Order of definitions in REPL

[hyln9]

Definitions that call functions defined later in the file don't seem to be handled as I would expect when loaded at the REPL. When run as a script, they work as I expect. For example:

jnear@sandstone r6mk $ cat test.scm

!/usr/bin/env scheme-script

(import (rnrs))

(define foo
(lambda ()
(bar)))

(define bar
(lambda ()
(display "bar!")
(newline)))

(foo)
jnear@sandstone r6mk $ ikarus --r6rs-script test.scm
bar!
jnear@sandstone r6mk $ ikarus test.scm

You can always just start the REPL and call (load "test.scm") (or (include "test.scm")).

I noticed this yesterday and was going to report it, but you raced me to it. Thanks.

How exactly does it work? It starts the REPL and then do a load/include on the filename(s) passed as parameters? How do you pass additional parameters/files?

Fixed in 1478. Let me know if that messed up something else.

When you start "ikarus file1 file2 file3 ...", the contents of the
files will be evaled one by one before the repl prompt comes up.

Thanks :)

So it is effectively:

ikarus

(include file1)
(include file2)
(include file3)
...
; this is where we end

?
