Guile 2 deprecated procedure and SLIB

Guile 2 deprecated procedure and SLIB

[Andrew Bernard]

Greetings,

In the latest top CVS of SLIB (as of Feb 2013), with Guile 2.0.7, the 
procedure used in the common lisp time section decode-universal-time use 
the deprecated procedure list->uniform-array.

I am new to Scheme, and not sure how to handle this. Not wanting to 
enable the use of deprecated procedures, how does one proceed?

Is there an active SLIB mailing list for discussion?

Andrew

Perhaps Mikael would like to patch this one up? :-)

Deprecated procedures are enabled by default; you'd have to do something
special to disable them.  For now I would just deal with it or file a
patch with SLIB to replace this function.

Here is fine.  Also there is a list:
https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/slib-discuss.  Aubrey is fairly
responsive.

Cheers,

Sorry... I do not feel any responsibility for the current slib
interface and I don't know the common lisp time section of slib.

The reason why I wanted to have a go with it previously was because I
needed it operational as a user.

I think my guile-time is better used on guile-scmutils right now.

Best regards,
Mikael D.

Unfortunately, 'list->uniform-array' is not merely deprecated; it has
been removed entirely from Guile 2.0.

Apologies for presuming.  I thought you mentioned you wanted to do
something about the guile, slib, and uniform arrays; the use of
list->uniform-array is there.  My mistake!

Cheers,

No, you're right.  I looked back at the thread and I clearly had the
intention to do something about the uniform arrays.  I had forgotten
this! :-)

As I explained previously, I had intended to do this when I had some
time around Christmas.  Now I don't have time. :(

So, while I'll keep it in mind and have a go at it when the moment
comes, I wouldn't recommend anyone to rely on this.

I guess the support for the new arrays should go into the guil.init
file in slib, right?

Anyway, I *am* doing some work-related stuff in scmutils and can work on that.

Best regards,
Mikael D.

Ah, you are correct.  Deprecated around 2005-01-10 by Marius, and
removed by me in 2009 with 86d88a223c64276e7cd9b4503e7e2ecca5aae320.

NEWS says that list->typed-array is the thing to use instead.
