How to write a macro that maintains local state?
This seems to work, it's a macro that expands to successive integers depending on how many times it has been expanded.
;; Library (test macro-state)
(library
(test macro-state)
(export get-count incr-count)
(import (rnrs))
(define *count* 0)
(define (get-count) *count*)
(define (incr-count) (set! *count* (+ *count* 1)))
)
;; Progra开发者_StackOverflow社区m
(import (rnrs) (for (test macro-state) expand))
(define-syntax m
(lambda (x)
(syntax-case x ()
((m) (begin (incr-count) (datum->syntax #'m (get-count)))))))
(write (list (m) (m) (m)))
(newline)
;; prints (1 2 3)
But it's clumsy to me because the macro state *count*
and the macro m
itself are in different modules. Is there a better way to do this in r6rs, preferably one that doesn't split the implementation over two modules?
EDIT
I should make it clear that although this example is just a single macro, in reality I'm looking for a method that works when multiple macros need to share state.
You can make the state local to the macro transformer:
(define-syntax m
(let ()
(define *count* 0)
(define (get-count) *count*)
(define (incr-count) (set! *count* (+ *count* 1)))
(lambda (x)
(syntax-case x ()
((m) (begin (incr-count) (datum->syntax #'m (get-count))))))))
Edited to add: In Racket, you can also do this:
(begin-for-syntax
(define *count* 0)
(define (get-count) *count*)
(define (incr-count) (set! *count* (+ *count* 1))))
(define-syntax m
(lambda (x)
(syntax-case x ()
((m) (begin (incr-count) (datum->syntax #'m (get-count)))))))
But I don't think R6RS has anything that corresponds to begin-for-syntax
.
