probably endless loop printing result of expansion

[marcomaggi]

It happens to me that when I recompile my libraries mosh prints what
appears to be the result of a file expansion (a long S-expression).
Have you included a print statement in an attempt to debug a known
problem? Notice that it does not happen when I compile starting from
an empty "~/.mosh", rather it happens only when, after having modified
a file, I recompile using a "compile all" script.

I have to do more investigations to find the cause of this, it seems
that it happens only with a "complicated" hierarchy of libraries.

Hi.

I've not seen the problem.
You are the one of heavy mosh users.
If you find some clue, please let me know.

Cheers.

It seems the S-exp is printed by:

(when verbose?
(format (current-error-port)
"WARNING: library ~s has an inconsistent dependency \
on library ~s; file ~s will be recompiled from \
source. l=~a label=~a (library-id l)=~a\n"
name dname filename l label (library-id l)))

in "/boot/runtimes/psyntax-mosh/psyntax/library-manager.ss"
or some library derived from that. The S-exp is written
only when I use the "--verbose" command line argument; maybe
setting that "verbose?" variable to true is too much when
"--verbose" is used: it is unlikely that a human can do
something with the S-exp dump.

Also, from eye analysis of the output, it may be that
sometimes FORMAT enters an infinite loop while printing one
of the arguments.

Hi.

Thank you for your information.

Changed and committed verbose mode to use shared structure aware
output format using ~e.
Would you try in on master?

Cheers.

Thanks I do not see the endless loop anymore, but is it useful to
print the full S-expression? For the "--verbose" option it should be
enough to print the "library will be recompiled" message; the S-
expression dump belongs to a debug mode. I compile with "--verbose"
with the purpose of seeing at which point an error shows up, but if
the screen is full of S-expressions (several screens on my xterms) I
cannot follow what happens anymore.

Sounds reasonable.
I don't remeber the reason why S-exp to be printed.
Fixed on master head.
