Subject: can't export conditional variable set with 'cond'
Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2024 08:37:41 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAOcxjM7hLZP7jhp+vHy9f+8Yo+UDS5chHyi5q-5OaEFCttxMtQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
Suppose I have the following module "testexport" with the auxiliary module
"env.scm", used to set global environment variables:
-------------testexport.scm begin----------------------------------
(define-module (testexport)
#:use-module (ice-9 pretty-print)
#:use-module (env)
)
(define (main)
(pretty-print (string-append "varA in main: " varA))
(pretty-print (string-append "varB in main: " varB))
(pretty-print (string-append "varC in main: " varC))
)
(main)
-------------testexport.scm end----------------------------------
-------------env.scm begin----------------------------------
(define-module (env)
#:use-module (ice-9 pretty-print)
#:export(varA varB varC))
(define varA "A")
(define varB "")
(define varC "")
(define testval "x")
(cond
((string= testval "x") (set! varB "B"))
((string= testval "y") (set! varB "error"))
((string= testval "z") (set! varB "null"))
)
(pretty-print (string-append "varB post cond: " varB))
(if (string= testval "x") (set! varC "C"))
(pretty-print (string-append "varC post if: " varC))
-------------env.scm end----------------------------------
When I run the above I get as output:
"varB post cond: B"
"varC post if: C"
"varA in main: A"
"varB in main: "
"varC in main: C"
Why can I reset the variables with both 'cond' and 'if' in env.scm, but
only the variable reset with 'if' is exported with the updated value?
Thanks
Mortimer
