Request: make assert's output better

[leppie]

Hi

Currently, assert gives not much info.

Would it be possible to make the 'who' give a better hint and/or source location?

Cheers

It seems possible. I'll look into it.

From what I can see you could pass #f for the who, as I can then 'determine' a function name based on the current call stack. Source location would be nice :-)

Thanks

Ermm, my bad, that is only for syntax-violation.

Fixed in 1562.

$ cat t.ss
(import (rnrs))
(assert #f)

$ ikarus --r6rs-script t.ss
