[[tags: egg]] == miscmacros [[toc:]] === Description Various useful little macros. Note: since version 2.95, this extension does not support {{doto}} anymore. It is provided instead by Moritz Heidkamp's [[clojurian]] egg, among other other interesting Clojure macros. === Author [[/users/felix winkelmann|felix winkelmann]] === Repository This egg is hosted on the CHICKEN Subversion repository: [[https://anonymous@code.call-cc.org/svn/chicken-eggs/release/6/miscmacros|https://anonymous@code.call-cc.org/svn/chicken-eggs/release/6/miscmacros]] If you want to check out the source code repository of this egg and you are not familiar with Subversion, see [[/egg-svn-checkout|this page]]. === Requirements None === Documentation <macro>(let/cc K BODY ...)</macro> Executes {{BODY ...}} with {{K}} bound to the current-continuation. <macro>(until TEST BODY ...)</macro> Executes {{BODY ...}} repeatedly while the expression {{TEST}} returns {{#f}}. <macro>(repeat TIMES BODY ...)</macro> Executes {{BODY ...}} {{TIMES}} times. <macro>(repeat* TIMES BODY ...)</macro> Executes {{BODY ...}} {{TIMES}} times, with the variable {{it}} bound to the count-down value. <macro>(dotimes (VAR TIMES [FINAL]) BODY ...)</macro> Executes {{BODY ...}} {{TIMES}} times, with the variable {{VAR}} bound to the count-up value. Returns the result of the {{FINAL}} expression or {{(void)}} when no {{FINAL}} expression. <macro>(while TEST BODY ...)</macro> Executes {{BODY ...}} repeatedly until the expression {{TEST}} returns {{#f}}. <macro>(while* TEST BODY ...)</macro> Executes {{BODY ...}} repeatedly, with the result of {{TEST}} bound to the variable {{it}}, until the expression {{TEST}} returns {{#f}}. <macro>(select EXP ((KEY ...) EXP1 ...) ... [(else EXPn ...)])</macro> This is similar to {{case}}, but the keys are evaluated. <macro>(if* X Y [Z])</macro> The ''anaphoric'' {{if}}: if the expression {{X}} evaluates to a true value, the expression {{Y}} will be executed with the result of {{X}} bound to the variable {{it}}. If {{X}} is false, then {{Z}} (if supplied) will be evaluated: (if* (> 3 1) it) ==> #t (if* (memq 'a '(b a c)) (cdr it) 99) ==> (c) (if* #f it 1) ==> 1 (if* #f #f) ==> #<unspecified> <macro>(push! X LOC)</macro> equivalent to (set! LOC (cons X LOC)) Note that {{LOC}} may be any settable location. <macro>(pop! LOC)</macro> Returns the first element from the list stored in the location {{LOC}} and sets {{LOC}} to the cdr of the previous value. <macro>(inc! LOC [AMOUNT])</macro> Equivalent to {{(set! LOC (+ LOC AMOUNT))}}. {{AMOUNT}} defaults to 1. Returns the new value. <macro>(dec! LOC [AMOUNT])</macro> Equivalent to {{(set! LOC (- LOC AMOUNT))}}. {{AMOUNT}} defaults to 1. Returns the new value. <macro>(ignore-errors BODY ...)</macro> Evaluates the expressions in {{BODY ...}}. If any exceptions should be raised during execution of the body, then the exceptions will be caught, and {{ignore-errors}} returns {{#f}}. <macro>(begin0 BODY ...)</macro> Evaluates {{BODY ...}} just like {{begin}}, but instead of returning the last value(s), {{begin0}} returns the result (or the results) of the first expression in {{BODY ...}}. <macro>(define-enum ->INT ->SYM ID ...)</macro> Defines an enumeration. The variables {{ID, ...}} are bound to the exact integers {{0, 1, ...}} with {{define-constant}}. {{ID}} may also take the form {{(ID N)}}, in which case the counter will be set to the exact integer {{N}} for that variable, and continue upward normally from there. A procedure named {{->INT}} will be defined that takes a symbols and returns the respective integer. A procedure {{->SYM}} will also be defined that takes an integer and returns the respective symbol (from the set of {{ID}}s). If a symbol doesn't map to an integer (or vice versa), {{#f}} is returned. <macro>(define-optionals ((VAR1 DEFAULT1) ...) ARGUMENTS)</macro> Defines the globals {{VAR1 ...}} with the values taken from the list {{ARGUMENTS}}, or with {{DEFAULT1 ...}}, if the list is shorter. <macro>(define-parameter VAR [VALUE [GUARD]])</macro> Equivalent to (define VAR (make-parameter VALUE [GUARD])) {{VALUE}} defaults to {{(void)}}. <macro>(ignore-values EXP)</macro> Evaluates {{EXP}} ignoring any return values. Returns an unspecified value. <macro>(modify-location LOC PROC)</macro> Expands into a call to PROC with two arguments: a zero-argument procedure for retrieving the value from the settable location LOC and a one argument procedure for setting the value of LOC. Care is taken to evaluate any subforms in LOC only once. {{modify-location}} is intended to create modification macros for generalized locations (as in [[http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-17|SRFI-17]]. (define-syntax-rule (increment! loc) (modify-location loc (lambda (ref upd) (upd (add1 (ref)))) ) ) (define x (vector 123)) (increment! (vector-ref x (print 0))) ; sets x to #(124) and prints "0" only once <macro>(modify! LOC PROC)</macro> Modifies the contents of location LOC by applying the procedure PROC to it's contents and setting LOCs to the result. LOC may be any settable location. (define-macro (increment! loc) `(modify! ,loc add1) ) <macro>(exchange! LOC1 LOC2)</macro> Exchanges the contents of the given locations. LOC1 and LOC2 may be any settable locations. <macro>(define-syntax-rule (NAME ARGUMENT ...) TEMPLATE)</macro> Shorthand for (define-syntax NAME (syntax-rules () ((_ ARGUMENT ...) TEMPLATE))) <macro>(ecase EXP ((LITERAL ...) BODY ...) ...)</macro> Similar to {{case}}, but signals an error if no clause matches. <macro>(ensure PREDICATE EXP [ARGUMENTS ...])</macro> Evaluates the expression {{EXP}} and applies the one-argument procedure {{PREDICATE}} to the result. If the predicate returns {{#f}} an error is signaled, otherwise the result of {{EXP}} is returned. If compiled in ''unsafe'' mode (either by specifying the {{-unsafe}} compiler option or by declaring {{(unsafe)}}), then this expression expands to an unspecified value. If specified, the optional {{ARGUMENTS}} are used as arguments to the invocation of the error-signalling code, as in {{(error ARGUMENTS ...)}}. If no {{ARGUMENTS}} are given, a generic error message is displayed with the offending value and {{PREDICATE}} expression. <macro>(eval-when (SITUATION ...) EXP ...)</macro> Controls evaluation/compilation of subforms. {{SITUATION}} should be one of the symbols {{eval}}, {{compile}} or {{load}}. When encountered in the evaluator, and the situation specifier {{eval}} is not given, then this form is not evaluated and an unspecified value is returned. When encountered while compiling code, and the situation specifier {{compile}} is given, then this form is evaluated at compile-time. When encountered while compiling code, and the situation specifier {{load}} is not given, then this form is ignored and an expression resulting into an unspecified value is compiled instead. The following table should make this clearer: <table> <tr><th></th><th>In compiled code</th><th>In interpreted code</th></tr> <tr><td>{{eval}}</td><td>ignore</td><td>evaluate</td></tr> <tr><td>{{compile}}</td><td>evaluate at compile time</td><td>ignore</td></tr> <tr><td>{{load}}</td><td>compile as normal</td><td>ignore</td></tr> </table> === Changelog * 1.1 Port to CHICKEN 6 * 1.0 Initial release for CHICKEN 5, based on version 2.95 of CHICKEN 4, added {{ensure}}, {{select}} and {{eval-when}} === License Copyright (c) 2006-2018, The CHICKEN Team Copyright (c) 2004-2005, Felix L.
