; tree regular expression pattern matching ; by Jeff Bezanson ; list of special pattern symbols that cannot be variable names (define metasymbols '(_ ...)) ; expression tree pattern matching ; matches expr against pattern p and returns an assoc list ((var . expr) (var . expr) ...) ; mapping variables to captured subexpressions, or #f if no match. ; when a match succeeds, __ is always bound to the whole matched expression. ; ; p is an expression in the following pattern language: ; ; _ match anything, not captured ; any scheme function; matches if (func expr) returns #t ; match anything and capture as . future occurrences of in the pattern ; must match the same thing. ; (head etc) match an s-expr with 'head' matched literally, and the rest of the ; subpatterns matched recursively. ; (-/ ) match literally ; (-^

) complement of pattern

; (--

) match

and capture as if match succeeds ; ; regular match constructs: ; ... match any number of anything ; (-$ etc) match any of subpatterns , , etc ; (-*

) match any number of

; (-?

) match 0 or 1 of

; (-+

) match at least 1 of

; all of these can be wrapped in (-- var ) for capturing purposes ; This is NP-complete.
