;;; Commentary:
|
||||
;; This is a new backquote for GNU Emacs written by
|
||||
;; Rick Sladkey <jrs@world.std.com>. It has the following
|
||||
;; features compared to the version 18 backquote:
|
||||
|
||||
;;; This is a rudimentary backquote package written by D. King,
|
||||
;;; king@kestrel, on 8/31/85. (` x) is a macro
|
||||
;;; that expands to a form that produces x. (` (a b ..)) is
|
||||
;;; a macro that expands into a form that produces a list of what a b
|
||||
;;; etc. would have produced. Any element can be of the form
|
||||
;;; (, <form>) in which case the resulting form evaluates
|
||||
;;; <form> before putting it into place, or (,@ <form>), in which
|
||||
;;; case the evaluation of <form> is arranged for and each element
|
||||
;;; of the result (which must be a (possibly null) list) is inserted.
|
||||
;;; As an example, the immediately following macro push (v l) could
|
||||
;;; have been written
|
||||
;;; (defmacro push (v l)
|
||||
;;; (` (setq (, l) (cons (,@ (list v l))))))
|
||||
;;; although
|
||||
;;; (defmacro push (v l)
|
||||
;;; (` (setq (, l) (cons (, v) (, l)))))
|
||||
;;; is far more natural. The magic atoms ,
|
||||
;;; and ,@ are user-settable and list-valued. We recommend that
|
||||
;;; things never be removed from this list lest you break something
|
||||
;;; someone else wrote in the dim past that comes to be recompiled in
|
||||
;;; the distant future.
|
||||
;; Correctly handles nested backquotes.
|
||||
;; Correctly handles constants after a splice.
|
||||
;; Correctly handles top-level atoms and unquotes.
|
||||
;; Correctly handles unquote after dot.
|
||||
;; Understands vectors.
|
||||
;; Minimizes gratuitous consing.
|
||||
;; Faster operation with simpler semantics.
|
||||
;; Generates faster run-time expressions.
|
||||
;; One third fewer calories than our regular beer.
|
||||
|
||||
;;; LIMITATIONS: tail consing is not handled correctly. Do not say
|
||||
;;; (` (a . (, b))) - say (` (a (,@ b)))
|
||||
;;; which works even if b is not list-valued.
|
||||
;;; No attempt is made to handle vectors. (` [a (, b) c]) doesn't work.
|
||||
;;; Sorry, you must say things like
|
||||
;;; (` (a (,@ 'b))) to get (a . b) and
|
||||
;;; (` ((, ',) c)) to get (, c) - [(` (a , b)) will work but is a bad habit]
|
||||
;;; I haven't taught it the joys of nconc.
|
||||
;;; (` atom) dies. (` (, atom)) or anything else is okay.
|
||||
|
||||
;;; BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE
|
||||
;;; inclusion of (,atom) rather than (, atom) or (,@atom) rather than
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
;;; this or changing the syntax to ... ,(<form>). RMS: opinion?
|
||||

|
||||
;; Both a function version and a macro version are included.
|

(defmacro ` (form)
|
||||
"(` FORM) is a macro that expands to code to construct FORM.
|
||||
Note that this is very slow in interpreted code, but fast if you compile.
|
||||
FORM is one or more nested lists, which are `almost quoted':
|
||||
They are copied recursively, with non-lists used unchanged in the copy.
|
||||
(` a b) == (list 'a 'b) constructs a new list with two elements, `a' and `b'.
|
||||
(` a (b c)) == (list 'a (list 'b 'c)) constructs two nested new lists.
|
||||
|
||||
However, certain special lists are not copied. They specify substitution.
|
||||
Lists that look like (, EXP) are evaluated and the result is substituted.
|
||||
(` a (, (+ x 5))) == (list 'a (+ x 5))
|
||||
|
||||
Elements of the form (,@ EXP) are evaluated and then all the elements
|
||||
of the result are substituted. This result must be a list; it may
|
||||
be `nil'.
|
||||
|
||||
As an example, a simple macro `push' could be written:
|
||||
(defmacro push (v l)
|
||||
(` (setq (, l) (cons (,@ (list v l))))))
|
||||
or as
|
||||
(defmacro push (v l)
|
||||
(` (setq (, l) (cons (, v) (, l)))))
|
||||
|
||||
LIMITATIONS: \"dotted lists\" are not allowed in FORM.
|
||||
The ultimate cdr of each list scanned by ` must be `nil'.
|
||||
\(This does not apply to constants inside expressions to be substituted.)
|
||||
|
||||
Substitution elements are not allowed as the cdr
|
||||
of a cons cell. For example, (` (A . (, B))) does not work.
|
||||
Instead, write (` (A (,@ B))).
|
||||
|
||||
You cannot construct vectors, only lists. Vectors are treated as
|
||||
constants.
|
||||
|
||||
BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE
|
||||
Inclusion of (,ATOM) rather than (, ATOM)
|

or of (,@ATOM) rather than (,@ ATOM)
|
