On the irc channel I was suggested that it might have been a good fit for my use case
I took a look at it in the manual I'm perplexed. I don't understand it How is it supposed to be used ? The provided example is somewhat contrived, I couldn't understand it anyway. My use case is basic, really. I have a scheme wrap around a C library for reading xls files, freexl. Freexl uses a pointer to a structure tha represents the opened xls file and its contents Each function writes/reads in the memory region pointed to such pointer. In the end, it requires to use a function that closes the file AND frees all the involved structures in memory. So my idea was that I would have gotten a simple macro, like this (with-xls-file "path/to/my/xls-file.xls" handler-ptr (do-something handler-ptr) (do-something-more handler-ptr)) and this would have expanded to (freexl-open "path/to/my/xls-file.xls" handler-ptr) (freexl-do-something handler-ptr) (freexl-do-something-more handler-ptr)) (freexl-close handler-ptr) Do I need dynamic-wind at all ?
