11.49 srfi.209 - Enums and enum sets

Module: srfi.209

Enums are objects to represent a finite set of options. Traditionally Lisp-family languages have used symbols or keywords for the purpose, but it is error prone that you can pass arbitrary symbols which can only be checked at runtime.

The enums in this srfi allows the user to define and use enums statically, that is, checked at macro-expansion time.

There are three kind of objects involved in the enum system:

Enum type

An enum type defines all possible enums that can belong to the type. It can be created at macro-expansion time with define-enum, or at run-time with make-enum-type. It is an immutable object.

Enum

An enum is an object that belong to a certain enum type. Each enum has a name (a symbol unique within the enum type), an ordinal (nonnegative contiguous exact integer), and a value (arbitrary Scheme value, defaults to the name). Enums are instantiated at the same time as an enum type is instantiated. It is also an immutable object.

Enum set

An enum set is a subset of enums from the enums in a certain enum type. An efficient set operation over an enum set is provided.

Enum types

Macro: define-enum type-name (name-value …) make-set

[SRFI-209]{srfi.209} The high-level declarative interface. This defines a new enum type and interface macros.

The enums the enum type contains are specified with name-value …, each of which must be either a symbol, or a form (symbol value). If it is a symbol, it is used both as the enum name and its value. If it is (symbol value), the symbol is used as the enum name and the value is used as its value.

The type-name argument must be an identifier and is bound to a macro, which takes a single symbol as an argument. When invoked, it expands into an enum object.

The make-set argument must also be an identifier and is bound to a macro, which takes zero or more symbols and expands into an enum set object.

Since type-name and make-set are macros, the given enum name(s) can be statically checked at expansion time.

(define-enum fruits (apple orange banana mango papaya) fruit-set)

(fruits apple) ⇒ #<enum apple>
(fruits mango) ⇒ #<enum mango>

(fruit-set oragne mango papaya)
  ⇒ #<enum-set fruits (orange mango papaya)>
Function: make-enum-type list :optional name

[SRFI-209]{srfi.209} A procedural interface to create enum type and associated enums.

This procdure first creates enums according to list. Each element must be either a symbol, or a form (symbol value). If it’s the former, the symbol is used both as the enum name and its value. If it’s the latter, the symbol is used as the enum name and the value is used as its value. Note that enum objects can only be created with this procedure (or the high-level macro) along with an enum type.

Each enum also gets a nonnegative integer ordinal, in the order of list, starting from zero.

The optional name argument is a Gauche’s extension. It attaches name to the created enum-type. It is only for debugging aid, and printed when you write the enum type.

Enum type is immutable. Once created, its enum members cannot be changed.

(make-enum-type '(one two three))
  ⇒ #<enum-type (one ...)>
(make-enum-type '(one two three) 'counts)
  ⇒ #<enum-type counts>

(enum-min fruits) ⇒ #<enum apple>
(enum-max fruits) ⇒ #<enum papaya>

They throw an error if etype has no enums.

Function: enum-type-enums etype

[SRFI-209]{srfi.209} Returns a list of enums the enum type etype has, in the order of their ordinals.

[SRFI-209]{srfi.209} Two enum sets must be of the same enum type. Returns an enum set of the same type that contains enums each of which is in at least either of eset1 or eset2. The linear updating version enum-set-union! may reuse the storage of eset1.

R6RS enumeration compatibility

R6RS also has enumerations, but it does not have separate enum object, nor explicitly deal with enum types. Symbols are used to represent each enum, and enum types are implicitly dealt with enum sets.

Macro: define-enumeration type-name (name-value …) make-set

[SRFI-209]{srfi.209} Creates a new enum type and defines a macro named type-name and make-set. VEry similar to define-enum, except that the macro invocation (type-name symbol) returns the symbol itself instead of an enum object.

Function: make-enumeration symbol-list

[SRFI-209]{srfi.209} Creates a new enum type with the enums each of which has the name given in symbol-list. Returns a fresh enum set containing all the enums. The created enum type ca be obtained with enum-set-type.

Function: enum-set-universe eset

[SRFI-209]{srfi.209} Returns a fresh enum set that contains all the enums of the enum type of the given enum set eset. It is basically (enum-type->enum-set (enum-set-type eset)).

Function: enum-set-costructor eset

[SRFI-209]{srfi.209} Returns a procedure that accepts a list of symbols as an argument, and returns a fresh enum set that contains the enums whose names are given in the list.

Function: enum-set-member? symbol eset

[SRFI-209]{srfi.209} Returns #t if symbol is the name of a member of eset, or #f symbol is a valid name of the enum type of eset but not in eset. An error is signaled if symbol is not a valid name of enums in the enum type.

Function: enum-set-indexer eset

[SRFI-209]{srfi.209} Returns a procedure that takes one argument, a symbol, and returns the ordinal of the enum that has the given symbol as a name. If the given symbol is not a name of any enums in the enum type of eset, #f is returned. Note that the enum with the given symbol does not need to be in eset; basically, eset is used only to obtain the enum type.

Function: enum-set->list eset

[SRFI-209]{srfi.209} Returns a list of the names of the members of eset. Same as (map enum-name (enum-set->enum-list eset)).
