Hi all,
Just writing to say that after many months of being busy with other
stuff, I finally got around to finishing my Guile port of SRFI 41:
https://github.com/cky/guile2-modules
Basically, both the code and the tests are based on the reference
implementation, albeit with somewhat significant changes (as Andreas
Rottmann pointed out ;-)) to make better use of Guile's features:
+ The tests use Guile's (test-suite lib) test framework.
+ define*/lambda* is used for handling optional arguments, rather than
manual argument unpacking. In the odd case of stream->list where the
optional argument is the leftmost one, I used case-lambda instead.
+ Guile's SRFI 45 is used directly, rather than reimplemented as in the
reference implementation.
+ stream-match and stream-unfolds are complete rewrites. stream-match
uses (ice-9 match), and stream-unfolds uses (ice-9 q) to store the
unread results.
+ stream-constant uses circular-list to hold the values of interest,
rather than...whatever the reference implementation does with append
(see for yourself, if you're curious ;-)).
The long and short is that whatever functionality is covered by an
existing Guile module or builtin feature, I tried to make the best use
of it. Still, I don't know every Guile module there is, so if I missed
something, please let me know!
Before anyone asks, though, I can't use (ice-9 streams)---it works on
a very different streaming model from SRFI 41, as explained in the
latter's introduction.
Comments are very welcome. :-)
Enjoy!
Chris.
