Subtypes can be created from any existing type created with this library. [[toc:]] == SRFI Description This page includes excerpts from [[https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-137/srfi-137.html|SRFI 137: Minimal Unique Types]]. For further information on the design and rationale of this library, see the SRFI document. == Specification <procedure>(make-type type-payload) → type-accessor constructor predicate accessor make-subtype</procedure> Calling {{make-type}} on {{type-payload}}, which can be any Scheme object, returns five values, all of which are procedures. They are distinct (in the sense of {{eqv?}}) from each other and from any other procedures returned by other calls to {{make-type}}. In brief, the five functions respectively: * return {{type-payload}} * return newly allocated objects of a disjoint type known as instances, each associated with an instance payload * return {{#t}} iff an object is an instance of this type * return the instance payload * return five more procedures associated with a subtype of this type Details are given for a sample type in the next section. The type payload might contain metadata (such as field names or class variables) associated with the type as a whole. === Sample procedures for a type For the purposes of this section, we will suppose that <enscript highlight="scheme">(define-values (reia-metadata make-reia reia? reia-ref make-reia-subtype) (make-type 'reia))</enscript> has been evaluated, and document each of the five variables that it binds. "Reia" is an acronym for "remarkably 'evil' in appearance", and has no particular significance. Fnord! <procedure>(reia-metadata) → object</procedure> Returns the symbol {{reia}}. <procedure>(make-reia instance-payload)→ reia</procedure> Returns a newly allocated instance associated with instance-payload. This association is single and immutable, but it is possible to make use of an appropriate container payload in order to effectively associate the instance with more than one value. To make the association effectively mutable, use a mutable payload such as a box, list or vector. Instances belong to a type that is disjoint from any existing Scheme type, including types created by other calls to {{make-type}}. <procedure>(reia? object)→ boolean</procedure> Returns {{#t}} iff object was returned by a call to {{make-reia}} or any constructor created as part of a direct or indirect subtype of the {{reia}} type. <procedure>(reia-ref reia) → object</procedure> Returns the instance payload of {{reia}}. It is an error if {{reia}} does not satisfy {{reia?}}. <procedure>(make-reia-subtype type-payload)→ type-accessor constructor predicate accessor make-subtype</procedure> Returns five new procedures with the same semantics as {{make-type}}, such that the objects returned by constructor satisfy {{reia?}} and their payload can be accessed using {{reia-ref}}. == Implementation The implementation of SRFI 137 provided by this egg is built on top of {{define-record-type}}. Thus, instances are records, and all of CHICKEN's [[/records-and-oop|existing record-type sugar]] can be used with SRFI 137 types. == About This Egg === Authors SRFI 137 was written and shepherded by John Cowan. The implementation provided by this egg was created by Marc Nieper-Wißkirchen.
