[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello,

‘%fresh-auto-compile’ is documented as a way to “forcibly invalidate the
auto-compilation cache” (info "(guile) Compilation"), but it seems that
it doesn’t invalidate much.  Specifically, ‘primitive-load-path’ does:

  compiled_thunk = load_thunk_from_path (filename, full_filename, &stat_source,
                                         &found_stale_compiled_file);

  if (scm_is_false (compiled_thunk)
      && scm_is_false (*scm_loc_fresh_auto_compile)
      …)
    { … }

  …

  if (scm_is_true (compiled_thunk))
    return scm_call_0 (compiled_thunk);
  else
    {
      SCM freshly_compiled = scm_try_auto_compile (full_filename);
      …
    }

So if there’s a .go file in the search path, it is *always* loaded, and
there’s no way we reach ‘scm_try_auto_compile’.

‘load-absolute’ in boot-9.scm seems to have the same problem:

  (and scmstat (or (pre-compiled) (fallback)))

I believe the attached patch fixes it.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
