Description

This module exports three macros, local, local* and localrec, in parallel to the standard macros let, let* and letrec. Contrary to the latter, the body of locals consists of definitions, not expressions. So, one is able to define procedures with a common state, something what define-values can do as well. The three macros differ only on the way, the local state variables are bound, in parallel, sequentially or recursively.

Documentation

locals

[procedure] (locals sym ..)

documentation procedure. With argument shows the documentation of this argument, without shows the list of all exported symbols.

local

[syntax] (local ((x val) ...) def ....)

binds x to val ... in parallel, and exports definitions def .... on top of this state.

[syntax] (local* ((x val) ...) def ....)

binds x to val ... sequentially and exports definitions def .... on top of this state.

[syntax] (localrec ((x val) ...) def ....)

binds x to val ... recursively, and exports definitions def .... on top of this state.

Examples

 

(local ((state 0))
  (define (counter-ref) state)
  (define (counter-add!)
    (set! state (+ state 1)))
  (define (counter-reset!)
    (set! state 0)))

(localrec (
  (my-odd? (lambda (k) (if (zero? k) #f (my-even? (- k 1)))))
  (my-even? (lambda (k) (if (zero? k) #t (my-odd? (- k 1)))))
  )
  (define (odd-or-even k)
    (if (my-odd? k) 'odd 'even)))

Requirements
