    251253        - For Mac OS X, Chicken requires libdl, for loading compiled

    257259        - On Mac OS X, Chicken and its eggs can be built as universal
    258260          binaries which will work on either Intel or PowerPC.
    259 
     261          To build on Tiger (10.4):
     262
     263            make PLATFORM=macosx ARCH=universal
     264
     265          On Leopard (10.5), an extra step is required before `make':
     266
     267            export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4
    260268            make PLATFORM=macosx ARCH=universal
    261269
    262270        - On Mac OS X, Chicken can be built in 64-bit mode on Intel
    263271          Core 2 Duo systems--basically, most recent machines.  The default
    264           is 32-bit mode.  To enable 64-bit mode, invoke `make` thusly:

    266274            make PLATFORM=macosx ARCH=x86-64
    267275
    268         - On Windows, only mingw32 <http://mingw.sourceforge.net/> and
    269           Cygwin is supported (Microsoft Visual Studio is
    270           NOT). Makefiles for mingw under MSYS and Windows shell are
    271           provided (`Makefile.mingw-msys' and `Makefile.mingw').
    272          
     276        - On Windows, mingw32, <http://mingw.sourceforge.net/>,
     277          Cygwin, and Visual C/C++ (PLATFORM=msvc) are supported.
     278          Makefiles for mingw under MSYS and Windows shell are provided
     279          (`Makefile.mingw-msys' and `Makefile.mingw').
     280
     281        - When installing under the mingw-msys platform, PREFIX must be an
     282          absolute path name (i.e. it must include the drive letter).
     283
    273284        - Cygwin will not be able to find the chicken shared libraries
    274285          until Windows is rebooted.
    … …  
    282293          warnings are bogus and can be ignored.
    283294
     295        - The Visual C build requires GNU make and other POSIX
     296          utilities.  Both cygwin and msys (with the Developer's
     297          Toolkit) have the necessary utilities. When setting PREFIX,
     298          use forward slashes:
     299
     300          make PLATFORM=msvc PREFIX=c:/development/chicken
     301
     302          The build has been tested with Visual Studio 2003 and 2008.  If
     303          you are able to build Chicken with other versions, please let
     304          us know.
     305
     306          The following additional issues apply when using Chicken with
     307          Visual C:
     308
     309          - Add the /DPIC flag when compiling your source files.  Otherwise
     310            you will encounter undefined symbols when linking.  Note that csc
     311            does this automatically for dlls but NOT for programs.
     312
     313          - csc generates dynamics libraries with a .so extension, not .dll.
    284314
    285315 6. Emacs support:
    … …  
    335365        If you have any more questions or problems (even the slightest
    336366        problems, or the most stupid questions), then please subscribe
    337         to the "chicken-users" mailing list or contact me at:
    338 
    339         <felix@call-with-current-continuation.org>
     367        to the "chicken-users" mailing list and ask for help. It will
     368        be answered.

     127This chapter is designed to get you started with Chicken programming, describing what it is and what it will do for you, and covering basic use of the system. With almost everything discussed here, there is more to the story, which the remainder of the manual reveals. Here, we only cover enough to get you started. Nonetheless, someone who knows Scheme already should be able to use this chapter as the basis for writing and running small Chicken programs.

     144In contrast to Common Lisp, Scheme is very minimal, and tries to include only those features absolutely necessary in programming. In contrast to Emacs Lisp, Scheme is not anchored into any one program (Emacs), and has a somewhat more modern language design.
     145
     146Scheme is defined in a document called @emph{The Revised^5 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme}, or @emph{R5RS} for short. (Yes, it really has been revised five times, so an expanded version of its name would be @emph{The Revised Revised Revised Revised Revised Report}.)  A newer report, @emph{R6RS}, was  released in 2007, but this report has attracted considerable controversy, and not all Scheme implementations will be made compliant with it. Chicken essentially complies with R5RS.
     147
     148Even though Scheme is consciously minimalist, it is recognized that a language must be more than a minimal core in order to be useful. Accordingly, the Scheme community uses a process known as `Scheme Requests For Implementation' (SRFI, pronounced `SUR-fee') to define new language features. A typical Scheme system therefore complies with one of the Scheme reports plus some or all of the accepted SRFIs.
     149
     150A good starting point for Scheme knowledge is @uref{http://www.schemers.org, http://www.schemers.org}. There you will find the defining reports, FAQs, lists of useful books and other resources, and the SRFIs.
     151
     152The Chicken community is at present developing tutorials for programmers who are new to Scheme but experienced with Python, Ruby, or other languages. These can be found on the Chicken wiki.

     158Chicken is an implementation of Scheme that has many advantages.
     159
     160<blockquote> Chicken Scheme combines an optimising compiler with a reasonably fast interpreter.  It supports almost all of R5RS and the important SRFIs. The compiler generates portable C code that supports tail recursion, first-class continuations, and lightweight threads, and the interface to and from C libraries is flexible, efficient, and easy to use.  There are hundreds of contributed Chicken libraries that make the programmer's task easier.  The interpreter allows interactive use, fast prototyping, debugging, and scripting.  The active and helpful Chicken community fixes bugs and provides support.  Extensive documentation is supplied. </blockquote>
     161
     162Chicken was developed by Felix L. Winkelmann over the period from 2000 through 2007. In early 2008, Felix asked the community to take over the responsibility of developing and maintaining the system, though he still takes a strong interest in it, and participates actively.

     285
     286Chicken is available in binary form for Windows and Linux/x86 systems, and in source form for all other platforms. Refer to the @code{README} file in the distribution for instructions on installing it on your system.
     287
     288Because it compiles to C, Chicken requires that a C compiler be installed on your system. (If you're not writing embedded C code, you can pretty much ignore the C compiler once you have installed it.)
     289
     290@itemize
     291@item On a Linux system, the GNU Compiler Collection (@code{gcc}) should be   installed as part of the basic operating system, or should be   available through the package management system (e.g., APT,   Synaptic, RPM, or Yum, depending upon your Linux distribution).
     292
     293@item On Macintosh OS X, you will need the XCode tools, which are shipped   on the OS X DVD with recent versions of the operating system.
     294
     295@item On Windows, you have three choices.@itemize
     296@item Cygwin (@uref{http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin, http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin}) provides a relatively   full-featured Unix environment for Windows.  Chicken works   substantially the same in Cygwin and Unix.
     297
     298@item The GNU Compiler Collection has been ported to Windows, in the   MinGW system (@uref{http://mingw.sourceforge.net, http://mingw.sourceforge.net}). Unlike Cygwin,   executables produced with MinGW do not need the Cygwin DLLs in order   to run.   MSys is a companion package to MinGW; it provides a minimum   Unix-style development/build environment, again ported from free   software.@itemize
     299@item You can build Chicken either with MinGW alone or with MinGW plus    MSys. Both approaches produce a Chicken built against the mingw headers    and import libraries.   The only difference is the environment where you actually run make.   @code{Makefile.mingw} is can be used in @code{cmd.exe} with the version of make   that comes with mingw.  @code{Makefile.mingw-msys}    uses unix commands such as @code{cp} and @code{rm}.  The end product is the   same.

     321@section Development environments
     322
     323
     324The simplest development environment is a text editor and terminal window (Windows: Command Prompt, OSX: Terminal, Linux/Unix: xterm) for using the interpreter and/or calling the compiler. If you @uref{http://chicken.wiki.br/readline, install the @code{readline} egg}, you have all the benefits of command history in the interpreter, Emacs or vi-compatible line editing, and customization.
     325
     326You will need a text editor that knows Scheme; it's just too painful with editors that don't do parenthesis matching and proper indentation. Some editors allow you to execute Scheme code directly in the editor. This makes programming very interactive: you can type in a function and then try it right away. This feature is very highly recommended.
     327
     328As programmers have very specific tastes about editors, the editors listed here are shown in alphabetic order. We aren't about to tell you which editor to use, and there may be editors not shown here that might satisfy your needs. We would be very interested in reports of other editors that have been used with Chicken, especially those that support interactive evaluation of forms during editing. Pointers to these (and to any editor customization files appropriate) should be put on the Chicken wiki, and will likely be added to future editions of this manual. (We have had a request for editors that support proportional fonts, in particular.)
     329
     330@itemize
     331@item Emacs (@uref{http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs, http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs}) is an extensible, customizable, self-documenting editor available for Linux/Unix, Macintosh, and Windows systems; CHICKEN provides Emacs support out of the box, with the @code{hen.el} Emacs Lisp file. Consult the `Emacs Guide for Chicken Users' (which will be available on the Chicken Wiki soon) for information on setting up and using Emacs with Chicken.
     332
     333@item Epsilon (@uref{http://www.lugaru.com, http://www.lugaru.com}) is a commercial (proprietary) text editor whose design was inspired by Emacs. Although Scheme support isn't provided, a Lisp mode is available on Lugaru's FTP site, and could with some work be made to duplicate the Emacs support.
     334
     335@item SciTE (@uref{http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/SciTE.html, http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/SciTE.html}),  unlike Emacs or Vim, follows typical graphical UI design conventions and control-key mappings, and for simple tasks is as familiar and easy to use as Notepad, KEdit, TeachText etc.  However it has many programming features such as multiple open files, syntax highlighting for a large number of languages (including Lisps), matching of brackets, ability to fold sections of code based on the matched brackets, column selections, comment/uncomment, and the ability to run commands in the same directory as the current file (such as make, grep, etc.)  SciTE is written with the GTK toolkit and is portable to any GTK platform, including Windows, Linux and MacOS.  It uses the Scintilla text-editing component, which lends itself well to embedding within other IDEs and graphical toolkits. It does not have any other Scheme-specific features, but being open-source and modular, features like auto-formatting of S-expressions could be added.  The syntax highlighting can be configured to use different fonts for different types of syntax, including proportional fonts.
     336
     337@item Vim (@uref{http://www.vim.org, http://www.vim.org}) is a highly configurable text editor built to enable efficient and fast text editing. It is an improved version of the vi editor distributed with most UNIX systems. Vim comes with generic Lisp (and therefore Scheme) editing capabilities out of the box. A few tips on using Vim with Chicken can be found at  @uref{http://cybertiggyr.com/gene/15-vim/, http://cybertiggyr.com/gene/15-vim/}.

     367#;2> ((twice (lambda (n) (* n 10))) 3)

     370Suppose  we have already created a file @code{fact.scm} containing a  function definition.
     371

     374  (if (= n 0)
     375      1
     376      (* n (fact (- n 1)))))
     377@end verbatim
     378We can now load this file and try out the function.
     379

     386The @b{read-eval-print loop} (@b{REPL}) is the component of the Scheme system that @emph{reads} a Scheme expression, @emph{eval}uates it, and @emph{prints} out the result. The REPL's prompt can be customized (see the @uref{http:Using%20the%20interpreter, `Using the Interpreter'}) but the default prompt, showing the number of the form, is quite convenient.
     387
     388The REPL also supports debugging commands:  input lines beginning with a @code{,} (comma) are treated as special commands. (See the @ref{Using the interpreter - Toplevel commands, full list}.) We can @b{trace} @code{fact} to see how it works.
     389
     390@verbatim
     391#;5> ,tr fact

     407
     408
     409You can use the interpreter to run a Scheme program from the command line. Here we create a program that does a quick search-and-replace on an input file; the arguments are a regular expression and a replacement string.
     410

     421The @code{-ss} option sets several options that work smoothly together to execute a script. You can make the command directly executable from the shell by inserting a `@ref{Using the interpreter - Writing Scheme scripts, shebang line}' at the beginning of the program.

     443@section The compiler
     444
     445
     446There are several reasons you might want to compile your code.
     447
     448@itemize
     449@item Compiled code executes substantially faster than interpreted   code.
     450
     451@item You might want to deploy an application onto machines where the   users aren't expected to have Chicken installed: compiled   applications can be self-contained.
     452
     453
     454@end itemize
     455The Chicken compiler is provided as the command @code{chicken}, but in almost all cases, you will want to use the @code{csc} command instead. @code{csc} is a convenient driver that automates compiling Scheme programs into C, compiling C code into object code, and linking the results into an executable file. (Note: in a Windows environment with Visual Studio, you may find that @code{csc} refers to Microsoft's C# compiler. There are a number of ways of sorting this out, of which the simplest is to rename one of the two tools, and/or to  organize your @code{PATH} according to the task at hand.)
     456
     457Compiled code can be intermixed with interpreted code on systems that support dynamic loading, which includes modern versions of *BSD, Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, and Windows.
     458
     459We can compile our factorial function, producing a file named @code{fact.so} (`shared object' in Linux-ese, the same file type is used in OS X and Windows, rather than @code{dylib} or @code{dll}, respectively).
     460
     461@verbatim
     462chicken$ csc -dynamic fact.scm
     463chicken$ csi -quiet
     464#;1> (load "fact.so")
     465; loading fact.so ...
     466#;2> (fact 6)
     467720
     468@end verbatim
     469On any system, we can just compile a program directly into an executable. Here's a program that tells you whether its argument is a palindrome.
     470
     471@verbatim
     472(define (palindrome? x)
     473  (define (check left right)
     474    (if (>= left right)
     475        #t
     476        (and (char=? (string-ref x left) (string-ref x right))
     477             (check (add1 left) (sub1 right)))))
     478  (check 0 (sub1 (string-length x))))
     479(let ((arg (car (command-line-arguments))))
     480  (display
     481   (string-append arg
     482                  (if (palindrome? arg)
     483                      " is a palindrome\n"
     484                      " isn't a palindrome\n"))))
     485 
     486@end verbatim
     487We can compile this program using @code{csc}, creating an executable named @code{palindrome}.
     488
     489@verbatim
     490$ csc -o palindrome palindrome.scm
     491$ ./palindrome level
     492level is a palindrome
     493$ ./palindrome liver
     494liver isn't a palindrome
     495@end verbatim
     496Chicken supports separate compilation, using some extensions to Scheme. Let's divide our palindrome program into a library module (@code{pal-proc.scm}) and a client module (@code{pal-user.scm}).
     497
     498Here's the external library. We @code{declare} that @code{pal-proc} is a `unit', which is the basis of separately-compiled modules in Chicken. (Units deal with separate compilation, but don't involve separated namespaces; namespaced module systems are available as eggs.)
     499
     500@verbatim
     501;;; Library pal-proc.scm
     502(declare (unit pal-proc))
     503(define (palindrome? x)
     504  (define (check left right)
     505    (if (>= left right)
     506        #t
     507        (and (char=? (string-ref x left) (string-ref x right))
     508             (check (add1 left) (sub1 right)))))
     509  (check 0 (sub1 (string-length x))))
     510@end verbatim
     511Next we have some  client code that `uses' this separately-compiled module. 
     512
     513@verbatim
     514;;; Client pal-user.scm
     515(declare (uses pal-proc))
     516(let ((arg (car (command-line-arguments))))
     517  (display
     518   (string-append arg
     519                  (if (palindrome? arg)
     520                      " is a palindrome\n"
     521                      " isn't a palindrome\n"))))
     522@end verbatim
     523Now we can compile and link everything together. (We show the compile and link operations separately, but they can of course be combined into one command.)
     524
     525@verbatim
     526$ csc -c pal-proc.scm
     527$ csc -c pal-user.scm
     528$ csc -o pal-separate pal-proc.o pal-user.o
     529$ ./pal-separate level
     530level is a palindrome

     533@section Installing an egg
     534
     535
     536Installing eggs is quite straightforward on systems that support dynamic loading (again, that would include *BSD, Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, and Windows).  The command @code{chicken-setup} will fetch an egg from the master Chicken repository, and install it on your local system.
     537
     538In this example, we install the @code{uri} egg, for parsing Uniform Resource Identifiers. The installation produces a lot of output, which we have edited for space reasons.
     539
     540@verbatim
     541$ chicken-setup uri
     542@end verbatim
     543@verbatim
     544The extension uri does not exist.

     552@end verbatim
     553First, @code{chicken-setup} asks us if we want to download the egg. It then uncompresses the egg, compiles the code, and installs the egg in the local Chicken repository.
     554
     555Now we can use our new egg.
     556

     569@section Accessing C libraries
     570
     571
     572Because Chicken compiles to C, and because a foreign function interface is built into the compiler, interfacing to a C library is quite straightforward. This means that nearly any facility available on the host system is accessible from Chicken, with more or less work.
     573
     574Let's create a simple C library, to demonstrate how this works. Here we have a function that will compute and return the @b{n}th Fibonacci number. (This isn't a particularly good use of C here, because we could write this function just as easily in Scheme, but a real example would take far too much space here.)
     575
     576@verbatim
     577int fib(int n) {
     578  int prev = 0, curr = 1;
     579  int next;
     580  int i;
     581  for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
     582    next = prev + curr;
     583    prev = curr;
     584    curr = next;
     585  }
     586  return curr;
     587}
     588@end verbatim
     589Now we can call this function from Chicken.
     590
     591@verbatim
     592#>
     593  extern fib(int n);
     594<#
     595(define xfib (foreign-lambda int "fib" int))
     596(do ((i 0 (+ i 1))) ((> i 10))
     597  (printf "~A " (xfib i)))
     598(newline)
     599@end verbatim
     600The syntax @code{#>...<#} allows you to include literal C (typically external declarations) in your Chicken code. We access @code{fib} by defining a @code{foreign-lambda} for it, in this case saying that the function takes one integer argument (the @code{int} after the function name), and that it returns an integer result (the @code{int} before.) Now we can invoke @code{xfib} as though it were an ordinary Scheme function.
     601
     602@verbatim
     603$ gcc -c fib.c
     604$ csc -o fib-user fib.o fib-user.scm
     605$ ./fib-user
     6060 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55
     607@end verbatim
     608Those who are interfacing to substantial C libraries should consider using the  easyffi egg, or SWIG.

    164618The most portable way of creating separately linkable entities is supported by so-called @emph{unit}s.  A unit is a single compiled object module that contains a number of toplevel expressions that are executed either when the unit is the @emph{main} unit or if the unit is @emph{used}.  To use a unit, the unit has to be @emph{declare}ed as used, like this:
    165619
    166 <enscript highlight=scheme> (declare (uses UNITNAME)) </enscript>
    167 
     620@example
     621(declare (uses UNITNAME))
     622@end example
    168623The toplevel expressions of used units are executed in the order in which the units appear in the @code{uses} declaration. Units may be used multiple times and @code{uses} declarations may be circular (the unit is initialized at most once).  To compile a file as a unit, add a @code{unit} declaration:
    169624
    170 <enscript highlight=scheme> (declare (unit UNITNAME)) </enscript>
    171 
     625@example
     626(declare (unit UNITNAME))
     627@end example
    172628When compiling different object modules, make sure to have one main unit. This unit is called initially and initializes all used units before executing its toplevel expressions. The main-unit has no @code{unit} declaration.
    173629
    174630Another method of using definitions in separate source files is to @emph{include} them. This simply inserts the code in a given file into the current file:
    175631
    176 <enscript highlight=scheme> (include "FILENAME") </enscript>
    177 
     632@example
     633(include @strong{"FILENAME"})
     634@end example
    178635Macro definitions are only available when processed by @code{include} or @code{require-for-syntax}. Macro definitions in separate units are not available, since they are defined at compile time, i.e the time when that other unit was compiled (macros can optionally be available at runtime, see @code{define-macro} in @ref{Non-standard macros and special forms, Substitution forms and macros}).
    179636
    180637On platforms that support dynamic loading of compiled code ( Windows, most ELF based systems like Linux or BSD, MacOS X, and others) code can be compiled into a shared object @code{.dll}, @code{.so}, @code{.dylib}) and loaded  dynamically into a running application.

    236 Compiles quoted literals that exceed the size @code{THRESHOLD} as strings and parse the strings at run-time. This reduces the size of the code and speeds up compile-times of the host C compiler, but has a small run-time performance penalty. The size of a literal is computed by counting recursively the objects in the literal, so a vector counts as 1 plus the count of the elements, a pair counts as the counts of the car and the cdr, respectively.

    7201158It is relatively easy to create distributions of Scheme projects that have been compiled to C.  The runtime system of CHICKEN consists of only two handcoded C files (@code{runtime.c} and @code{chicken.h}), plus the file @code{chicken-config.h}, which is generated by the build process. All other modules of the runtime system and the extension libraries are just compiled Scheme code. The following example shows a minimal application, which should run without changes on the most frequent operating systems, like Windows, Linux or FreeBSD:
    7211159
    722 Let's take a simple "Hello, world!":
    723 
    724 <enscript highlight=scheme> ; hello.scm
    725 
    726 (print "Hello, world!") </enscript>
    727 
     1160Let's take a simple example.
     1161
     1162@example
     1163@emph{; hello.scm
     1164}
     1165(print @strong{"Hello, world!"})
     1166@end example
     1167@verbatim
     1168 % chicken hello.scm -optimize-level 3 -output-file hello.c
     1169@end verbatim
    7281170Compiled to C, we get @code{hello.c}. We need the files @code{chicken.h} and @code{runtime.c}, which contain the basic runtime system, plus the three basic library files @code{library.c}, @code{eval.c} and @code{extras.c} which contain the same functionality as the library linked into a plain CHICKEN-compiled application, or which is available by default in the interpreter, @code{csi}:
    7291171
    7301172@verbatim
    731 % csc hello.scm -O2 -d1
    732 @end verbatim
    733 A simple makefile is needed as well:
    734 
    735 <enscript highlight=makefile>
    736 
    737 @enumerate
    738 @item Makefile for UNIX systems
    739 
    740 
    741 @end enumerate
    742 hello: hello.o runtime.o library.o eval.o extras.o
    743 
    744 @verbatim
    745       $(CC) -o hello hello.o runtime.o library.o eval.o extras.o -lm
    746 @end verbatim
    747 hello.o: chicken.h runtime.o: chicken.h library.o: chicken.h eval.o: chicken.h extras.o: chicken.h </enscript>
    748 
     1173 % cd /tmp
     1174 %echo '(print "Hello World.")' > hello.scm
     1175 % cp $CHICKEN_BUILD/runtime.c .
     1176 % cp $CHICKEN_BUILD/library.c .
     1177 % cp $CHICKEN_BUILD/eval.c    .
     1178 % cp $CHICKEN_BUILD/extras.c  .
     1179 % gcc -static -Os -fomit-frame-pointer runtime.c library.c eval.c \
     1180   extras.c hello.c -o hello -lm
     1181@end verbatim
    7491182Now we have all files together, and can create an tarball containing all the files:
    7501183
    … …  
    7531186% gzip hello.tar
    7541187@end verbatim
    755 This is of naturally rather simplistic. Things like enabling dynamic loading, estimating the optimal stack-size and selecting supported features of the host system would need more configuration- and build-time support. All this can be addressed using more elaborate build-scripts, makefiles or by using autoconf/automake.

    7561189
    7571190Note also that the size of the application can still be reduced by removing @code{extras} and @code{eval} and compiling @code{hello.scm} with the @code{-explicit-use} option.

It shall be an error if the first member of a pair is not a keyword. It shall be an error if the argument name is not the same as a variable in a keyword-formal-argument, unless there is a rest-formal-argument. If the same argument name occurs more than once in the list of actual arguments, then the first value is used. If there is no actual argument for a particular keyword-formal-argument, then the variable is bound to the result of evaluating initializer if one was specified or @code{#f}. The initializer is evaluated in an environment in which all previous formal arguments have been bound.
     1641@item Required-parameters are bound to successive arguments starting with the first argument. It shall be an error if there are fewer arguments than required-parameters.
     1642
     1643@item Next, the optional-parameters are bound with the remaining arguments. If there are fewer arguments than optional-parameters, then the remaining optional-parameters are bound to the result of the evaluation of their corresponding <initializer>, if one was specified, otherwise @code{#f}. The corresponding <initializer> is evaluated in an environment in which all previous parameters have been bound.
     1644

     1647@item If @code{#!key} was specified in the parameter-list, there should be an even number of remaining arguments. These are interpreted as a series of pairs, where the first member of each pair is a keyword specifying the parameter name, and the second member is the corresponding value. If the same keyword occurs more than once in the list of arguments, then the corresponding value of the first keyword is the binding value. If there is no argument for a particular keyword-parameter, then the variable is bound to the result of evaluating <initializer>, if one was specified, otherwise @code{#f}. The corresponding <initializer> is evaluated in an environment in which all previous parameters have been bound.

    1211 It shall be an error for an @code{<ident>} to appear more than once in a formal-argument-list.
     1651Needing a special mention is the close relationship between the rest-parameter and possible keyword-parameters.  Declaring a rest-parameter binds up all remaining arguments in a list, as described above. These same remaining arguments are also used for attempted matches with declared keyword-parameters, as described above, in which case a matching keyword-parameter binds to the corresponding value argument at the same time that both the keyword and value arguments are added to the rest parameter list. Note that for efficiency reasons, the keyword-parameter matching does nothing more than simply attempt to match with pairs that may exist in the remaining arguments.  Extra arguments that don't match are simply unused and forgotten if no rest-parameter has been declared.  Because of this, the caller of a procedure containing one or more keyword-parameters cannot rely on any kind of system error to report wrong keywords being passed in.

     1653It shall be an error for an @code{<ident>} to appear more than once in a parameter-list.

    21392588Pattern matching allows complicated control decisions based on data structure to be expressed in a concise manner.  Pattern matching is found in several modern languages, notably Standard ML, Haskell and Miranda. These syntactic extensions internally use the @code{match} library unit.
    21402589
     2590Note: this pattern matching package is not compatible with hygienic macro-expanders like the @code{syntax-case} extension (available separately).
     2591
    21412592The basic form of pattern matching expression is:
    21422593
    2143 <enscript highlight=scheme> (match exp [pat body] ...) </enscript>
    2144 
     2594@example
     2595(match exp [pat body] ...)
     2596@end example
    21452597where @code{exp} is an expression, @code{pat} is a pattern, and @code{body} is one or more expressions (like the body of a lambda-expression). The @code{match} form matches its first subexpression against a sequence of patterns, and branches to the @code{body} corresponding to the first pattern successfully matched. For example, the following code defines the usual @code{map} function:
    21462598
    2147 <enscript highlight=scheme> (define map
    2148 
    2149 @verbatim
    2150  (lambda (f l)
    2151    (match l
    2152      [() '()]
    2153      [(x . y) (cons (f x) (map f y))])))
    2154 @end verbatim
    2155 </enscript>
    2156 
     2599@example
     2600(@strong{define} @strong{map}
     2601  (@strong{lambda} (f l)
     2602    (match l
     2603      [() '()]
     2604      [(x . y) (cons (f x) (map f y))])))
     2605@end example
    21572606The first pattern @code{()} matches the empty list.  The second pattern @code{(x . y)} matches a pair, binding @code{x} to the first component of the pair and @code{y} to the second component of the pair.
    21582607

    22302679@end verbatim
    22312680The notation @code{..k} denotes a keyword consisting of three consecutive dots (ie., @emph{@code{...}}),  or two dots and an non-negative integer (eg., @emph{@code{..1}}, @emph{@code{..2}}), or three consecutive underscores (ie., @emph{@code{___}}), or two underscores and a non-negative integer. The keywords @emph{@code{..k}} and @emph{@code{__ k}} are equivalent. The keywords @emph{@code{...}}, @emph{@code{___}}, @emph{@code{..0}}, and @emph{@code{__0}} are equivalent.
    … …  
    22352684The @code{match-lambda} and @code{match-lambda*} forms are convenient combinations of @code{match} and @code{lambda}, and can be explained as follows:
    22362685
    2237 <enscript highlight=scheme> (match-lambda [pat body] ...)   =  (lambda (x) (match x [pat body] ...)) (match-lambda* [pat body] ...)  =  (lambda x (match x [pat body] ...)) </enscript>
    2238 
     2686@example
     2687(match-lambda [pat body] ...)   =  (@strong{lambda} (x) (match x [pat body] ...))
     2688(match-lambda* [pat body] ...)  =  (@strong{lambda} x (match x [pat body] ...))
     2689@end example
    22392690where @code{x} is a unique variable. The @code{match-lambda} form is convenient when defining a single argument function that immediately destructures its argument. The @code{match-lambda*} form constructs a function that accepts any number of arguments; the patterns of @code{match-lambda*} should be lists.
    22402691
    22412692The @code{match-let}, @code{match-let*}, @code{match-letrec}, and @code{match-define} forms generalize Scheme's @code{let}, @code{let*}, @code{letrec}, and @code{define} expressions to allow patterns in the binding position rather than just variables. For example, the following expression:
    22422693
    2243 <enscript highlight=scheme> (match-let ([(x y z) (list 1 2 3)]) body ...) </enscript>
    2244 
     2694@example
     2695(match-let ([(x y z) (list 1 2 3)]) body ...)
     2696@end example
    22452697binds @code{x} to 1, @code{y} to 2, and @code{z} to 3 in @code{body ...}. These forms are convenient for destructuring the result of a function that returns multiple values as a list or vector. As usual for @code{letrec} and @code{define}, pattern variables bound by @code{match-letrec} and @code{match-define} should not be used in computing the bound value.
    22462698
    … …  
    22632715@code{(pat-1 ... pat-n pat-n+1 ...)}: matches a proper list of @code{n} or more elements, where each element of the tail matches @code{pat-n+1}.  Each pattern variable in @code{pat-n+1} is bound to a list of the matching values.  For example, the expression:
    22642716
    2265 <enscript highlight=scheme> (match '(let ([x 1][y 2]) z)
    2266 
    2267 @verbatim
    2268  [('let ((binding values) ...) exp)  body])
    2269 @end verbatim
    2270 </enscript>
    2271 
     2717@example
     2718(match '(@strong{let} ([x 1][y 2]) z)
     2719  [('@strong{let} ((binding values) ...) exp)  body])
     2720@end example
    22722721binds @code{binding} to the list @code{'(x y)}, @code{values} to the list \@code{'(1 2)}, and @code{exp} to @code{'z} in the body of the @code{match}-expression. For the special case where @code{pat-n+1} is a pattern variable, the list bound to that variable may share with the matched value.
    22732722
    … …  
    22982747@code{(set! identifier)}: matches anything, and binds @code{identifier} to a procedure of one argument that mutates the corresponding field of the matching value. This pattern must be nested within a pair, vector, box, or structure pattern. For example, the expression:
    22992748
    2300 <enscript highlight=scheme> (define x (list 1 (list 2 3))) (match x [(_ (_ (set! setit)))  (setit 4)]) </enscript>
    2301 
     2749@example
     2750(@strong{define} @strong{x} (list 1 (list 2 3)))
     2751(match x [(_ (_ (@strong{set!} setit)))  (setit 4)])
     2752@end example
    23022753mutates the @code{cadadr} of @code{x} to 4, so that @code{x} is @code{'(1 (2 4))}.
    23032754
    … …  
    23122763If no clause matches the value, the default action  is to invoke the procedure @code{(match-error-procedure)} with the value that did not match.  The default definition of @code{(match-error-procedure)} calls @code{error} with an appropriate message:
    23132764
    2314 <enscript highlight=scheme>
    2315 
    2316 @enumerate
    2317 @item ;1> (match 1 (2 2))
    2318 
    2319 
    2320 @end enumerate
    2321 Failed match: Error: no matching clause for : 1 </enscript>
    2322 
     2765@example
     2766#@emph{;1> (match 1 (2 2))
     2767}
     2768Failed match:
     2769Error: no matching clause for @strong{:} 1
     2770@end example
    23232771For most situations, this behavior is adequate, but it can be changed by altering the value of the parameter @code{match-error-control}:

    23812835Pattern matching macros are compiled into @code{if}-expressions that decompose the value being matched with standard Scheme procedures, and test the components with standard predicates. Rebinding or lexically shadowing the names of any of these procedures will change the semantics of the @code{match} macros.  The names that should not be rebound or shadowed are:
    23822836
