How to get better stack trace from a script executed via shebang?

How to get better stack trace from a script executed via shebang?

Hello,

I'm having a problem of getting borderline useless stack traces from a script
executed via a shebang. For example, let's consider following script:

    $ cat /tmp/x.scm 
    #!/bin/sh
    exec guile --no-auto-compile -e main -s "$0" "$@"
    !#
    
    (define (main args)
      (foo))
    
    (define (foo)
      (bar))
    
    (define (bar)
      (error "x"))

When I execute it directly, the error message is not great:

    $ /tmp/x.scm
    Backtrace:
    In ice-9/boot-9.scm:
      1752:10  4 (with-exception-handler _ _ #:unwind? _ #:unwind-for-type _)
    In unknown file:
               3 (apply-smob/0 #<thunk 7fdb1e7a2340>)
    In ice-9/boot-9.scm:
        724:2  2 (call-with-prompt ("prompt") #<procedure 7fdb1e7b2c80 at ice-9/eval.scm:330:13 ()> #<procedure default-prompt-handler (k proc)>)
    In ice-9/eval.scm:
        619:8  1 (_ #(#(#<directory (guile-user) 7fdb1e7a5c80>)))
    In ice-9/boot-9.scm:
       2007:7  0 (error _ . _)
    
    ice-9/boot-9.scm:2007:7: In procedure error:
    x

The /tmp/x.scm file is not even mentioned once in the output. Can this be
somehow (command line arguments, changing the exec line, ...) improved?
Currently it's not very useful when I need to find out what the problem was.

Thank you,
W.

salve. Ho letto il vostro messaggio.
Purtroppo non capisco quale sia il problema.
Provi a sentire la community. Ho installato dal sito FSF.org il guile 3.0.9

This is a known issue for code that is evaluated, as opposed
to being compiled. Consider leaving out --no-auto-compile.

Best,
Jean

Oh, I was not aware of that. You suggestion does indeed make it better, thank
you.

    ;;; note: source file /mnt/shared/system/./run
    ;;;       newer than compiled /root/.cache/guile/ccache/3.0-LE-8-4.6/mnt/shared/system/run.go
    ;;; note: auto-compilation is enabled, set GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0
    ;;;       or pass the --no-auto-compile argument to disable.
    ;;; compiling /mnt/shared/system/./run
    ;;; compiled /root/.cache/guile/ccache/3.0-LE-8-4.6/mnt/shared/system/run.go

Now there is this output that as far as I know cannot be suppressed (that was
the reason for --no-auto-compile), but that seems like lesser of two evils
here.

So, thanks :)

Sorry, I don't speak Italian(?), so I have no idea what this message says.
