Outdated egg!

This is an egg for CHICKEN 3, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for the CHICKEN 4 version of this egg, if it exists.

If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the egg index. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN.

Requires

Constructors

context

[procedure] (context #!key [parent #f] [extensible #t] [flags] [bindings])

context-copy

[procedure] (context-copy ctx #!key [parent] [flags] [bindings] [filter #f])

Returns a new context with the same parent, flags and bindings as ctx.

Conversion

context->environment

[procedure] (context->environment ctx)

context->alist

[procedure] (context->alist ctx)

Returns an association list such that the car of each element in the result is a symbol in ctx and the corresponding cdr of each element in the result is the value associated to the binding in ctx. The order of the elements is unspecified.

context->hash-table

[procedure] (context->hash-table ctx)

Predicates

context?

[procedure] (context? x)

context-has-parent?

[procedure] (context-has-parent? ctx)

context-ancestor?

[procedure] (context-ancestor? ctx1 ctx2)

context-extensible?

[procedure] (context-extensible? ctx)

context-mutable?

[procedure] (context-mutable? ctx #!optional [symbol])

context-flag?

[procedure] (context-flag? ctx flag #!optional [default #f])

context-empty?

[procedure] (context-empty? ctx)

context-bound?

[procedure] (context-bound? ctx symbol)

context-exists?

[procedure] (context-exists? ctx symbol)

Accessors

context-flags

[procedure] (context-flags ctx)

context-bindings

[procedure] (context-bindings ctx)

context-size

[procedure] (context-size ctx)

Hierarchy

context-depth

[procedure] (context-depth ctx)

context-parent

[procedure] (context-parent ctx)

context-ancestors

[procedure] (context-ancestors ctx)

context-children

[procedure] (context-children ctx)

Introspection

context-symbols

[procedure] (context-symbols ctx #!key [sort #f])

context-values

[procedure] (context-values ctx #!key [filter #f] [unique #f])

context-walk

[procedure] (context-walk ctx proc)

context-for-each

[procedure] (context-for-each ctx proc)

Alias for context-walk.

Lookup

context-ref

[procedure] (context-ref ctx symbol #!optional [default])

context-lookup

[procedure] (context-lookup ctx symbol #!optional [default])

Mutation

context-set!

[procedure] (context-set! ctx symbol value)

context-remove!

[procedure] (context-remove! ctx symbol #!optional [silent? #f])

context-import!

[procedure] (context-import! ctx1 ctx2 #!optional [filter #f] [prefix #f])

context-merge!

[procedure] (context-merge! ctx1 ctx2 ...)

Adds all bindings in ctx2 (and any other given arguments) to ctx1 and returns the resulting context; may destructively modify ctx1.

Evaluation

context-eval

[procedure] (context-eval ctx exp)

context-load

[procedure] (context-load ctx file-or-port)

context-spawn

[procedure] (context-spawn ctx exp #!key [name] [start #t])
