dynamic-import

Documentation

A dynamic import facility for CHICKEN Scheme.

Usage

 
(import dynamic-import)

dynamic-import

[syntax] (dynamic-import IDs MODs [DEF])

Defines the identifiers IDs, imported from the first available module in MODs, using the default specification DEF when all modules are unproductive.

IDs ; (or symbol (list-of symbol)) ; single, or multiple, identifiers
MODs ; (or symbol (list-of symbol)) ; single, or multiple, module specifications
DEF
(default *) ; use (list * ...) as the default bindings
DEF
list ; use as the default bindings
DEF
((or integer list) --> list) ; use for the default bindings

(length IDs) must match (length DEFs).

dynamic-importer

[procedure] (dynamic-importer IDs MODs [DEF]) -> list

Returns the bindings for the identifiers IDs, from the first available module in MODs, using the default specification DEF when all modules are unproductive.

IDs ; (list-of symbol) ; identifiers
MODs ; (list-of symbol) ; module specifications
DEF
list ; use as the default bindings
DEF
((or integer list) --> list) ; use for the default bindings

(length IDs) must match (length DEFs).

dynamic-import-warning

[parameter] (dynamic-import-warning [WARN]) -> procedure

: WARN ; (#!rest -> void) ; warning procedure, default warning : WARN ; #t ; warning : WARN ; #f ; void

tabulated-list-of

[procedure] (tabulated-list-of OBJ) -> (#!optional (or integer list) -> (or OBJ (list-of OBJ)))

Returns a procedure producing a list of the supplied object OBJ, of length equal to the integer or the (length list).

(define falses (tabulated-list-of #f))
(falses '(1 2)) ;=> (#f #f)
(falses 1)      ;=> (#f)

Examples

 
(import dynamic-import)

;tcp-listen ... from tcp6 else (chicken tcp)
(dynamic-import
  (tcp-listen tcp-listener-fileno tcp-listener-port
   tcp-accept tcp-accept-ready? tcp-close
   tcp-abandon-port tcp-buffer-size tcp-connect
   tcp-read-timeout tcp-write-timeout)
  (tcp6 (chicken tcp)))

;ssl-connect* from openssl else stub (no warnings since why not)
(dynamic-import-warning #f)
(dynamic-import ssl-connect* openssl (default (lambda _ (values #f #f))))
