50;;; {Optional Arguments}
51;;;
52;;; The C interface for creating Guile procedures has a very handy
53;;; "optional argument" feature. This module attempts to provide
54;;; similar functionality for procedures defined in Scheme with
55;;; a convenient and attractive syntax.
56;;;
57;;; exported macros are:
08394899
MS
58;;; let-optional
59;;; let-optional*
60;;; let-keywords
61;;; let-keywords*
62;;; lambda*
63;;; define*
afab82bc 64;;; define*-public
08394899
MS
65;;; defmacro*
66;;; defmacro*-public
67;;;
68;;;
69;;; Summary of the lambda* extended parameter list syntax (brackets
70;;; are used to indicate grouping only):
71;;;
dfb49627 72;;; ext-param-list ::= [identifier]* [#:optional [ext-var-decl]+]?
afab82bc 73;;; [#:key [ext-var-decl]+ [#:allow-other-keys]?]?
dfb49627 74;;; [[#:rest identifier]|[. identifier]]?
08394899 75;;;
afab82bc 76;;; ext-var-decl ::= identifier | ( identifier expression )
08394899
MS
77;;;
78;;; The characters `*', `+' and `?' are not to be taken literally; they
79;;; mean respectively, zero or more occurences, one or more occurences,
80;;; and one or zero occurences.

99;; These two macros give you an optional argument interface that is
100;; very "Schemey" and introduces no fancy syntax. They are compatible
101;; with the scsh macros of the same name, but are slightly
08394899
MS
102;; extended. Each of binding may be of one of the forms <var> or
103;; (<var> <default-value>). rest-arg should be the rest-argument of
104;; the procedures these are used from. The items in rest-arg are
105;; sequentially bound to the variable namess are given. When rest-arg
106;; runs out, the remaining vars are bound either to the default values
296ff5e7 107;; or to `#f' if no default value was specified. rest-arg remains
08394899
MS
108;; bound to whatever may have been left of rest-arg.

121;; macros used to bind keyword arguments
122;;
123;; These macros pick out keyword arguments from rest-arg, but do not
124;; modify it. This is consistent at least with Common Lisp, which
125;; duplicates keyword args in the rest arg. More explanation of what
126;; keyword arguments in a lambda list look like can be found below in
127;; the documentation for lambda*. Bindings can have the same form as
afab82bc 128;; for let-optional. If allow-other-keys? is false, an error will be
08394899
MS
129;; thrown if anything that looks like a keyword argument but does not
130;; match a known keyword parameter will result in an error.

afab82bc 214;;
08394899
MS
215;; lambda* creates a procedure that takes optional arguments. These
216;; are specified by putting them inside brackets at the end of the
217;; paramater list, but before any dotted rest argument. For example,
dfb49627 218;; (lambda* (a b #:optional c d . e) '())
08394899
MS
219;; creates a procedure with fixed arguments a and b, optional arguments c
220;; and d, and rest argument e. If the optional arguments are omitted
296ff5e7 221;; in a call, the variables for them are bound to `#f'.
08394899
MS
222;;
223;; lambda* can also take keyword arguments. For example, a procedure
224;; defined like this:
dfb49627 225;; (lambda* (#:key xyzzy larch) '())
08394899
MS
226;; can be called with any of the argument lists (#:xyzzy 11)
227;; (#:larch 13) (#:larch 42 #:xyzzy 19) (). Whichever arguments
228;; are given as keywords are bound to values.
229;;
230;; Optional and keyword arguments can also be given default values
231;; which they take on when they are not present in a call, by giving a
232;; two-item list in place of an optional argument, for example in:
afab82bc 233;; (lambda* (foo #:optional (bar 42) #:key (baz 73)) (list foo bar baz))
08394899
MS
234;; foo is a fixed argument, bar is an optional argument with default
235;; value 42, and baz is a keyword argument with default value 73.
236;; Default value expressions are not evaluated unless they are needed
afab82bc 237;; and until the procedure is called.
08394899
MS
238;;
239;; lambda* now supports two more special parameter list keywords.
240;;
241;; lambda*-defined procedures now throw an error by default if a
242;; keyword other than one of those specified is found in the actual
dfb49627 243;; passed arguments. However, specifying #:allow-other-keys
b4ad0dda 244;; immediately after the keyword argument declarations restores the
08394899
MS
245;; previous behavior of ignoring unknown keywords. lambda* also now
246;; guarantees that if the same keyword is passed more than once, the
247;; last one passed is the one that takes effect. For example,
dfb49627 248;; ((lambda* (#:key (heads 0) (tails 0)) (display (list heads tails)))
08394899
MS
249;; #:heads 37 #:tails 42 #:heads 99)
250;; would result in (99 47) being displayed.
251;;
dfb49627
MV
252;; #:rest is also now provided as a synonym for the dotted syntax rest
253;; argument. The argument lists (a . b) and (a #:rest b) are equivalent in
08394899
MS
254;; all respects to lambda*. This is provided for more similarity to DSSSL,
255;; MIT-Scheme and Kawa among others, as well as for refugees from other
256;; Lisp dialects.
