Hello, I noticed that ‘add-to-load-path’ adds a path 2 times when it is
called in Guile REPL.
taylanub from #guile explained that it may happen because in the REPL
the compilation and execution happen in the same session and
“‘add-to-load-path’ takes care of modifying the path both at
compile-time and at run-time.” (from manual).
Here is the session for illustrating the bug (if it's a bug) :
$ guile

scheme@(guile-user)> %load-path
$1 = ( "/usr/share/guile/2.0" "/usr/share/guile/site/2.0"
"/usr/share/guile/site" "/usr/share/guile")
scheme@(guile-user)> (add-to-load-path "foo")
scheme@(guile-user)> %load-path
$2 = ("foo" "foo" "/usr/share/guile/2.0" "/usr/share/guile/site/2.0"
"/usr/share/guile/site" "/usr/share/guile")
scheme@(guile-user)> ,q
Also I have a question: Why there is no ‘add-to-load-compiled-path’? I
think such function may also be useful.
Thanks,
Alex
