[racket] Evaluating code written in non-SEXP language
I'm not sure I understand what you want, but here are some ideas about
evaluating a text that would a module if only a "#lang" line were
added.
To start, here's a function to `require` an input port that contains a
module's source. It uses the current namespace, and it gensyms a name
for the module if you don't provide one. The part that I think is least
obvious is using `current-module-declare-name` to set the name of the
module to that it can be found by `dynamic-require`:
(require syntax/modread)
(define (require-input-port p [name (gensym)])
(define module-name (make-resolved-module-path name))
(parameterize ([current-module-declare-name module-name])
(eval-syntax (check-module-form ; ensures that `module` is bound
(with-module-reading-parameterization
(lambda ()
(read-syntax (object-name p) p)))
'ignored
#f)))
(dynamic-require module-name #f))
The `require-input-port` function assumes that the source starts with
"#lang". You could use `input-port-append`, as others have suggested,
to add a "#lang" line:
(define p (input-port-append #t
(open-input-string "#lang racket/base\n")
(open-input-file "body.rktd")))
(port-count-lines! p)
(require-input-port p)
A problem with `input-port-append` is that line numbers are off by one
for error reporting, and positions are off by the length of the first
line. That's an annoyingly difficult problem to fix, but
`prefix-input-port` below is my attempt (and maybe `input-port-append`
should just work better along similar lines).
(define p (prefix-input-port #"#lang racket/base\n"
(open-input-file "body.rktd")))
(port-count-lines! p)
(require-input-port p)

;; Directs position requests to the given port after the

;; Closes the given input port when the result port is closed.
(define (prefix-input-port prefix base-p)
(define-values (prefix-i prefix-o) (make-pipe))
(write-bytes prefix prefix-o)
(close-output-port prefix-o)
(define (prefix-done?)

n))

(if (equal? n 0)
(wrap-evt base-p (lambda (v) 0))
n))
;; close

(close-input-port base-p))
