Hi, I posted the following thing on `comp.lang.scheme' but got no answer.
SRFI-9 apparently does not specify the behavior of `equal?' with record instances. Consider the following example: (define-record-type <chbouib> (make-chbouib obj) chbouib? (obj chbouib:obj chbouib:set-obj!)) (equal? (make-chbouib 1) (make-chbouib 1)) According to R5RS, if the two `chbouib' instances print equally, they should be `equal?'. On Chicken, the two instances do print equally and Chicken considers them `equal?'. On Guile, the two instances print equally but are _not_ considered `equal?'. To me, it looks like having `equal?' behave "as one may expect" (i.e., as in the Chicken case) would be very valuable and look more consistent wrt. R5RS --- although, admittedly, relying on it would be Bad. What do you think? Thanks, Ludovic. _______________________________________________ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user
