iterators

This module is inspired by

Roshan James' "call/cc based implementation of Yield the Magnificent for Scheme".

Iterators are implemented with the macro lambda-yield and accessed with the macro iterate. Both are unhygienic by design.

They are then packaged into a coroutine record.

Iterators

iterators

[procedure] (iterators [sym])

documentation-procedure; returns the list of exported symbols if called with no symbol, otherwise the signature of that exported symbol sym.

lambda-yield

[syntax] (lambda-yield args xpr . xprs)

A curried lambda, which can yield a value in its body. Not hygienic because of yield.

define-iterator

[syntax] (define-iterator (name . args) xpr . xprs)

Defines a procedure, name, with lambda-yield instead of lambda. Not hygienic because of yield.

iterate

[syntax] (iterate iterator xpr . xprs)

invokes xpr . xprs whenever the iterator yields. Not hygienic, exports 'break' and 'it'; 'it' is the result of a yield and 'break' an escape-procedure.

yield-all

[syntax] (yield-all iterator)

yield all values of an interator, equivalent to (iterate iterator (yield it)), not hygienic because of yield.

Coroutines

A coroutine wraps an iterator into a coroutine object.

coroutine

[procedure] (coroutine iterator)

packages the iterator, i.e. a unary procedure of the yield argument, into a coroutine and does a first move, so that the coroutine object contains an escape-procedure

coroutine?

[procedure] (coroutine? xpr)

Type predicate.

co-move

[procedure] (co-move co)

iterates internal iterator till it yields or till it returns; returns new coroutine

co-value

[procedure] (co-value co)

returns the value of a coroutine.

co-finished?

[procedure] (co-finished? co)

has coroutine finished execution?

co-not-finished?

[procedure] (co-not-finished? co)

is coroutine's iterator still running?

co-return

[procedure] (co-return val co)

sets a return value into the coroutine and returns the new coroutine. This return value can be yielded by the internal iterator

coroutines

[procedure] (coroutines . iters)

equivalent to (map coroutine iters), hence returns many coroutines.

co-all-finished?

[procedure] (co-all-finished? cos)

did all internal iterators finish?

co-any-finished?

[procedure] (co-any-finished? cos)

did some internal iterator finish?

co-none-finished?

[procedure] (co-none-finished? cos)

are all internal iterators still running?

co-values

[procedure] (co-values cos)

equivalent to (map co-value cos).

co-move-all

[procedure] (co-move-all cos)

equivalent to (map co-move cos).

co-return-all

[procedure] (co-return-all ret cos)

equivalent to (map (lambda (co) (co-return ret co)) cos).

Requirements

none

Example


(import iterators)

(define-iterator (evens)
  (let loop ((i 0))
    (loop (+ (yield i) 2))))

(iterate (evens)
  (print "it = " it)
  (if (>= it 20)
      (break #f)
      it))

;;; tree-walking

(define-iterator (walk-tree tree)
  (cond
    ((pair? tree)
      (yield-all (walk-tree (car tree)))
      (yield-all (walk-tree (cdr tree))))
    ((null? tree) '())
    (else (yield tree))))


(iterate (walk-tree '(1 2 3 (5 6 7) (4 5) 8))
         (print "value " it)))

(define (same-fringe? t1 t2)
  (let loop ((c1 (coroutine (walk-tree t1)))
             (c2 (coroutine (walk-tree t2))))
    ;(print "XXX " (co-value c1) " " (co-value c2))
    (if (and (co-finished? c1) (co-finished? c2))
        #t
        (if (or (co-finished? c1) (co-finished? c2))
            #f
            (if (eq? (co-value c1) (co-value c2))
                (loop (co-move c1) (co-move c2))
                #f)))))

(define (Same-fringe? t1 t2)
  (let loop ((cs (coroutines (walk-tree t1) (walk-tree t2))))
    ;(print "YYY " (co-values cs))
    (cond
      ((co-all-finished? cs) #t)
      ((co-any-finished? cs) #f)
      ((eq? (co-value (car cs)) (co-value (cadr cs)))
       (loop (co-move-all cs)))
      (else #f))))

(define-iterator (ping)
  (let loop ()
    (yield 'ping)
    (loop)))

(define-iterator (pong)
  (let loop ()
    (yield 'pong)
    (loop)))

(define (ping-pong n)
  (let loop ((k 0) (ci (coroutine (ping))) (co (coroutine (pong))))
    (cond
      ((= k n)
       (print 'Finish))
      ((< k n)
       (print (co-value ci) " " (co-value co))
       (loop (+ k 1) (co-move ci) (co-move co))))))
