Class Quote

java.lang.Object
  kawa.lang.Syntax
      kawa.lang.Quote

All Implemented Interfaces:

Named, Printable

Direct Known Subclasses:

syntax

public class Quote
extends Syntax

The Syntax transformer that re-writes the "quote" "quasiquote" primitive. In both cases recursively resolves SyntaxForm wrappers and resolves namespaces of symbols. In the case of quasiquote also handles unquoting.

Field Summary

protected boolean	isQuasi True for quasiquote; false for plain quote.
static Quote	plainQuote
static Quote	quasiQuote
protected static int	QUOTE_DEPTH An initial value for 'depth' for plain (non-quasi) quote.

Constructor Summary

Quote(java.lang.String name, boolean isQuasi)

Method Summary

static java.lang.Object	append$V(java.lang.Object[] args) Same as regular append, but handle SyntaxForm wrappers.
protected Expression	coerceExpression(java.lang.Object val, Translator tr)
static java.lang.Object	consX$V(java.lang.Object[] args) A wrapper around LList.consX to make it a "variable-arg method".
protected java.lang.Object	expand(java.lang.Object template, int depth, Translator tr)
protected boolean	expandColonForms()
protected Expression	leaf(java.lang.Object val, Translator tr)
static java.lang.Object	quote(java.lang.Object obj) Quote an object (without namespace-expansion).
static java.lang.Object	quote(java.lang.Object obj, Translator tr) Quote an object (without namespace-expansion).
Expression	rewrite(java.lang.Object obj, Translator tr) Re-write an expression that is an "application" of this Syntax object.

             boolean isQuasi)

Method Detail

expand

protected java.lang.Object expand(java.lang.Object template,
                                  int depth,
                                  Translator tr)

quote

public static java.lang.Object quote(java.lang.Object obj,
                                     Translator tr)

Quote an object (without namespace-expansion). Basically just recursively removes SyntaxForm wrappers.

quote

public static java.lang.Object quote(java.lang.Object obj)

Quote an object (without namespace-expansion). Basically just recursively removes SyntaxForm wrappers.

coerceExpression

protected Expression coerceExpression(java.lang.Object val,
                                      Translator tr)

leaf

protected Expression leaf(java.lang.Object val,
                          Translator tr)

expandColonForms

protected boolean expandColonForms()

rewrite

public Expression rewrite(java.lang.Object obj,
                          Translator tr)

Description copied from class: Syntax

Re-write an expression that is an "application" of this Syntax object.

Overrides:

rewrite in class Syntax

Parameters:

obj - the arguments to this "application" (i.e. the cdr of the macro/builtin invokation)

tr - the Translator that provides context

Returns:

the re-written expression

consX$V

public static java.lang.Object consX$V(java.lang.Object[] args)

A wrapper around LList.consX to make it a "variable-arg method".

append$V

public static java.lang.Object append$V(java.lang.Object[] args)

Same as regular append, but handle SyntaxForm wrappers.
