— Macro: SCM SCM_EOL

The Scheme empty list object, or “End Of List” object, usually written in Scheme as '().

— Macro: SCM SCM_EOF_VAL

The Scheme end-of-file value. It has no standard written representation, for obvious reasons.

— Macro: SCM SCM_UNSPECIFIED

The value returned by expressions which the Scheme standard says return an “unspecified” value.

This is sort of a weirdly literal way to take things, but the standard read-eval-print loop prints nothing when the expression returns this value, so it's not a bad idea to return this when you can't think of anything else helpful.

— Macro: SCM SCM_UNDEFINED

The “undefined” value. Its most important property is that is not equal to any valid Scheme value. This is put to various internal uses by C code interacting with Guile.

For example, when you write a C function that is callable from Scheme and which takes optional arguments, the interpreter passes SCM_UNDEFINED for any arguments you did not receive.

We also use this to mark unbound variables.

— Macro: int SCM_UNBNDP (SCM x)

Return true if x is SCM_UNDEFINED. Apply this to a symbol's value to see if it has a binding as a global variable.
