• Final SRFI 238: Codesets

    From Arthur A. Gleckler@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jan 16 21:35:53 2023
    Scheme Request for Implementation 238,
    "Codesets",
    by Lassi Kortela,
    has gone into final status.

    The document and an archive of the discussion are available at <https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-238/>.

    Here's the abstract:

    Many programming interfaces rely on a set of condition codes where
    each code has a numeric ID, a mnemonic symbol, and a human-readable
    message. This SRFI defines a facility to translate between numbers
    and symbols in a codeset and to fetch messages by code. Examples are
    given using the Unix errno and signal codesets.

    Here is the commit summary since the most recent draft:

    - Lassi said that there wasn't anyone to call out.
    - Fix typo.
    - Patch up sample implementation
    - Finalize.

    Here are the diffs since the most recent draft:

    Many thanks to Lassi and to everyone who contributed to the discussion of this SRFI.

    Regards,
