specialized-io
Description
Fast I/O procedures specialized for different types. Instead of using the Scheme procedure read, specialized procedures can be used, so:
- I/O is faster
- There is no need to check the result of read
Author
Jeronimo Pellegrini
Requirements
Example
(use specialized-io) (let ((v (read-flonum (current-input-port)))) (write-flonum (fp* 2.5 v) (current-output-port)))
Note that you can use fp* with a value returned from read-flonum (it's guaranteed to be a flonum).
Documentation
[procedure] (read-fixnum PORT)[procedure] (read-flonum PORT)
[procedure] (read-complex PORT)
[procedure] (read-one-char PORT)
These procedures read one object of a specific type from an input-port. There are no runtime checks in the Scheme way; the procedures will just call error if anything goes wront (EOF, lexical error etc).
[procedure] (write-fixnum VALUE PORT)[procedure] (write-flonum VALUE PORT)
[procedure] (write-complex VALUE PORT)
[procedure] (write-one-char VALUE PORT)
These procedures write one object of a specific type to an output-port. There are no runtime checks in the Scheme way; the procedures will just call error if anything goes wront (EOF, lexical error etc).
[parameter] specialized-io-errorThis variable should be bound to a procedure that will be called when parsing fails. By default it's bound to error.
More examples
(use specialized-io) (let ((n (read-fixnum port))) (do ((i 0 (fx+ 1 i))) ((fx= i n)) (f64vector-set! vec i (read-flonum port))))
