[dev-serveez] problem with module system in guile 1.6.x and post versions

[stefan]

Hello Kevin!

Can you help me out with some knowledge on the new module system in Guile
1.6.x and post versions.  The issue is related to the GNU Serveez package
which I am maintaining.

The problem occurs to be:

 1. I have some symbols exported via scm_c_define_gsubr().  These I can
    use at top level, e.g. (serveez-version).
 2. The I have a 'test-suite.scm' file using

(define-module (test-suite))

(define (test)
 ...
 (serveez-version)
 ...
)

(export test)

 3. Then I use a 'binary-test.scm' where I

(use-modules (test-suite))
...
(test)

    This runs the (test) function which has been exported by the
    test-suite module... and fails using (serveez-version) be marked as
    'unbound-variable'.

This worked with Guile 1.4 versions.  Ok - I thought - play around with
the new module functions.  In the 'test-suite.scm' file added a procedure:

;; FIXME: Does this code import the public symbols of the guile-user
;; module into the current module?
(define (resolve-serveez-api)
  (module-for-each
   (lambda (symbol variable)
     (module-add! %module-public-interface symbol variable))
   (resolve-module '(guile-user))))

In fact I do get all of the api defined by scm_c_define_gsubr() but they
still not availabe in the test-suite module.

Can you please help us with that?

Thanks in advance,
