<p>The s7 tarball includes several scheme files:
</p>
<ul>
<li>case.scm provides case*, an extension of case for pattern matching
<li>cload.scm is a wrapper for the FFI stuff described above
<li>debug.scm provides various debugging aids such as trace, break, and watch
<li>json.scm is a JSON reader/writer, but I got side-tracked
<li>lint.scm is the s7 equivalent of the ancient C program named lint (modern equivalent: cppcheck)
<li>loop.scm is Rick Taube's CL loop macro
<li>mockery.scm has mock data libraries (openlets masquerading as various data types)
<li>profile.scm is a profiler
<li>r7rs.scm implements some of r7rs-small
<li>reactive.scm implements some reactive programming macros (set!, let)
<li>repl.scm is a vt-100 based repl
<li>nrepl.scm is a notcurses based repl
<li>s7test.scm is a regression test for s7
<li>stuff.scm is just some arbitrary stuff
<li>write.scm has a pretty printer
</ul>
<p>
libc.scm, libgsl.scm, libm.scm, libdl.scm, notcurses_s7.c, libutf8proc.scm, and libgdbm.scm tie the associated
libraries into s7.
gdbinit has some gdb commands for s7.
</p>
<div class="header" id="cload"><h4>cload.scm</h4></div>
<p>cload.scm defines the macro c-define that reduces the overhead
involved in (dynamically) linking C entities into s7.
</p>
<pre class="indented">
(<em class=def id="definecfunction">c-define</em> c-info (prefix "") (headers ()) (cflags "") (ldflags "") output-name)
</pre>
<p>For example, <code>(c-define '(double j0 (double)) "m" "math.h")</code>
links the C math library function j0 into s7 under the name m:j0,
passing it a double argument and getting a double result (a real in s7).
</p>
<p><em>prefix</em> is some arbitrary prefix that you want prepended to various names.
</p>
<p><em>headers</em> is a list of headers (as strings) that the c-info relies on, (("math.h") for example).
</p>
<p><em>cflags</em> are any special C compiler flags that are needed ("-I." in particular), and
<em>ldflags</em> is the similar case for the loader. <em>output-name</em> is the name of the
output C file and associated library. It defaults to "temp-s7-output" followed by a number.
In libm.scm, it is set to "libm_s7" to protect it across cload calls. If cload finds an
up-to-date output C file and shared library, it simply loads the library, rather than
going through all the trouble of writing and compling it.
</p>
<p><em>c-info</em> is a list that describes the C entities that you want to load into s7.
It can be either one list describing one entity, or a list of such lists.
Each description has the form:
</p>
<pre class="indented">
(return-type entity-name-in-C (argument-type...))
</pre>
<p>where each entry is a symbol, and C names are used throughout. So, in the j0
example above, <code>(double j0 (double))</code> says we want access to j0, it returns
a C double, and it takes one argument, also a C double. s7 tries to figure out
what the corresponding s7 type is, but in tricky cases, you should tell it
by replacing the bare type name with a list: <code>(C-type underlying-C-type)</code>. For example,
the Snd function set_graph_style takes an (enum) argument of type graph_style_t.
This is actually an int, so we use <code>(graph_style_t int)</code> as the type:
</p>
<pre class="indented">
(void set_graph_style ((graph_style_t int)))
</pre>
<p>If the C entity is a constant, then the descriptor list has just two entries,
the C-type and the entity name: <code>(int F_OK)</code> for example. The entity name can also be a list:
</p>
<pre class="indented">
((graph_style_t int) (GRAPH_LINES GRAPH_DOTS GRAPH_FILLED GRAPH_DOTS_AND_LINES GRAPH_LOLLIPOPS))
</pre>
<p>This defines all the names in the list as integers.
If the C type has a space ("struct tm*"), use <code>(symbol "struct tm*")</code>
to construct the corresponding symbol.
</p>
<p>The entity is placed in the current s7 environment under the name <code>(string-append prefix ":" name)</code>
where the ":" is omitted if the prefix is null. So in the j0 example, we get in s7 the function m:j0.
c-define returns #t if it thinks the load worked, and #f otherwise.
</p>
<p>There are times when the only straightforward approach is to write the desired
C code directly. To insert C code on the fly, use (in-C "code..."). Two more such
cases that come up all the time: C-function for linkage to functions written
directly in s7 style using in-C, and C-macro for macros in the C header file that
need to be wrapped in #ifdefs.
Here are some examples:
</p>

<p>C-init inserts its string argument into the initialization section of
the module. In libgsl.scm, for example,
</p>
<pre class="inserted">
(C-init "gsl_set_error_handler(g_gsl_error);")
</pre>
<p>inserts that string (as C code) into libgsl_s7.c toward the beginning of the
libgsl_s7_init function (line 42346 or so).
</p>
<p>When compiling, for the simple cases above, include "-ldl -Wl,-export-dynamic" in the gcc command. So the first
FFI example is built (this is in Linux):

libutf8proc.scm exists, but I have not tested it at all.
</p>
<p>The default in the lib*.scm files is to use the C name as the Scheme name.
This collides with (for example) the widespread use of "-", rather than "_" in Scheme, but
I have found it much more straightforward to stick with one name. In cases like
libgsl there are thousands of names, all documented at great length
by the C name. Anyone who wants to use these functions has to start with the C name.
If they are forced to fuss with some annoying Schemely translation of it,
the only sane response is: "forget it! I'll do it in C".

<div class="header" id="case"><h4>case.scm</h4></div>
<p>case.scm has case*, a compatible extension of case that includes pattern matching.
<code>(case* selector ((target...) body) ...)</code> uses equivalent? to match the
selector to the targets, evaluating the body associated with the first matching target.
If a target is a list or vector, the elements are checked item by item.
Each target, or element of a list or vector can be a pattern. Patterns
are of the form #<whatever> (undefined constants from s7's pointer of view).
A pattern can be:
</p>
<samp>
<ul>
<li>#<> any expr matches
<li>#<func> expr matches if (func expr)
<li>#<label:func> expr matches as above, expr is saved under "label"
<li>#<label:> any expr matches, and is saved under "label"
<li>#<label> expr must match the value saved under "label"
<li>#<...> skip exprs covered by the ellipsis
<li>#<label:...> skip as above, saved skipped exprs under "label" as a quoted list.
<li> a pattern can have any number of labelled ellipses overall,
<li> but just one unnamed ellipsis, and only one ellipsis per pair or vector
<li>#<label,func:...> a labelled ellipsis which matches if (func expr); expr is the ellipsis list,
<li> label is not optional in this case
<li>#<"regexp"> pattern is a regular expression to be matched against a string
<li>#<label:"regexp"> a labelled regular expression
</ul>
</samp>
<p>If a label occurs in the result body, the expression it labelled is substituted for it.
</p>

<div class="header" id="debug"><h4>debug.scm</h4></div>
<p>debug.scm has various debugging aids, including trace, break, watch, and a C-style stacktrace.
The *s7* field 'debug controls when these are active, and to what extent.
</p>
<p>(<em class="emdef">trace</em> func) adds a tracepoint to the start of the function or macro func.
(trace) adds such tracing to every subsequently defined function or macro.
(<em class="emdef">untrace</em>) turns off tracing; (untrace func) turns off tracing in func.
Similarly (<em class="emdef">break</em> func) places a breakpoint at the start of func,
(<em class="emdef">unbreak</em> func) removes it. (unbreak) removes all breakpoints.
When a breakpoint is encountered, you are placed in a repl at
that point; type C-q to continue. To trace a variable, use
(<em class="emdef">watch</em> var). watch reports whenever var is set! and
(<em class="emdef">unwatch</em> var) removes the watchpoint.
</p>
<p>
These trace, break and watchpoints are active
only if <em class="emdef">(*s7* 'debug)</em> is positive. If 'debug is 1, existing traces
and breaks are active, but no new ones are added by s7. If 'debug
is 2, s7 adds tracepoints to any subsequently defined (i.e. named) functions and macros.
If (*s7* 'debug) is 3, unnamed functions are also traced.
If any tracing is enabled, you can get a C-style stacktrace by
setting (<em class="emdef">debug-stack</em>) to a vector, then
call (<em class="emdef">show-debug-stack</em>) to see the calls.
</p>
<p>
Besides debug-stack, debug.scm also defines the convenience functions
<em class="emdef">debug-function</em>, <em class="emdef">debug-port</em>, and
<em class="emdef">debug-repl</em>. debug-port is the debugger's
output port, debug-repl drops into a repl at a breakpoint, and debug-function
provides a way to customize the debugger's behavior.
The function <em class="emdef">debug-frame</em> provides a way to examine local variables.

<p>lint tries to find errors or infelicities in your scheme code.
To try it:
</p>
<pre class="indented">
(load "lint.scm")
(lint "some-code.scm")
</pre>
<p>
There are several
variables at the start of lint.scm to control additional output:
</p>
<pre class="indented">
*report-unused-parameters*
*report-unused-top-level-functions*
*report-shadowed-variables*
*report-undefined-identifiers*
*report-multiply-defined-top-level-functions*
*report-nested-if*
*report-short-branch*

*report-clobbered-function-return-value*
*report-boolean-functions-misbehaving*
*report-repeated-code-fragments*
*report-quasiquote-rewrites*
*report-combinable-lets*
</pre>
<p>See lint.scm for more about these switches. You can also extend lint by adding your own code,
or adding your functions to lint's tables, or most simply by defining signatures for your functions.
snd-lint.scm performs these tasks for Snd. (lint exports its innards via *lint*).
lint is not smart about functions defined outside the current file, so *report-undefined-variables*
sometimes gets confused. You'll sometimes get a recommendation from lint that is less than helpful; nobody's perfect.
If it's actually wrong, and not just wrong-headed, please let me know.
Also in lint.scm are html-lint and C-lint. html-lint reads an HTML file looking for
Scheme code. If any is found, it runs s7 and then lint over it, reporting troubles.
Similarly C-lint reads a C file looking for s7_eval_c_string and running lint over its string.
</p>
<div class="header" id="schemerepl"><h4>repl.scm and nrepl.scm</h4></div>
<p>There are three or four repls included with s7.
repl.scm is a textual interface based on vt-100 codes, and nrepl.scm is an
improvement of repl.scm based on the notcurses-core library.
I'll treat repl.scm first, then discuss how nrepl differs from it.
</p>
<div class="separator"></div>
<p>repl.scm implements a repl using vt100 codes and libc.scm. It includes
symbol and filename completion, a history buffer, paren matching,
indentation, multi-line edits, and a debugger window.
To move around in the history buffer, use M-p, M-n or M-. (C-p and C-n are used to move the cursor in the current expression).
You can change the keymap or the prompt; all the repl functions are
accessible through the *repl* environment. One field is 'repl-let which
gives you access to all the repl's internal variables and functions.
Another is 'top-level-let, normally (sublet (rootlet)), which is the environment in
which the repl's evaluation takes place. You can reset the repl back to its
starting point with: <code>(set! (*repl* 'top-level-let) (sublet (rootlet)))</code>.
You can save the current repl state via <code>((*repl* 'save-repl))</code>, and
restore it later via <code>((*repl* 'restore-repl))</code>. The repl's saved state
is in the file save.repl, or the filename can be passed as an argument to save-repl and restore-repl.
</p>
<p>There is one annoying consequence of using (sublet (rootlet)) for the top-level let:
if you define something in the repl, then load a file that expects to find that thing
in rootlet, it won't:
</p>
<pre class="indented">
<1> (define (func x) (+ x 1)) ; func is in (sublet (rootlet))
<em class="gray">func</em>
<2> (load "use-func.scm") ; file contents: (display (func 3))
<em class="red">error</em><em class="gray">: unbound variable func</em>
</pre>
<p>To get around this, either load the file into curlet: <code>(load "use-func.scm" (curlet))</code>,
or use with-let to place the definition in rootlet: <code>(with-let (curlet) (define (func x) (+ x 1)))</code>.
</p>
<p>Meta keys are a problem on the Mac. You can use ESC instead, but that requires
super-human capacities. I stared at replacement control keys, and nothing seemed
right. If you can think of something, it's easy to define replacements: see repl.scm
which has a small table of mappings.
</p>
<p>To run the repl, either build s7 with the compiler flag -DWITH_MAIN,
or conjure up a wrapper:
</p>
<pre class="indented">
#include "s7.h"
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
s7_scheme *sc = s7_init();
s7_load(sc, "repl.scm");
s7_eval_c_string(sc, "((*repl* 'run))");
return(0);
}
/* gcc -o r r.c s7.o -Wl,-export-dynamic -lm -I. -ldl
*/
</pre>
<p>Besides evaluating s7 expressions, like any repl,
you can also type shell commands just as in a shell:
</p>
<pre class="indented">
<1> pwd
<em class="gray">/home/bil/cl</em>
<2> cd ..
<em class="gray">/home/bil</em>
<3> date
<em class="gray">Wed 15-Apr-2015 17:32:24 PDT</em>
</pre>
<p>In most cases, these are handled through *unbound-variable-hook*, checked using "command -v", then passed
to the underlying shell via the system function.
</p>
<p>The prompt is set by the function (*repl* 'prompt). It gets one argument,
the current line number, and should set the prompt string and its length.
</p>
<pre class="indented">
(set! (*repl* 'prompt) (lambda (num)
(with-let (*repl* 'repl-let)
(set! prompt-string "scheme> ")
(set! prompt-length (length prompt-string)))))
</pre>
<p>or, to use the red lambda example mentioned earlier:
</p>
<pre class="indented">
(set! (*repl* 'prompt)
(lambda (num)
(with-let (*repl* 'repl-let)
(set! prompt-string (bold (red (string #\xce #\xbb #\> #\space))))
(set! prompt-length 3)))) ; until we get unicode length calc
</pre>
<p>The line number provides a quick way to move around in the history buffer.
To get a previous line without laboriously typing M-p over and over,
simply type the line number (without control or meta bits), then M-.
In some CL repls, the special variable '* holds the last value computed.
In repl.scm, each value is retained in variables of the form '<n> where n
is the number shown in the prompt.
</p>
<pre class="indented">
<1> (+ 1 2)
<em class="gray">3</em>
<2> (* <1> 2)
<em class="gray">6</em>
</pre>
<p>Here is an example of adding to the keymap:
</p>
<pre class="indented">
(set! ((*repl* 'keymap) (integer->char 17)) ; C-q to quit and return to caller
(lambda (c)
(set! ((*repl* 'repl-let) 'all-done) #t)))
</pre>
<p>To access the meta keys (in the keymap), use a string:
<code>((*repl* 'keymap) (string #\escape #\p))</code>; this is Meta-p which normally accesses
the history buffer.
</p>
<p>You can call the repl from other code, poke around in the current environment (or whatever),
then return to the caller:
</p>
<pre class="indented">
(load "repl.scm")
(define (drop-into-repl e)

In the repl:
(define (f x)
(catch #t
(lambda ()
(+ x 1))
(lambda (type info)
(drop-into-repl (format *stderr* "caught (+ ~S 1) in ~S~%" x (outlet (curlet))) (curlet)))))
(f #\a)
which calls the error handler above:
caught (+ #\a 1) in (inlet 'x #\a)
break: C-q to exit break
break> (curlet)
(inlet 'type wrong-type-arg 'info ("~A ~:D argument, ~S, is ~A but should be ~A" + 1 #\a "a character" "a number"))
;; that is the error handler environment
break> (outlet (curlet))
(inlet 'x #\a)
;; the environment where the error occurred
break> (with-let (outlet (outlet (outlet (curlet)))) (define (f x) (char? x)))
;; redefine f in the environment where we originally defined it
break> (f #\a)
#t
;; C-q here to exit the break repl; we return to the original repl
;; where f has been redefined:
(procedure-source f)
(lambda (x) (char? x))
The environment chain is slightly different if you call the code at the top from a file
rather than doing it all in the repl.

<p>Unlike repl, nrepl has support for the mouse, traversable, scrollable, and resizable panes, built-in ties to
lint.scm, debug.scm, and profile.scm, and various other enhancements.
Since it includes all the libc, notcurses FFI code, and nrepl.scm at compile-time, there
are no problems running it anywhere. To build nrepl:
</p>
<pre class="indented">
gcc -o nrepl s7.c -O2 -I. -Wl,-export-dynamic -lm -ldl -DWITH_MAIN -DWITH_NOTCURSES -lnotcurses-core
</pre>
<p>If that is too easy, try:
</p>
<pre class="indented">
gcc -c s7.c -O2 -I. -Wl,-export-dynamic -lm -ldl
gcc -o nrepl nrepl.c s7.o -lnotcurses-core -lm -I. -ldl
</pre>
<p>notcurses_s7.c needs version 2.1.6 or later of the notcurses-core library.
</p>
<p>When nrepl starts up, you have a prompt at the top of the terminal, and a status box
at the bottom. You can move around the pane via C-p and C-n (no need for repl.scm's M-p and M-n),
or use the mouse, or the arrow keys. If you set and hit a break point, a new pane is
opened in the context of the break. C-q exits the break. At the top pane, C-q exits
nrepl. C-g gives you another prompt (handy if you're caught in a messed up expression).
If you're in an infinite loop, C-c interrupts it. Otherwise C-c exits nrepl.
</p>
<p>If you set up a watcher (via watch from debug.scm), the action is displayed in
a separate box in the upper right corner. The status box displays all sorts of
informative and helpful messages, or at least that is the intent. lint.scm
checks each expression you type, and various hooks let you know when things
are happening in the background. Function signatures are posted there as well.
</p>
<p>You can customize nrepl in basically the same ways as described above for repl.scm.
You can also place these in a file named ".nrepl"; if nrepl finds such a file, it
loads it automatically at startup.
</p>
