don't want to do it, and keep asking would be
annoying. So it'd have to remember not to ask again, and then, if after
10 warnings you decide you want to do it, you'll have to do it anyway.
But if you're sure you don't want it, perhaps you'll want to deactivate
the warnings... and that's all state that is associated with buffers and
will have to be inherited for buffers visiting the same file, or perhaps
not (let's put there another option); and then the state will get stale
and newbies will get confused, and have to read the manual two or three
times to understand all the available options.

Typing 'M-x run-geiser' (or binding that to a function key) once before
you start hacking scheme keeps you in flow for the rest of your emacs
instance life much more simply... :)
