how to access subr from scm module?

[Viktor Pavlenko]

Hi all,

I have the following situation:

1) a SCM procedure (*my-c-proc*) is defined in C and exported with
   scm_c_define_gsubr;
2) my program loads a SCM module (my-module.scm) by calling
   scm_c_use_module("my-module")
3) this module defines some SCM procedures I want to call from C code
4) these procedures will use *my-c-proc* mentioned in (1)

The problem is that *my-c-proc* is not visible in my-module and
scm_call_N will fail with

    ERROR: Unbound variable: *my-c-proc*

This procedure, however, is accessible from C since
scm_c_eval_string("*my-c-proc*") produces
#<primitive-procedure *my-c-proc*>.

I would prefer making a SCM module of my C procedures but they are
defined in the same code that wants to use them, so

    (define-module (my-c-procedures))
    (load-extension "??" "??")

doesn't seem useful. It would be OK though to load them as global
definitions, and scm_c_define_gsubr is supposed to do so according to
the docs:

     "Create a new subr object named NAME, based on the C function
     FUNCTION, make it visible to Scheme the value of as a global
     variable named NAME"

but that doesn't work for me. So what's the trick to make it work and
make it nice?

Thank you in advance.

Viktor
