It is an error

Here's a list of places where R7RS-small says something "is an error". The names in brackets represent a rough-and-ready classification of these errors, and don't constitute a proposal. The list is [domain], [mismatch], [syntax], [read], [immutable], [undefined], [non-continuable].

  1. 3.2 procedure domain errors [domain]
  1. 3.2 too many or too few arguments [mismatch]
  1. 3.3. reuse of auxiliary syntax [syntax]
  1. 3.3. violation of start-end constraints [domain]
  1. 4 non-numeric datum labels [read]
  1. 4 forward references in datum labels [read]
  1. 4 recursion in datum labels [read]
  1. 4 circular code [syntax]
  1. 4 violations of immutability [immutable]
  1. 1.1 references to undefined variables [undefined]
  1. 1.3 () as code [syntax]
  1. 1.4. repeated variables in lambda lists [syntax]
  1. 1.6 set! of unbound variable [undefined]
  1. 2.1 => in cond or case doesn't accept one argument [domain]
  1. 2.1 duplicated case keys [syntax]
  1. 2.2 repeated variables in let, letrec, let-values, let-values* lists or equivalent internal variable definitions [syntax]
  1. 2.2 direct recursion in letrec or letrec* or equivalent internal variable definitions [syntax]

  1. 2.4 repeated variables in do [syntax]
  1. 2.6 non-parameter in parameterize [domain]
  1. 2.8 unquote-splicing of a non-list [domain]
  1. 2.9 uncaught case in case-lambda [mismatch]
  1. 3.1 repeated keywords in let-syntax [syntax]
  1. 3.2 non-identifiers in syntax-rules [syntax]
  1. 3.2 repeated pattern variable in syntax-rules [syntax]
  1. 3.2 unhandled syntax in syntax-rules [syntax]
  1. 3.2 unreconstructible syntax-rules output [syntax]
  1. 2 unknown identifiers in only, except, rename import specs [syntax]
  1. 2 importing an identifier more than once with different bindings [syntax]

Implementation restrictions

And here's a list of places where R7RS-small speaks of implementation restrictions:

  1. 3.2 out of memory
  1. 3.2 overly large exact number
  1. 2.2 incomplete numeric tower
  1. 2.2 cannot produce exact result of arithmetic operation
  1. 2.6 max or min needs to report an inexact number but cannot
  1. 2.6 inexact or exact conversion can't represent result
