|
;Hi again:
|
|
;
|
|
;Here is a contribution for the Scheme48 library: the shift and reset
|
|
;operators from "Abstracting Control" (LFP90) and "Representing Control"
|
|
;(MSCS92). In his POPL94 paper, Andrzej Filinski observed that since the
|
|
;meta-continuation is single-threaded, it can be globalized in a
|
|
;register. Andrzej has programmed this both in SML and in Scheme. I
|
|
;only have prettified the Scheme definition a wee bit.

(define-syntax reset
|
|
(syntax-rules ()
|
|
((_ ?e) (reset-thunk (lambda () ?e)))))
|
|
|
|
(define-syntax shift
|
|
(syntax-rules ()
|
|
((_ ?k ?e) (call/ct (lambda (?k) ?e)))))
|
|
|
|
(define *meta-continuation*
|
|
(lambda (v)
|
|
(error "You forgot the top-level reset...")))
|
|
|
|
(define abort
|
|
(lambda (v)
|
|
(*meta-continuation* v)))
|
|
|
|
(define reset-thunk
|
|
(lambda (t)
|
|
(let ((mc *meta-continuation*))
|
|
(call-with-current-continuation
|
|
(lambda (k)
|
|
(begin
|
|
(set! *meta-continuation* (lambda (v)
|
|
(begin
|
|
(set! *meta-continuation* mc)
|
|
(k v))))
|
|
(abort (t))))))))
|
|
|
|
(define call/ct
|
|
(lambda (f)
|
|
(call-with-current-continuation
|
|
(lambda (k)
|
|
(abort (f (lambda (v)
|
|
(reset (k v)))))))))
|
|
|
|
;----------
|
|
;
|
|
;Reminder: reset specifies a control delimiter. shift grabs the current
|
|
;continuation up to the current control delimiter, and reifies it as a
|
|
;composable procedure. If the procedure is not used, shift has the
|
|
;effect of aborting up to the current control delimiter.
|
|
;
|
|
;Examples:
|
|
;
|
|
;(+ 10 (reset (+ 2 3)))
|
|
;-->
|
|
;15
|
|
;
|
|
;(+ 10 (reset (+ 2 (shift k 3))))
|
|
;-->
|
|
;13
|
|
;
|
|
;(+ 10 (reset (+ 2 (shift k (k 3)))))
|
|
;-->
|
|
;15
|
|
;
|
|
;(+ 10 (reset (+ 2 (shift k (+ 100 (k 3))))))
|
|
;-->
|
|
;115
|
|
;
|
|
;(+ 10 (reset (+ 2 (shift k (+ 100 (k (k 3)))))))
|
|
;-->
|
|
;117
|
|
;
|
|
;
|
|
;Other reminder: shift and reset are weaker than Matthias's control and
|
|
;prompt, in that they can be CPS-transformed.

|
;PS: This definition is not unlike David Espinoza's implementation of monadic
|
|
;effects, ie, it has no interpretive or translation overhead.
