Reloading modules with out restarting guile?

Reloading modules with out restarting guile?

[Brett Viren]

Hi,

With out quitting and restarting the guile exectuable, is there a way
to re-load a pure scheme module after its source file has been edited?
This seems to work with a simple file and the "load" function, but not
"use-modules".

What about a module that uses a scheme file that then calls
dynamic-link/dynami-call, can this be reloaded after it has been
modified/recompiled?

Thanks,
-Brett.

Calling load is pretty much the only way, since use-modules won't load
a module that is already loaded.

If you explicitly unload the shared library, this might be possible.
