moremacros

Documentation

Various useful forms.

moremacros

Usage

 
(require-extension moremacros)

str#

[syntax] (str# STRING)

Allows substitution of embedded Scheme expressions prefixed with # and optionally enclosed in curly brackets. Two consecutive #s are translated to a single #.

Similar to the #<# multi-line string.

type-case

[syntax] (type-case EXPRESSION [(TYPE-CASE BODY ...) ...]))

Expands into a form that selects a TYPE-CASE based on the type of the EXPRESSION.

A TYPE-CASE is:

symbol
the base name of a type predicate
(symbol symbol...)
a list of base names
else
an else clause

The actual name of the predicate is built from the base name and a ? suffix. So a base name number has the predicate number?.

(use moremacros)

(type-case 23
  ((symbol string char) 'symbolic)
  (number               'numeric)
  (else                 'otheric) )
;=> numeric

type-case*

[syntax] (type-case* EXPRESSION [(TYPE-TEST BODY ...) ...]))

Like type-case but binds local variable it to the value of EXPRESSION.

(use moremacros)

(type-case* 23
  ((symbol string char) (list it 'symbolic) )
  (number               (list it 'numeric) )
  (else                 (list it 'otheric) ) )
;=> (23 numeric)

whennot

[syntax] (whennot TEST [BODY ...]))

Synonym for miscmacros#unless.

swap-set!

[syntax] (swap-set! VAR1 VAR2))

Swap settings of VAR1 & VAR2.

Like (exchange! VAR1 VAR2) but lower overhead.

fluid-set!

[syntax] (fluid-set! VAR VAL ...))

Set each variable VAR to the value VAL in parallel.

stiff-set!

[syntax] (stiff-set! VAR VAL ...))

Set each variable VAR to the value VAL in series.

set!/op

[syntax] (set!/op VAR OP ARG...))

Sets VAR to the value of (OP ARG...), where an occurrence of <> in ARG... is replaced with VAR.

When there is no occurrence of <> in ARG... the template (OP <> ARG...) is used.

Similar to the C language family <l-value> <bin-op-assign> <r-value>.

assure

[syntax] (assure EXPRESSION [ERROR-ARGUMENT...]))

When EXPRESSION yields value #f} invoke {{(error ERROR-ARGUMENT...), otherwise return value.

Numeric Macros

Usage

 
(require-extension numeric-macros)

++

[syntax] (++ VAL)

Read-only increment.

When VAL is a numeric literal the strongest operation available is used in the generated expression, based on the type of the literal.

--

[syntax] (-- VAL)

Read-only decrement.

When VAL is a numeric literal the strongest operation available is used in the generated expression, based on the type of the literal.

fx++

[syntax] (fx++ VAL)

Read-only fixnum increment.

fx--

[syntax] (fx-- VAL)

Read-only fixnum decrement.

fp++

[syntax] (fp++ VAL)

Read-only flonum increment.

fp--

[syntax] (fp-- VAL)

Read-only flonum decrement.

fl++

[syntax] (fl++ VAL)

Read-only flonum increment.

R6RS nomenclature.

fl--

[syntax] (fl-- VAL)

Read-only flonum decrement.

R6RS nomenclature.

++!

[syntax] (++! VAR)

Mutable increment.

--!

[syntax] (--! VAR)

Mutable decrement.

fx++!

[syntax] (fx++! VAR)

Mutable fixnum increment.

fx--!

[syntax] (fx--! VAR)

Mutable fixnum decrement.

fp++!

[syntax] (fp++! VAR)

Mutable flonum increment.

fp--!

[syntax] (fp--! VAR)

Mutable flonum decrement.

fl++!

[syntax] (fl++! VAR)

Mutable flonum increment.

R6RS nomenclature.

fl--!

[syntax] (fl--! VAR)

Mutable flonum decrement.

R6RS nomenclature.
