@defun format destination format-string . arguments
|
||||
An almost complete implementation of Common LISP format description
|
||||
according to the CL reference book @cite{Common LISP} from Guy L.
|
||||
Steele, Digital Press. Backward compatible to most of the available
|
||||
Scheme format implementations.
|
||||
|
||||
Returns @code{#t}, @code{#f} or a string; has side effect of printing
|
||||
according to @var{format-string}. If @var{destination} is @code{#t},
|
||||
the output is to the current output port and @code{#t} is returned. If
|
||||
@var{destination} is @code{#f}, a formatted string is returned as the
|
||||
result of the call. NEW: If @var{destination} is a string,
|
||||
@var{destination} is regarded as the format string; @var{format-string} is
|
||||
then the first argument and the output is returned as a string. If
|
||||
@var{destination} is a number, the output is to the current error port
|
||||
if available by the implementation. Otherwise @var{destination} must be
|
||||
an output port and @code{#t} is returned.@refill
|
||||
|
||||
@var{format-string} must be a string. In case of a formatting error
|
||||
format returns @code{#f} and prints a message on the current output or
|
||||
error port. Characters are output as if the string were output by the
|
||||
@code{display} function with the exception of those prefixed by a tilde
|
||||
(~). For a detailed description of the @var{format-string} syntax
|
||||
please consult a Common LISP format reference manual. For a test suite
|
||||
to verify this format implementation load @file{formatst.scm}. Please
|
||||
send bug reports to @code{lutzeb@@cs.tu-berlin.de}.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: @code{format} is not reentrant, i.e. only one @code{format}-call
|
||||
may be executed at a time.

@subsection Format Specification (Format version 3.0)
|
||||
|
||||
Please consult a Common LISP format reference manual for a detailed
|
||||
description of the format string syntax. For a demonstration of the
|
||||
implemented directives see @file{formatst.scm}.@refill
|
||||
|
||||
This implementation supports directive parameters and modifiers
|
||||
(@code{:} and @code{@@} characters). Multiple parameters must be
|
||||
separated by a comma (@code{,}). Parameters can be numerical parameters
|
||||
(positive or negative), character parameters (prefixed by a quote
|
||||
character (@code{'}), variable parameters (@code{v}), number of rest
|
||||
arguments parameter (@code{#}), empty and default parameters. Directive
|
||||
characters are case independent. The general form of a directive
|
||||
is:@refill
|
||||
|
||||
@noindent
|
||||
@var{directive} ::= ~@{@var{directive-parameter},@}[:][@@]@var{directive-character}
|
||||
|
||||
@noindent
|
||||
@var{directive-parameter} ::= [ [-|+]@{0-9@}+ | '@var{character} | v | # ]
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
@subsubsection Implemented CL Format Control Directives
|
||||
|
||||
Documentation syntax: Uppercase characters represent the corresponding
|
||||
control directive characters. Lowercase characters represent control
|
||||
directive parameter descriptions.

Takes @var{n} as an integer representation for a character. No arguments

@code{integer->char}. @var{n} must be a positive decimal number.@refill

@end table
|

|

@subsubsection Configuration Variables
|
||||
|
||||
Format has some configuration variables at the beginning of
|
||||
@file{format.scm} to suit the systems and users needs. There should be
|
||||
no modification necessary for the configuration that comes with SLIB.
|
||||
If modification is desired the variable should be set after the format
|
||||
code is loaded. Format detects automatically if the running scheme
|
||||
system implements floating point numbers and complex numbers.
|
||||
|
||||
@table @asis
|
||||
|
||||
@item @var{format:symbol-case-conv}
|
||||
Symbols are converted by @code{symbol->string} so the case type of the
|
||||
printed symbols is implementation dependent.
|
||||
@code{format:symbol-case-conv} is a one arg closure which is either
|
||||
@code{#f} (no conversion), @code{string-upcase}, @code{string-downcase}
|
||||
or @code{string-capitalize}. (default @code{#f})
|
||||
|
||||
@item @var{format:iobj-case-conv}
|
||||
As @var{format:symbol-case-conv} but applies for the representation of
|
||||
implementation internal objects. (default @code{#f})
|
||||
|
||||
@item @var{format:expch}
|
||||
The character prefixing the exponent value in @code{~E} printing. (default
|
||||
@code{#\E})

||||
|
||||
@end table

@subsubsection Compatibility With Other Format Implementations
|
||||
|
||||
@table @asis
|
||||
@item SLIB format 2.x:
|
||||
See @file{format.doc}.
|
||||
|
||||
@item SLIB format 1.4:
|
||||
Downward compatible except for padding support and @code{~A}, @code{~S},
|
||||
@code{~P}, @code{~X} uppercase printing. SLIB format 1.4 uses C-style
|
||||
@code{printf} padding support which is completely replaced by the CL
|
||||
@code{format} padding style.
|
||||
|
||||
@item MIT C-Scheme 7.1:
|
||||
Downward compatible except for @code{~}, which is not documented
|
||||
(ignores all characters inside the format string up to a newline
|
||||
character). (7.1 implements @code{~a}, @code{~s},
|
||||
~@var{newline}, @code{~~}, @code{~%}, numerical and variable
|
||||
parameters and @code{:/@@} modifiers in the CL sense).@refill

||||
|
||||
@item Elk 1.5/2.0:
|

Downward compatible except for @code{~A} and @code{~S} which print in
|
||||
uppercase. (Elk implements @code{~a}, @code{~s}, @code{~~}, and
|
||||
@code{~%} (no directive parameters or modifiers)).@refill
|
||||
|
||||
@item Scheme->C 01nov91:
|
||||
Downward compatible except for an optional destination parameter: S2C
|
||||
accepts a format call without a destination which returns a formatted
|
||||
string. This is equivalent to a #f destination in S2C. (S2C implements
|
||||
@code{~a}, @code{~s}, @code{~c}, @code{~%}, and @code{~~} (no directive
|
||||
parameters or modifiers)).@refill

|

|
||||
Introduction
|
||||
--- Explains Guile's goals, and gives brief examples of how to use
|
||||
Guile interactively (show off repl), as a script interpreter,
|
||||
and as an embedded interpreter.
|
||||
|
||||
Part I: Guile Scheme
|
||||
R4RS Scheme as a Starting Point
|
||||
--- Here we refer to R4RS, and explain that we're only
|
||||
describing differences.
|
||||
Block comments and interpreter triggers
|
||||
Symbol case
|
||||
Keywords
|
||||
Exceptions
|
||||
Modules
|
||||
--- the preceding three come first, because we need them
|
||||
in order to explain the behavior of some things later
|
||||
Exception Handling
|
||||
--- mention that repls usually establish default exception handlers
|
||||
Dynamic Wind
|
||||
Records
|
||||
Structures
|
||||
Arrays
|
||||
Binary Numeric Operations
|
||||
Shared and Read-Only Strings
|
||||
Object Properties
|
||||
Association Lists and Hash Tables
|
||||
(Dictionaries In General)
|
||||
association lists
|
||||
hash tables (Hash Values)
|
||||
Input/Output ports
|
||||
file ports
|
||||
soft ports
|
||||
string ports
|
||||
extended I/O (fseek; line read/write)
|
||||
Garbage Collection
|
||||
Threads and Dynamic Roots
|
||||
Reflection
|
||||
eval
|
||||
Tag Values
|
||||
Weak references
|
||||
Regular Expressions
|
||||
SLIB
|
||||
POSIX system calls and networking
|
||||
--- I think people will generally know whether they're looking
|
||||
for a system call or not, so this should be an okay category.
|
||||
conventions (includes error handling)
|
||||
ports vs. file descriptors
|
||||
file system (mknod goes here, no?)
|
||||
user database
|
||||
time (includes gettimeofday or whatever, strftime, strptime)
|
||||
processes
|
||||
terminals and pseudo-terminals
|
||||
pipes
|
||||
networking (includes databases, address conversion, and sockets)
|
||||
system identification (uname)
|
||||
locales (setlocale)
|
||||
--- Note that there is no more 'misc'. It's better to have
|
||||
small sections than unhelpful names.
|
||||
SCSH
|
||||
--- includes info on how to get SCSH features (open this
|
||||
module), but mostly just a pointer to the SCSH manual.
|
||||
This should not be under POSIX. SCSH includes plenty of
|
||||
high-level stuff for starting processes and string
|
||||
processing. SCSH is not a subset of POSIX, nor the
|
||||
reverse.
|
||||
Tcl/Tk interface
|
||||
Module internals
|
||||
first-class variables
|
||||
first-class modules
|
||||
internal debugging interface
|
||||
--- The name of this chapter needs to clearly distinguish it
|
||||
from the appendix describing the debugger UI. The intro
|
||||
should have a pointer to the UI appendix.
|
||||
|
||||
Part II: Using Scheme with C --- a Portable Interface
|
||||
--- We cover gh in a completely separate section. Why? I admit
|
||||
I'm on shaky ground, but here's my reasoning: People who want
|
||||
to write portable C code need to restrict themselves to only
|
||||
using GH, and GH's semantics are (necessarily) well-defined
|
||||
without reference to Guile's particulars. This makes life
|
||||
more difficult for folks who just prefer to use the GH
|
||||
interface when they can, but I really think the SCM interface
|
||||
is not so bad, once you're used to it. A *lot* of GH
|
||||
functions are just wrappers for SCM functions.
|
||||
--- We cover repls here too, since GH has repl functions.
|
||||
|
||||
Part III: Using Scheme with C --- Guile's Interface
|
||||
Scheme data representation
|
||||
Relationship between Scheme and C functions
|
||||
--- this is where we explain that all the functions marked as
|
||||
"Primitive Functions" are also accessible from C, and how
|
||||
to derive the C interface given the Scheme interface, when
|
||||
we don't spell it out.
|
||||
... I think there's other stuff needed here ...
|
||||
I/O internals
|
||||
linking Guile with your code
|
||||
--- Mark's "Tools to automate adding libraries" is not a
|
||||
well-defined concept. I think this is closer to what we
|
||||
want to cover for now.
|
||||
snarfing
|
||||
|
||||
Appendices:
|
||||
Obtaining and Installing Guile
|
||||
Invoking Guile
|
||||
--- mentions read-eval-print loops
|
||||
--- both the SCSH and GAWK manuals relegate invocation details
|
||||
to an appendix. We can give examples in the introduction.
|
||||
debugger user interface
|
||||
--- The title and introduction of this appendix need to
|
||||
distinguish this clearly from the chapter on the internal
|
||||
debugging interface.
|
||||
|
||||
Indices:
|
||||
--- At the top of the function/variable index, remind people
|
||||
to look for functions under their Scheme names as well as
|
||||
their C names.

Extension languages, like Guile, Python and Tcl, can be embedded into a
|
||||
C program, @footnote{Or a C++ or Fortran or Pascal program if you want.}
|
||||
and thus allow the user to @emph{extend} the C program.
|
||||
|
||||
The way this is done is by providing a C language library with a well
|
||||
defined interface. The interface consists of a set of public and
|
||||
documented C-callable routines that offer the full interpreter
|
||||
functionality, and allow the conversion of data between C and the
|
||||
extension language.

Here I will describe some automated tools that the Guile team has made

available. Some have been written especially for Guile (the Guile Magic

Snarfer), and some are also in use with other languages (Python, Perl,

|

|
||||
When writing C code for use with Guile, you typically define a set of C
|
||||
functions, and then make some of them visible to the Scheme world by
|
||||
calling the @code{scm_make_gsubr} function; a C functions published in
|
||||
this way is called a @dfn{subr}. If you have many subrs to publish, it
|
||||
can sometimes be annoying to keep the list of calls to
|
||||
@code{scm_make_gsubr} in sync with the list of function definitions.
|
||||
Frequently, a programmer will define a new subr in C, recompile his
|
||||
application, and then discover that the Scheme interpreter cannot see
|
||||
the subr, because he forgot to call @code{scm_make_gsubr}.
|
||||
|
||||
Guile provides the @code{guile-snarf} command to manage this problem.
|
||||
Using this tool, you can keep all the information needed to define the
|
||||
subr alongside the function definition itself; @code{guile-snarf} will
|
||||
extract this information from your source code, and automatically
|
||||
generate a file of calls to @code{scm_make_gsubr} which you can
|
||||
@code{#include} into an initialization function. (The command name
|
||||
comes from the verb ``to snarf'', here meaning ``to unceremoniously
|
||||
extract information from a somewhat unwilling source.'')

@node How guile-snarf works
|
||||
@subsection How @code{guile-snarf} works
|
||||
|
||||
For example, here is how you might define a new subr called
|
||||
@code{clear-image}, implemented by the C function @code{clear_image}:
|
||||
|
||||
@example
|
||||
@group
|
||||
#include <libguile.h>
|
||||
|
||||
@dots{}
|
||||
|
||||
SCM_PROC (s_clear_image, "clear-image", 1, 0, 0, clear_image);
|
||||
|
||||
SCM
|
||||
clear_image (SCM image_smob)
|
||||
@{
|
||||
@dots{}
|
||||
@}
|
||||
|
||||
@dots{}
|
||||
|
||||
void
|
||||
init_image_type ()
|
||||
@{
|
||||
#include "image-type.x"
|
||||
@}
|
||||
@end group
|
||||
@end example
|
||||
|
||||
The @code{SCM_PROC} declaration says that the C function
|
||||
@code{clear_image} implements a Scheme subr called @code{clear-image},
|
||||
which takes one required argument, no optional arguments, and no tail
|
||||
argument. @code{SCM_PROC} also declares a static array of characters
|
||||
named @code{s_clear_image}, initialized to the string
|
||||
@code{"clear-image"}. The body of @code{clear_image} may use the array
|
||||
in error messages, instead of writing out the literal string; this may
|
||||
save string space on some systems.
|
||||
|
||||
Assuming the text above lives in a file named @file{image-type.c}, you will
|
||||
need to execute the following command to compile this file:
|
||||
@example
|
||||
guile-snarf image-type.c > image-type.x
|
||||
@end example
|
||||
@noindent This scans @file{image-type.c} for @code{SCM_PROC}
|
||||
declarations, and sends the following output to the file
|
||||
@file{image-type.x}:
|
||||
@example
|
||||
scm_make_gsubr (s_clear_image, 1, 0, 0, clear_image);
|
||||
@end example
|
||||
When compiled normally, @code{SCM_PROC} is a macro which expands to a
|
||||
declaration of the @code{s_clear_image} string.
|
||||
|
||||
In other words, @code{guile-snarf} scans source code looking for uses of
|
||||
the @code{SCM_PROC} macro, and generates C code to define the
|
||||
appropriate subrs. You need to provide all the same information you
|
||||
would if you were using @code{scm_make_gsubr} yourself, but you can
|
||||
place the information near the function definition itself, so it is less
|
||||
likely to become incorrect or out-of-date.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have many files that @code{guile-snarf} must process, you should
|
||||
consider using a rule like the following in your Makefile:
|
||||
@example
|
||||
.SUFFIXES: .x
|
||||
.c.x:
|
||||
./guile-snarf $(DEFS) $(INCLUDES) $(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) $< > $@
|
||||
@end example
|
||||
This tells make to run @code{guile-snarf} to produce each needed
|
||||
@file{.x} file from the corresponding @file{.c} file.
|
||||
|
||||
@code{guile-snarf} passes all its command-line arguments directly to the
|
||||
C preprocessor, which it uses to extract the information it needs from
|
||||
the source code. this means you can pass normal compilation flags to
|
||||
@code{guile-snarf} to define preprocessor symbols, add header file
|
||||
directories, and so on.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
@node Macros guile-snarf recognizes
|
||||
@subsection Macros @code{guile-snarf} recognizes
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the macros you can use in your source code from which
|
||||
@code{guile-snarf} can construct initialization code:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
@defmac SCM_PROC (@var{namestr}, @var{name}, @var{req}, @var{opt}, @var{tail}, @var{c_func})
|
||||
Declare a new Scheme primitive function, or @dfn{subr}. The new subr
|
||||
will be named @var{name} in Scheme code, and be implemented by the C
|
||||
function @var{c_func}. The subr will take @var{req} required arguments
|
||||
and @var{opt} optional arguments. If @var{tail} is non-zero, the
|
||||
function will accept any remaining arguments as a list.
|
||||
|
||||
Use this macro outside all function bodies, preferably above the
|
||||
definition of @var{c_func} itself. When compiled, the @code{SCM_PROC}
|
||||
declaration will expand to a definition for the @var{namestr} array,
|
||||
initialized to @var{name}. The @code{guile-snarf} command uses this
|
||||
declaration to automatically generate initialization code to create the
|
||||
subr and bind it in the top-level environment. @xref{How guile-snarf
|
||||
works}, for more info.
|
||||
|
||||
@xref{Subrs}, for details on argument passing and how to write
|
||||
@var{c_func}.
|
||||
@end defmac
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
@defmac SCM_GLOBAL (@var{var}, @var{scheme_name})
|
||||
Declare a global Scheme variable named @var{scheme_name}, and a static C
|
||||
variable named @var{var} to point to it. The value of the Scheme
|
||||
variable lives in the @sc{cdr} of the cell @var{var} points to.
|
||||
Initialize the variable to @code{#f}.
|
||||
|
||||
Use this macro outside all function bodies. When compiled, the
|
||||
@code{SCM_GLOBAL} macro will expand to a definition for the variable
|
||||
@var{var}, initialized to an innocuous value. The @code{guile-snarf}
|
||||
command will use this declaration to automatically generate code to
|
||||
create a global variable named @var{scheme_name}, and store a pointer to
|
||||
its cell in @var{var}.
|
||||
@end defmac
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
@defmac SCM_CONST_LONG (@var{var}, @var{scheme_name}, @var{value})
|
||||
Like @code{SCM_GLOBAL}, but initialize the variable to @var{value},
|
||||
which must be an integer.
|
||||
@end defmac
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
@defmac SCM_SYMBOL (@var{var}, @var{name})
|
||||
Declare a C variable of type @code{SCM} named @var{var}, and initialize
|
||||
it to the Scheme symbol object whose name is @var{name}.
|
||||
|
||||
Use this macro outside all function bodies. When compiled, the
|
||||
@code{SCM_SYMBOL} macro will expand to a definition for the variable
|
||||
@var{var}, initialized to an innocuous value. The @code{guile-snarf}
|
||||
command will use this declaration to automatically generate code to
|
||||
create a symbol named @var{name}, and store it in @var{var}.

Guile is an interpreter for Scheme, a clean, economical programming
|
||||
language in the Lisp family. You can invoke Guile from the shell to
|
||||
evaluate Scheme expressions interactively, or use it as an interpreter
|
||||
for script files. However, Guile is also packaged as a library, to be
|
||||
embedded as an extension language into other applications. The
|
||||
application can supplement the base language with special-purpose
|
||||
functions and datatypes, allowing the user to customize and extend it by
|
||||
writing Scheme code.
|
||||
|
||||
In its simplest form, Guile is an ordinary interpreter. The
|
||||
@code{guile} program can read and evaluate Scheme expressions entered
|
||||
from the terminal. Here is a sample interaction between Guile and a
|
||||
user; the user's input appears after the @code{$} and @code{guile>}
|
||||
prompts:
|
||||
|
||||
@example
|
||||
$ guile
|
||||
guile> (+ 1 2 3) ; add some numbers
|
||||
6
|
||||
guile> (define (factorial n) ; define a function
|
||||
(if (zero? n) 1 (* n (factorial (- n 1)))))
|
||||
guile> (factorial 20)
|
||||
2432902008176640000
|
||||
guile> (getpwnam "jimb") ; find my entry in /etc/passwd
|
||||
#("jimb" ".0krIpK2VqNbU" 4008 10 "Jim Blandy" "/u/jimb"
|
||||
"/usr/local/bin/bash")
|
||||
guile> @kbd{C-d}
|
||||
$
|
||||
@end example
|
||||
|
||||
Guile can also interpret script files. For example, here is a Guile script
|
||||
containing a script which displays the
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
application can
|
||||
supplement the base language with its own functions, datatypes and
|
||||
syntax, allowing the user to extend and
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Guile interpret
|
||||
|
||||
. An
|
||||
application the Guile interpreter to allow
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
, allowing
|
||||
applications to incorporate the Scheme interpreter for customization
|
||||
|
||||
[[interactive]]
|
||||
[[script interpreter]]
|
||||
[[embedded]]
|
||||
|
||||
[[other languages]]
|
||||
The concept of an extension language library does not originate with
|
||||
Guile. However, Guile is the first to offer users a choice of languages
|
||||
to program in.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Guile currently supports Scheme and Ctax , and we expect to support Emacs Lisp in the near future.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Scheme is powerful enough that other languages can be
|
||||
conveniently translated into it,
|
||||
|
||||
However, unlike other extension packages, Guile gives users a choice of
|
||||
languages to program in. Guile can
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
In this sense, Guile resembles the Tcl and Python packages, providing
|
||||
both an ordinary interpreter and an extension language library.
|
||||
However, unlike those packages, Guile supports more than one programming
|
||||
language.
|
||||
|
||||
; users can
|
||||
write Scheme code to control and customize applications which
|
||||
incorporate Guile
|
||||
|
||||
, adding their own functions,
|
||||
datatypes, and syntax, to allow the user to programm
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
link it into your own programs to make them
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Guile is a library containing an interpreter for Scheme, a complete but
|
||||
economical programming language, which the developer can customize to
|
||||
suit the application at hand by adding new functions, data types, and
|
||||
control structures. These may be implemented in C, and then
|
||||
``exported'' for use by the interpreted code. Because Guile already
|
||||
provides a full-featured interpreter, the developer need not neglect the
|
||||
language's design in order to concentrate on code relevant to the task.
|
||||
In this way, Guile provides a framework for the construction of
|
||||
domain-specific languages.
|
||||
|
||||
Guile provides first-class functions, a rich set of data types,
|
||||
exception handling, a module system, and a powerful macro facility.
|
||||
Guile also supports dynamic linking and direct access to Unix system
|
||||
calls. Releases in the near future will support a source-level
|
||||
debugger and bindings for the Tk user interface toolkit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Guile is a framework for writing applications controlled by specialized
|
||||
languages. In its simplest form, Guile is an interpreter for Scheme, a
|
||||
clean, economical programming language in the Lisp family. However,
|
||||
Guile is packaged as a library, allowing applications to link against it
|
||||
and use Scheme as their extension language. The application can add
|
||||
primitive functions to the language, implement new data types, and even
|
||||
adjust the language's syntax.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
[the introduction is probably not what Jim has in mind; I just took the
|
||||
one I had in earlier, since the file had the same name intro.texi]
|
||||
|
||||
Guile is an implementation of the Scheme programming language, but, like
|
||||
other modern implementations of Scheme, it adds many features that the
|
||||
community of Scheme programmers considers necessary for an ``industrial
|
||||
strength'' language.
|
||||
|
||||
Examples of extensions to Scheme are the module system
|
||||
(@pxref{Modules}), the Unix system programming tools (@pxref{POSIX
|
||||
system calls and networking} and @pxref{The Scheme shell (scsh)}), an
|
||||
interface to @emph{libtool} to make it easier to add C libraries as
|
||||
primitives (@pxref{Linking Guile with your code}), and (FIXME add more).
|
||||
|
||||
On top of these extensions, which many other Scheme implementations
|
||||
provide, Guile also offers the possibility of writing routines in other
|
||||
languages and running them simultaneously with Scheme. The desire to
|
||||
implement other languages (in particular Emacs Lisp) on top of Scheme is
|
||||
responsible for Guile's only deviation from the R4RS @footnote{R4RS is
|
||||
the Revised^4 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme, the closest
|
||||
thing to a standard Scheme specification today} Scheme standard
|
||||
(@cite{r4rs}): Guile is case sensitive, whereas ``standard'' Scheme is
|
||||
not.
|
||||
|
||||
But even more fundamentally, Guile is meant to be an @emph{embeddable}
|
||||
Scheme interpreter. This means that a lot of work has gone into
|
||||
packaging the interpreter as a C library (@pxref{A Portable C to Scheme Interface} and @pxref{Scheme data representation}).
|
||||
|
||||
This reference manual is mainly driven by the need to document all the
|
||||
features that go beyond standard Scheme.

We assume that you know how to program in Scheme, although we do not
|
||||
assume advanced knowledge. If you don't know Scheme, there are many
|
||||
good books on Scheme at all levels, and the Guile Tutorial might give
|
||||
you a good enough feel for the language. We also assume that you know
|
||||
how to program in C, since there will be many examples of how to program
|
||||
in C using Guile as a library.
|
||||
|
||||
Many diverse topics from the world of Unix hacking will be covered here,
|
||||
such as shared libraries, socket programming, garbage collection, and so
|
||||
forth. If at any time you feel you don't have enough background on a
|
||||
given topic, just go up a level or two in the manual, and you will find
|
||||
that the chapter begins with a few paragraphs that introduce the topic.
|
||||
If you are still lost, read through the Guile tutorial and then come
|
||||
back to this reference manual.
|
||||
|
||||
To run the core Guile interpreter and extension library you need no more
|
||||
than a basically configured GNU/Unix system and the Guile sources. You
|
||||
should download and install the Guile sources (@pxref{Obtaining and
|
||||
Installing Guile}).

An executable script can start with the following:

@smallexample
|

#!/usr/bin/guile -s
|

!#
|
||||
@end smallexample
|
||||
|
||||
Note the @code{!#} token on the second line. It is very important
|
||||
to include this token when writing Guile scripts. Guile and SCSH,
|
||||
the Scheme shell, share the convention that @code{#!} and
|
||||
@code{!#} may be used to mark block comments (@pxref{Block
|
||||
comments and interpreter triggers}). If the closing @code{!#}
|
||||
token is not included, then Guile will consider the block comment
|
||||
to be unclosed, and the script will probably not compile
|
||||
correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
It is also important to include the @samp{-s} option at the
|
||||
beginning of the Guile script, so that Guile knows not to behave
|
||||
in an interactive fashion.

@chapter Guile Scheme concepts

|

Most Scheme implementations go beyond what is specified in the R4RS
|
||||
document @footnote{Remember? R4RS is the Revised^4 report on the
|
||||
Algorithmic Language Scheme}, mostly because R4RS does not give
|
||||
specifications (or even recommendations) regarding some issues that are
|
||||
quite important in practical programming.
|

|

Here is a list of how Guile implements some of these much-needed Scheme

extensions; other Scheme implementations do so quite similarly.

@section Scheme slang

@cindex slang
|
||||
|
||||
Even if you read some of the nice books on Scheme, or the R4RS report,
|
||||
you might not find some of the terms frequently used by Scheme hackers,
|
||||
both in the manual and in the @url{news:comp.lang.scheme} newsgroup.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a glossary of some of the terms that make Scheme beginners and
|
||||
intermediate users say ``huh?''
|
||||
|
||||
@table @strong
|
||||
@item thunk
|
||||
@cindex thunk
|
||||
A Scheme procedure that takes no arguments. In this example,
|
||||
@code{thunk} and @code{another-thunk} are both thunks:
|
||||
@lisp
|
||||
(define (thunk)
|
||||
(display "Dude, I'm a thunk!")
|
||||
(newline))
|
||||
(define another-thunk
|
||||
(lambda ()
|
||||
(display "Me too!\n")
|
||||
(newline)))
|
||||
@end lisp
|
||||
|
||||
@item closure
|
||||
@cindex closure
|
||||
A closure is a procedure. However, the term emphasizes the fact that a
|
||||
Scheme procedure remembers (or @dfn{closes over}) the variables that
|
||||
were visible when the @code{lambda} expression was
|
||||
evaluated.
|
||||
|
||||
In the example below, we might refer to @code{q} as a closure, because
|
||||
it has closed over the value of @code{x}:
|
||||
@lisp
|
||||
(define p
|
||||
(lambda (x)
|
||||
(lambda (y)
|
||||
(+ x y))))
|
||||
(define q (p 5.7))
|
||||
|
||||
(q 10)
|
||||
@result{} 15.7
|
||||
@end lisp
|
||||
|
||||
However, strictly speaking, every Scheme procedure is really a closure,
|
||||
since it closes over the top-level environment.

|

To explicitly mention the Scheme read-eval-print loop (REPL) seems weird
|
||||
because we are all accustomed to firing up an interpreter and having it
|
||||
read and execute commands.
|
||||
|
||||
But the REPL is not specified in R4RS; rather, it is proposed by the
|
||||
Scheme Bible @cite{Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs}
|
||||
(also known as @emph{SICP}), and implemented in some form in all Scheme
|
||||
interpreters.

@node Extra data types
|
||||
@section Extra data types
|
||||
|
||||
The fundamental Scheme data types specified in R4RS are @emph{numbers}
|
||||
(both exact and inexact), @emph{characters}, @emph{strings},
|
||||
@emph{symbols}, @emph{vectors}, @emph{pairs} and @emph{lists} [FIXME: is
|
||||
this complete?].
|
||||
|
||||
Many Scheme interpreters offer more types, and Guile is no exception.
|
||||
Guile is based on Aubrey Jaffer's SCM interpreter, and thus inherits
|
||||
@emph{uniform arrays}, [FIXME: any others? How about records?].
|
||||
|
||||
On top of that, Guile allows you to add extra types, but that is covered
|
||||
in @ref{Adding types to Guile}. Here I will simply document all the
|
||||
extra Scheme types shipped with Guile.

@cindex arrays - uniform
|
||||
|
||||
The motivation for uniform arrays in Scheme is performance. A vector
|
||||
provides a performance increase over lists when you want a fixed-size
|
||||
indexable list. But the elements in a vector can be of different types,
|
||||
and this makes for larger storage requirements and slightly lower
|
||||
performance.
|
||||
|
||||
A uniform array is similar to a vector, but all elements have to be of
|
||||
the same type.

Uniform arrays can be written and read, but @code{read} won't recognize
|
||||
them unless the optional @code{read-sharp} parameter is supplied,
|
||||
e.g,
|
||||
@smalllisp
|
||||
(read port #t read-sharp)
|
||||
@end smalllisp
|
||||
|
||||
where @code{read-sharp} is the default procedure for parsing extended
|
||||
sharp notations.
|
||||
|
||||
Reading an array is not very efficient at present, since it's implemented
|
||||
by reading a list and converting the list to an array.

|

@section Expect: Pattern Matching from a Port
|
||||
|
||||
@code{expect} is a macro for selecting actions based on the output from
|
||||
a port. The name comes from a tool of similar functionality by Don Libes.
|
||||
Actions can be taken when a particular string is matched, when a timeout
|
||||
occurs, or when end-of-file is seen on the port. The @code{expect} macro
|
||||
is described below; @code{expect-strings} is a front-end to @code{expect}
|
||||
based on regexec @xref{Regular expressions}.
|
||||
|
||||
Using these macros requires for now:
|
||||
@smalllisp
|
||||
(load-from-path "ice-9/expect")
|
||||
@end smalllisp
|
||||
|
||||
@defun expect-strings clause @dots{}
|
||||
By default, @code{expect-strings} will read from the current input port.
|
||||
The first term in each clause consists of an expression evaluating to
|
||||
a string pattern (regular expression). As characters
|
||||
are read one-by-one from the port, they are accumulated in a buffer string
|
||||
which is matched against each of the patterns. When a
|
||||
pattern matches, the remaining expression(s) in
|
||||
the clause are evaluated and the value of the last is returned. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
@smalllisp
|
||||
(with-input-from-file "/etc/passwd"
|
||||
(lambda ()
|
||||
(expect-strings
|
||||
("^nobody" (display "Got a nobody user.\n")
|
||||
(display "That's no problem.\n"))
|
||||
("^daemon" (display "Got a daemon user.\n")))))
|
||||
@end smalllisp
|
||||
|
||||
The regular expression is compiled with the @code{REG_NEWLINE} flag, so
|
||||
that the @code{^} and @code{$} anchors will match at any newline, not
|
||||
just at the start
|
||||
and end of the string.
|
||||
|
||||
There are two other ways to write a clause:
|
||||
|
||||
The expression(s) to evaluate on a match
|
||||
can be omitted, in which case the result of the match
|
||||
(converted to strings, as obtained from regexec with @var{match-pick}
|
||||
set to @code{""}) will be returned if the pattern matches.
|
||||
|
||||
The symbol @code{=>} can be used to indicate that there is a single
|
||||
expression to evaluate on a match, which must be a
|
||||
procedure which will accept the result of a successful match (converted
|
||||
to strings, as obtained from regexec with @var{match-pick} set to
|
||||
@code{""}). E.g.,
|
||||
|
||||
@smalllisp
|
||||
("^daemon" => write)
|
||||
("^d\\(aemon\\)" => (lambda args (map write args)))
|
||||
("^da\\(em\\)on" => (lambda (all sub)
|
||||
(write all)
|
||||
(write sub)))
|
||||
@end smalllisp
|
||||
|
||||
The order of the substrings corresponds to the order in which the
|
||||
opening brackets occur in the regular expression.
|
||||
|
||||
A number of variables can be used to control the behaviour
|
||||
of @code{expect} (and @code{expect-strings}).
|
||||
By default they are all bound at the top level to
|
||||
the value @code{#f}, which produces the default behaviour.
|
||||
They can be redefined at the
|
||||
top level or locally bound in a form enclosing the @code{expect} expression.
|
||||
|
||||
@table @code
|
||||
@item expect-port
|
||||
A port to read characters from, instead of the current input port.
|
||||
@item expect-timeout
|
||||
@code{expect} will terminate after this number of
|
||||
seconds, returning @code{#f} or the value returned by
|
||||
@code{expect-timeout-proc}.
|
||||
@item expect-timeout-proc
|
||||
A procedure called if timeout occurs. The procedure takes a single argument:
|
||||
the accumulated string.
|
||||
@item expect-eof-proc
|
||||
A procedure called if end-of-file is detected on the input port. The
|
||||
procedure takes a single argument: the accumulated string.
|
||||
@item expect-char-proc
|
||||
A procedure to be called every time a character is read from the
|
||||
port. The procedure takes a single argument: the character which was read.
|
||||
@end table
|
||||
|
||||
Here's an example using all of the variables:
|
||||
|
||||
@smalllisp
|
||||
(let ((expect-port (open-input-file "/etc/passwd"))
|
||||
(expect-timeout 1)
|
||||
(expect-timeout-proc
|
||||
(lambda (s) (display "Times up!\n")))
|
||||
(expect-eof-proc
|
||||
(lambda (s) (display "Reached the end of the file!\n")))
|
||||
(expect-char-proc display))
|
||||
(expect-strings
|
||||
("^nobody" (display "Got a nobody user\n"))))
|
||||
@end smalllisp
|
||||
@end defun
|
||||
|
||||
@defun expect clause @dots{}
|
||||
@code{expect} is used in the same way as @code{expect-strings},
|
||||
but tests are specified not as patterns, but as procedures. The
|
||||
procedures are called in turn after each character is read from the
|
||||
port, with the value of the accumulated string as the argument. The
|
||||
test is successful if the procedure returns a non-false value.
|
||||
|
||||
If the @code{=>} syntax is used, then if the test succeeds it must return
|
||||
a list containing the arguments to be provided to the corresponding
|
||||
expression.
|
||||
|
||||
In the following example, a string will only be matched at the beginning
|
||||
of the file:
|
||||
@smalllisp
|
||||
(let ((expect-port (open-input-file "/etc/passwd")))
|
||||
(expect
|
||||
((lambda (s) (string=? s "fnord!"))
|
||||
(display "Got a nobody user!\n"))))
|
||||
@end smalllisp
|
||||
|
||||
The control variables described for @code{expect-strings} can also
|
||||
be used with @code{expect}.

@node Unix conventions
|
||||
@section Low level Unix conventions
|
||||
|
||||
The low-level interfaces are designed to give Scheme programs
|
||||
access to as much functionality as possible from the underlying
|
||||
Unix system. They can be used to implement higher level
|
||||
interfaces such as the Scheme shell @ref{scsh}.
|
||||
|
||||
Generally there is a single procedure for each corresponding Unix
|
||||
facility. However some of the procedures are implemented for
|
||||
speed and convenience in Scheme and have no Unix equivalent
|
||||
(e.g., @code{read-delimited}, @code{copy-file}.)
|
||||
|
||||
This interface is intended as far as possible to be portable across
|
||||
different versions of Unix, so that Scheme programmers don't need to be
|
||||
concerned with implementation differences. In some cases procedures
|
||||
which can't be implemented (or reimplemented) on particular systems may
|
||||
become no-ops, or perform limited actions. In other cases they may
|
||||
throw errors. It should be possible to use the feature system to
|
||||
determine what functionality is available.
|
||||
|
||||
General naming conventions are as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
@itemize @bullet
|
||||
@item
|
||||
The Scheme name is often identical to the name of the underlying Unix
|
||||
facility.
|
||||
@item
|
||||
Underscores in Unix names are converted to hyphens.
|
||||
@item
|
||||
Procedures which destructively modify Scheme data gain appended
|
||||
exclamation marks, e.g., @code{recv!}.
|
||||
@item
|
||||
Predicates have question marks appended, e.g., @code{access?}.
|
||||
@item
|
||||
Some names are changed to avoid conflict with dissimilar interfaces
|
||||
defined by scsh.
|
||||
@item
|
||||
Unix preprocessor names such as @code{EPERM} or @code{R_OK} are converted
|
||||
to Scheme variables of the same name (underscores are not replaced
|
||||
with hyphens)
|
||||
@end itemize
|
||||
|
||||
Most of the Unix interface procedures can be relied on to return a
|
||||
well-specified value. Unexpected conditions are handled by raising
|
||||
exceptions.
|
||||
|
||||
There are a few procedures which return a special
|
||||
value if they don't succeed, e.g., @code{getenv} returns @code{#f}
|
||||
if it the requested string is not found in the environment. These
|
||||
cases will be noted in the documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
For ways to deal with exceptions, @ref{Exceptions}.
|
||||
|
||||
Errors which the C-library would report by returning a NULL
|
||||
pointer or through some other means cause a @code{system-error} exception
|
||||
to be raised. The value of the Unix @code{errno} variable is available
|
||||
in the data passed by the exception, so there is no need to access the
|
||||
global errno value (doing so would be unreliable in the presence of
|
||||
continuations or multiple threads).

@chapter The Scheme shell (scsh)
|
||||
|

Guile includes an incomplete port of the Scheme shell (scsh) 0.4.4.
|
||||
|
||||
For information about scsh on the Web see
|
||||
@url{http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/scsh/scsh.html}.
|
||||
The original scsh is available by ftp from
|
||||
@url{ftp://swiss-ftp.ai.mit.edu:/pub/su}.
|
||||
|
||||
This port of scsh does not currently use the Guile module system, but
|
||||
can be initialized using:
|
||||
@smalllisp
|
||||
(load-from-path "scsh/init")
|
||||
@end smalllisp
|
||||
|
||||
Note that SLIB must be installed before scsh can be initialized, see
|
||||
@ref{SLIB} for details.
