bug#64508: Optimization of "-" function is incorrect in presence of GOOPS overloading

[Jean Abou Samra]

The following code demonstrates that when byte-compiling (but not when
interpreting), the call (- x) is transformed into (- 0 x). This results
in failure of custom - methods defined via GOOPS.

I think this says it all:


$ guile3.0
GNU Guile 3.0.7 [...]
scheme@(guile-user)> ,optimize (- x)
$1 = (- 0 x)


The longer version:


$ cat minus.scm 
(use-modules (oop goops))

(define-class <Foo> ()
  (bar #:init-keyword #:bar))

(define-method (- (x <Foo>))
  (make <Foo> #:bar (- (slot-ref x 'bar))))

(display (slot-ref (- (make <Foo> #:bar 5))
                   'bar))
(newline)



$ guile3.0 --no-auto-compile minus.scm 
-5


$ guile3.0 minus.scm 
;;; note: auto-compilation is enabled, set GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0
;;;       or pass the --no-auto-compile argument to disable.
