Hi,

as I'm making a fool of myself in these lists anyway, I might
well pose a question which nagged me for a while:

Is there any particular reason (besides of higher symmetry)
you have to invoke a script as ``guile -s <script name>''
instead of just ``guile <script name>''?

Note that the second form is not only convenient on the
command line but also simplifies your trustworthy hash-bang
line. As far as I know, unadorned arguments are not yet
used in guile, so this would be a backward-compatible
embellishment/enuglyment.

Opinions?

Regards

-- tomas

What about things like:

  guile -s foo.scm arg-to-foo another-arg-to-foo

or

  guile -e main -s foo.scm arg-to-foo another-arg-to-foo

guile foo.scm arg-to-foo another-arg-to-foo
guile -e main foo.scm arg-to-foo another-arg-to-foo

Such command lines are erroneous now, so it doesn't break anything to
make them mean the same as the -s versions (unless a different meaning
is already planned for the future).

Indeed.  Guile's current behaviour is to stop parsing args itself when
it sees `-s sthg', so that the remaining args are left for the
script.  We could easily make it do the same when it sees `sthg' where
sthg is not a known option.

Why do you say they are erroneous?  They look fine to me.

$ guile foo.scm arg-to-foo another-arg-to-foo
guile: Unrecognized switch `foo.scm'
[...]

I.e., guile treats this kind of command line as an error.

One might argue that someone invoking "guile foo" might have intended
"guile -- foo" instead of "guile -s foo", so "guile foo" is a bit
error-prone.  It's less likely that someone would accidentally supply
an explicit -s when they meant --.

Hmmm. First non-option argument would be the script name,
the rest is passed to it (the script) as arguments (that'd
mean that you must pass guile-specific switches *before*
the first non-option argument. This would again match the
two BigPee's behaviour, whether this be considered a Good
Thing or not ;)

> or

Both BigPee's know a switch like that for an expression to be
evaluated. Perl (-e) takes several of them and a script on top
of that, Python just one (-c) and terminates options processing
(matching the more cautious nature of Pythoners in general ;^)

I think guile's -e is special in that it is `out of order',
first loading the script and then calling the function passed
as argument; so the more exact correspondend to Perl's -e and
Python's -c would be guile's -c -- but that wouldn't change
the `syntax' of the command line.

Thanks

Sounds good to me (if there isn't some technical reason why we need
the -s).

I don't know of any.  Allowing "guile <script name>" seems very
natural and rhymes with Perl, Python, Sh, and probably others.

There don't seem to be real objections, so: do you have a patch? :-)

Of what use is "guile -- foo"?  It will start the repl with 

    guile> (command-line)
    ("guile" "foo")

Is that useful?

Not very, I imagine.  I'm not opposed to making -s optional; I was
just speculating as to why it wasn't already.

:-) Hehe, sometimes, too often, I just use words and phrases where I
don't really know what they mean and make a mental note to check them
before sending the mail.  I don't do the checking, of course.

Do you really say "syphon"?  Or is it "pithon"?  To my foreign ears,
siphon and python don't sound the same... :-) (Ahh, I just checked, it
really is "syphon".  We say "siffon".)

But I did _spell_ "rhyme" right!

Rhymes?  Only if <script name> is "curl" or "siphon" (and even then

Perhaps you meant chimes?

With apologies for the irrelevant nature of this post ... :-)

Ok, I thought of another possible problem.  Suppose a program wants to
invoke guile to process a script.  If -s is required, then the program
will use it.  If -s is optional, the programmer will be tempted to use
the plain "guile $script_name" form, which will be buggy if
script_name can start with "-".  Also consider code that parses a
guile command line - say, a wrapper around guile.  That code will also
have to be updated to accomodate making -s optional.

As it is, we can know what each argument is (i.e., a switch, a script
name, or a script argument) without looking at the contents of the
argument; we only need to look at the preceding arguments.  I think
that's valuable.

Yes, that's a good argument in favor of using "-s".  The documentation
of the option-less way of running a script should definitely talk
about this.

Granted--but the same problem exists with everyone else.  No sense
being gratuitously incompatible.  And of course the wise programmer
would write "guile -- $script_name" (or whatever).

When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say
to its subjects, `This you may not read, this you must not see, this
you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression,
no matter how holy the motives.  Mighty little force is needed to
control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount
of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free.  No, not the
rack, not fission bombs, not anything.  You can't conquer a free man;
the most you can do is kill him.               --Robert A.  Heinlein

And it'll let me use "#!/usr/bin/env guile" at the top of my scripts :)

You can already get the same effect with even more flexibility; see
the end of the "Executable Modules" node in the manual.

Right, but I don't think adding to the problem is useful.

It's not an incompatibility; it's a dissimilarity.  No help being
gratuitously similar.  The current behavior of requiring -s breaks
nothing; it's merely unexpected by people accustomed to sloppier
interfaces of other interpreters.

Only if they didn't want to run the script.

Well, the second syllable's vowel is a schwa--which means it can run
the gamut of sounds, just about.  I say it with something between i &
u.

Marmite is a black tarry yeast extract used to encourage New Zealand children
to grow large and strong.  The usual method is to feed it to them on toast,
resulting in them growing very quickly, so that they might become big and
strong enough to stop their parents from doing this.      --Rupert Boleyn

Hi.
If you want to call Scheme scripts more portably, you should probably use
SRFI-22 (but guile does not support this SRFI, yet?):

I don't think it does; srfi-22 is incompatible with the existing
(and more useful, I think) interpretation of #! borrowed from scsh.
Well, almost.  Guile could decide to use the srfi-22 interpretation
when the first argument is a script name, and keep the current
behavior otherwise.  But that would be awfully ugly.  If srfi-22 is to
be supported, I'd suggest instead providing a separate guile-srfi-22
executable which accepts a script name as the first argument without
-s, and which interprets #! as a comment ending at the next newline.

This isn't the best thread to say this in, but ...

In general, I think we should _not_ jump to implement every SRFI that
gets through the process.  Unfortunately, IMO, the level of review in
that process is not always top quality, and it is too easy for
anything to get through if the author just pushes enough.

In particular, as regards SRFI-22, I think it is regrettable that

- the SRFI has no consideration for non-Unix-like systems

- Guile's existing usage of #! is ignored.

Makes sense, though if we can do it in a way that isn't hard and
doesn't break things on our side just to be compatible, then providing
compatibility in some form probably wouldn't bother me.  That's why in
this case I was leaning toward the separate name (if we did anything).

I do agree, though, that we shouldn't feel compelled to implement
every SRFI, and perhaps that applies for this one -- I'll have to go
look at it again -- all I recal ATM is that from the previous
discussion, a separate executable seemed preferable to trying to
integrate its requirements with our current command line and #!
practices.
