Hi! While reading a bit about "doctest" (the Python utility), I thought it would be relatively easy to support embedded documentation in definitions, like:
(define (foo ...) '(test (...)) <body>...) The basic idea is to extend the idea of Lisp/Scheme docstrings (a string as the first form inside a procedure, when the body has more than one expression) to doc-sexprs. So one could embed test-cases directly in the code, in a backwards- and R5RS-compatible way. It's no big deal to extend the compiler to extract this info. What I'm looking for is ideas about the exact mechanism, the syntax, etc. Pointless or useful? cheers, felix _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
