I'm looking at this as the Guix Data Service uses this behaviour to record and
display logs from inferior processes.
* guix/inferior.scm (open-bidirectional-pipe): Call dup2 for file descriptor
2, passing either the file number for the current error port, or a file
descriptor for /dev/null.
* tests/inferior.scm ("#:error-port stderr", "#:error-port pipe"): Add two new
tests that cover some of the #:error-port behaviour.
I'm looking at this to help with adding support for looking up package
replacements to store in the Guix Data Service.
* guix/inferior.scm (inferior-package-replacement): New procedure.
* tests/inferior.scm ("inferior-package-replacement"): New test.
The 'stack' variable could be #f when code is interpreted, which in
practice happens when running in "legacy" mode--i.e., when
'open-inferior' invokes "guile" instead of "guix repl".
* guix/repl.scm (send-repl-response)[handle-exception]: Check whether
STACK is true before passing it to 'stack->frames'.
* tests/inferior.scm ("&inferior-exception, legacy mode"): New test.
* guix/inferior.scm (port->inferior): Bump protocol to (0 1 1).
(&inferior-exception)[stack]: New field.
(read-repl-response): Recognize 'exception' form for protocol (0 1 1).
* tests/inferior.scm ("&inferior-exception"): Check the value returned
by 'inferior-exception-stack'.
This avoids ambiguities when looking at a backtrace where the exception
was actually thrown by an inferior in a very different context.
* guix/inferior.scm (&inferior-exception): New condition type.
(read-repl-response): Add optional 'inferior' parameter. Raise
'&inferior-exception' instead of rethrowing to KEY when receiving an
'exception' message.
(read-inferior-response): Pass INFERIOR to 'read-repl-response'.
* tests/inferior.scm ("&inferior-exception"): New test.
Until now '&store-protocol-error' conditions raised in the inferior
would not be correctly propagated because SRFI-35 records lack a read
syntax.

by Carl Dong <contact@carldong.me>.
* guix/inferior.scm (port->inferior): Import (srfi srfi-34) in the inferior.
(inferior-eval-with-store): Define 'error?' and 'error-message'. Wrap
call to PROC in 'guard'. Check the response of INFERIOR for a
'store-protocol-error' or a 'result' tag.
* tests/inferior.scm ("inferior-eval-with-store, &store-protocol-error"):
New test.
* guix/inferior.scm (inferior-eval-with-store): New procedure, with code
formerly in 'inferior-package-derivation'.
(inferior-package-derivation): Rewrite in terms of
'inferior-eval-with-store'.
* tests/inferior.scm ("inferior-eval-with-store"): New test.
* guix/profiles.scm (packages->manifest)[inferiors-loaded?]: New
variable.
[inferior->entry]: New procedure.
Accept inferior packages when INFERIORS-LOADED? is true.
* tests/guix-package.sh: Add test using a manifest with an inferior.
* tests/inferior.scm ("packages->manifest"): New test.
* guix/inferior.scm (inferior-package->manifest-entry): New procedure.
* tests/inferior.scm (manifest-entry->list): New procedure.
("inferior-package->manifest-entry"): New test.
* guix/inferior.scm (<inferior>)[packages, table]: New fields.
(open-inferior): Initialize these new fields.
(inferior-packages): Rename to...
(%inferior-packages): ... this.
(inferior-packages): New procedure; force the promise.
(%inferior-package-table, lookup-inferior-packages): New procedures.
* tests/inferior.scm ("lookup-inferior-packages")
("lookup-inferior-packages and eq?-ness"): New tests.
* guix/inferior.scm (read-inferior-response)
(send-inferior-request): New procedures.
(inferior-eval): Rewrite in terms of these.
(proxy, inferior-package-derivation, inferior-package->derivation)
(package-compiler): New procedures.
* tests/inferior.scm ("inferior-package-derivation"): New test.
