Re: [Gauche-devel] typo for Scm_EvalRecCString in 0.8.8 gauche.h?

[Shiro K. <sh...@la...>]

Actually the typo is in vm.c.  I intended Scm_EvalCStringRec.

For the time being, please use EvalRec + ReadFromCString instead.

  Scm_EvalRec(Scm_ReadFromCString(expr), env)

Probably I'll make Scm_EvalCStringRec a macro that expands
into above.

BTW, the intention of this name change is to have error-safe
Scm_Eval etc.  With the legacy Scm_Eval etc., it was application's
responsibility to catch errors that occurred in the Scheme world,
but there was no convenient way to do so.  It was also awkward
when the evaluation yields multiple values (you could only take
the first value, and needed extra API to retrieve other values).

The planned new API takes an extra argument, a pointer to a
structure to which the result(s) and the error information.
