[plt-scheme] Modules and extensions (yes, again)

Hi there,

I posted here last week with question on modules and extensions.
Basically my question was how to use require to load a module which was
created by an extension with a name unknown until runtime. Matthew was
kind enough to point me to the `current-module-name-resolver' parameter.


I tried that with mixed results. This is what I did:

(define (my-resolver path x y)
     (define standard-resolver
       (current-module-name-resolver))

     (if (and (pair? path)
              (eq? (car path) 'library))
         (my-create-module)
         (standard-resolver path x y)))

(current-module-name-resolver my-resolver)

Where my-create-module is part of an extension:

Scheme_Object *myCreateModule (int argc, Scheme_Object **argv)
{
	Scheme_Object *moduleSymbol = 
		  scheme_intern_symbol("my-module");

	Scheme_Env *env = 
         scheme_primitive_module(moduleSymbol,
                                 scheme_get_env(scheme_config));

// add some definitions here
.
.
.
	  scheme_finish_primitive_module(env);
	  return moduleSymbol;
}

The problem with this is that:

(require (library '()))

ends up invoking my-resolver (and myCreateModule) twice (although it
otherwise works as intended).

What I am missing here?

Thanks in advance,
-pp

You'll probably have to change the module-name resolver to recognize
`load-library'. The moudle-name resolver is set through the
`current-module-name-resolver' parameter.
