Re: [Chicken-hackers] [PATCH] handle EOVERFLOW and ENOTDIR gracefully in file/directory-exists?

[John Cowan]

Christian Kellermann scripsit:

> John, how do other schemes handle this situation?

Racket, Gauche, Gambit, Bigloo, Kawa, SISC, Chibi, Chez, SCM, Larceny,
Ypsilon, Mosh, IronScheme, Scheme 9, Elk, VX return #f.

MIT, scsh, Ikarus throw an exception.

Scheme48, KSi, SigScheme, Scheme 7, UMB, Oaklisp don't provide
file-exists?  or crash in some other way.
