But the exception mechanism is much more advanced.
I use scm_internal_catch to convert guile exceptions to C++, and try
{...} catch () { scm_throw(); } in gsubr to convert C++ exceptions to
guile. I call guile and C++ procedures from one another and, since
it's a C++ program that uses guile as extension, have to deal only
with C++ exceptions. A guile script would receive just guile errors.
IMO, error handling mechanism in guile's C API is great, it just needs
some docs and examples.
Re. encouraging people to do more things in Scheme, I agree, but not
by taking away a possibility to do it in C.
Just my opinion.
