However it's often cumbersome to thread around the output ;;; CPS program when doing non-trivial transformations, or when building ;;; a CPS program from scratch. For example, when visiting an ;;; expression during CPS conversion, we usually already know the label ;;; and the $kargs wrapper for the cont, and just need to know the body ;;; of that cont. However when building the body of that possibly ;;; nested Tree-IL expression we will also need to add conts to the ;;; result, so really it's a process that takes an incoming program, ;;; adds conts to that program, and returns the result program and the ;;; result term. ;;; ;;; It's a bit treacherous to do in a functional style as once you start ;;; adding to a program, you shouldn't add to previous versions of that ;;; program. Getting that right in the context of this program seed ;;; that is threaded through the conversion requires the use of a ;;; pattern, with-cps. ;;; ;;; with-cps goes like this: ;;; ;;; (with-cps cps clause ... tail-clause) ;;; ;;; Valid clause kinds are: ;;; ;;; (letk LABEL CONT) ;;; (setk LABEL CONT) ;;; (letv VAR ...) ;;; (let$ X (PROC ARG ...)) ;;; ;;; letk and letv create fresh CPS labels and variable names, ;;; respectively. Labels and vars bound by letk and letv are in scope ;;; from their point of definition onward. letv just creates fresh ;;; variable names for use in other parts of with-cps, while letk binds ;;; fresh labels to values and adds them to the resulting program. The ;;; right-hand-side of letk, CONT, is passed to build-cont, so it should ;;; be a valid production of that language. setk is like letk but it ;;; doesn't create a fresh label name. ;;; ;;; let$ delegates processing to a sub-computation. The form (PROC ARG ;;; ...) is syntactically altered to be (PROC CPS ARG ...), where CPS is ;;; the value of the program being built, at that point in the ;;; left-to-right with-cps execution. That form is is expected to ;;; evaluate to two values: the new CPS term, and the value to bind to ;;; X. X is in scope for the following with-cps clauses. The name was ;;; chosen because the $ is reminiscent of the $ in CPS data types. ;;; ;;; The result of the with-cps form is determined by the tail clause, ;;; which may be of these kinds: ;;; ;;; ($ (PROC ARG ...)) ;;; (setk LABEL CONT) ;;; EXP ;;; ;;; $ is like let$, but in tail position. If the tail clause is setk, ;;; then only one value is returned, the resulting CPS program. ;;; Otherwise EXP is any kind of expression, which should not add to the ;;; resulting program. Ending the with-cps with EXP is equivalant to ;;; returning (values CPS EXP). ;;; ;;; It's a bit of a monad, innit? Don't tell anyone though! ;;; ;;; Sometimes you need to just bind some constants to CPS values. ;;; with-cps-constants is there for you. For example: ;;; ;;; (with-cps-constants cps ((foo 34)) ;;; (build-term ($values (foo)))) ;;; ;;; The body of with-cps-constants is a with-cps clause, or a sequence ;;; of such clauses. But usually you will want with-cps-constants ;;; inside a with-cps, so it usually looks like this: ;;; ;;; (with-cps cps ;;; ... ;;; ($ (with-cps-constants ((foo 34)) ;;; (build-term ($values (foo)))))) ;;; ;;; which is to say that the $ or the let$ adds the CPS argument for us. ;;; ;;; Code: (define-module (language cps with-cps) #:use-module (language cps) #:use-module (language cps utils) #:use-module (language cps intmap) #:export (with-cps with-cps-constants)) (define-syntax with-cps (syntax-rules (letk setk letv let$ $) ((_ (exp ...) clause ...)
