Scheme Programming Language :: how to run library safely?


	how to run library safely? hi I have a question: how do I run other's people library safely? for example if I use "load" to load a library file, how do I confine the library so that it doesn't rewrite some of my definition. (don't tell me I have to grep through the file and do a intersection of both files.) I mean as soon as I do a "load", some of my own code will be be gone.... thanks math idiot writes: > how do I run other's people library safely? > for example if I use "load" to load a library file, > how do I confine the library so that it doesn't rewrite > some of my definition.

Module are at this point no standard in Scheme, but most "serious" Scheme implementations have some kind of module system. Each module has a separate namespace, so that identifier names do not collide. See the documentation of the Scheme implementation you're using for details. -- Emlio C.
