As I understand, Hoot does not support variables that exported, but not defined in module. I dont think that so obvious error is not fixed yet, so may be I dont understand something. Please help how I can fix this error.
I use most recent Hoot commit and guile-goblins from guix.

This error could be fixed on guile’s or hoot’s (ice-9 binary-ports)?

I haven’t seen this particular error before and I’m unsure what action to take based on the details given. What would help me is if you could share a _minimal_ reproducer program that demonstrates the problem. Thanks!

This
```scheme

That’s not a complete program. I’m unsure what you are trying to do. We have successfully compiled several programs that uses Goblins at this point.

I am just noticed this error produced by -g1 flag 🙂

A-ha! Things make more sense now. The `-g` options are not super well supported right now and we haven’t tried to make live hackable Goblins programs with Hoot yet. We have additional work to do to make live hacking work in practice.

I have little question: should I always use `call-with-vat` and pass vat as a parameter, or could I somehow wrap all my game inside vat like this:
```auto
(define a-vat (spawn-vat))
(call-with-vat a-vat
(lambda ()
(init (reverse script))))
```

Because now I get “No current syscaller” error.

I don’t know what would be appropriate for your game, but what I can say is that you need to ensure that anything that is using an actor operator (`$`, `<-`, `spawn`, etc.) _must_ be done from within the context of a vat i.e using `call-with-vat` or the `with-vat` syntax sugar.

Should this code return `(42 . 42)`?
```auto
(define-record-type
(make-foo bar)
foo?
(bar foo-bar))
(match (list (make-foo 42) (make-foo 42))
((($ bar) ($ bar*)) (cons bar bar*)))
```
Currently I catch
```auto
Uncaught exception:

This is even small example:
```auto
(use-modules
(goblins)
(hoot records)
(ice-9 match))
(define-record-type
(make-foo bar)
foo?
(bar foo-bar))
(match (make-foo 42)
(($ bar) bar))
```
Error reproduces only with goblins

This program works for me:
```scheme
(use-modules (srfi srfi-9)
(ice-9 match))
(define-record-type
(make-foo bar)
foo?
(bar foo-bar))
(match (list (make-foo 42) (make-foo 42))
((($ bar) ($ bar*)) (cons bar bar*)))
```
Also, I haven’t had issues matching against records in Goblins programs and Goblins’ own code does this quite a bit.

Please try compile program with `(goblins)` lib imported.
I am using goblins from latest guix commit, not from source. Are you too?

Guile’s SRFI-64 does not yet work with Hoot, unfortunately. Non-declarative modules do not work in general because they aren’t compatible with Hoot’s whole program compilation approach.
