[iterate-devel] Error in array dimension declaration
by Milan Jovanovic 15 Oct '09

15 Oct '09

For example: ITER> (let ((a (make-array 5 :element-type '(unsigned-byte 8)))) (iter (repeat 1) (for a2 = a) (declare (type (simple-array (unsigned-byte 8) (8)) a2)) (print a2))) ; in: LAMBDA NIL ; (ITERATE:ITER (ITERATE:REPEAT 1) (ITERATE:FOR ITERATE::A2 = ITERATE::A) ; (DECLARE ; (TYPE (SIMPLE-ARRAY (UNSIGNED-BYTE 8) (8)) ITERATE::A2)) ; (PRINT ITERATE::A2)) ; ; caught ERROR: ; (in macroexpansion of (ITER (REPEAT 1) (FOR A2 = ...) ...)) ; (hint: For more precise location, try *BREAK-ON-SIGNALS*.) ; The length requested (0) does not match the type restriction in (SIMPLE-ARRAY ; (UNSIGNED-BYTE ; 8) ; (8)). ; (LET ((ITERATE::A (MAKE-ARRAY 5 :ELEMENT-TYPE '(UNSIGNED-BYTE 8)))) ; (ITERATE:ITER (ITERATE:REPEAT 1) (ITERATE:FOR ITERATE::A2 = ITERATE::A) ; (DECLARE (TYPE (SIMPLE-ARRAY # #) ITERATE::A2)) ; (PRINT ITERATE::A2))) ; ; caught STYLE-WARNING: ; The variable A is defined but never used. ; ; compilation unit finished ; caught 1 ERROR condition ; caught 1 STYLE-WARNING condition ; Evaluation aborted. This works : ITER> (let ((a (make-array 5 :element-type '(unsigned-byte 8)))) (iter (repeat 1) (for a2 = a) (declare (type (simple-array (unsigned-byte 8) (*)) a2)) (print a2))) #(0 0 0 0 0) NIL ITER> This is previous form expanded, looks like because of taking care for type inference it's making a array with dimension 0 with declaration that has specified dimension (LET* ((#:COUNT154 NIL) (A2 #())) (DECLARE (TYPE (SIMPLE-ARRAY (UNSIGNED-BYTE 8) (*)) A2)) (BLOCK NIL (TAGBODY (SETQ #:COUNT154 1) LOOP-TOP-NIL (IF (<= #:COUNT154 0) (GO LOOP-END-NIL)) (SETQ A2 A) (PRINT A2) (SETQ #:COUNT154 (1- #:COUNT154)) (GO LOOP-TOP-NIL) LOOP-END-NIL) NIL)) Thanks, Milan

Re: [iterate-devel] Warning on Corman CL
by Jonathan Johansen 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Hi again Iterate Developers, Sorry about the noise. I figured out that the major problem was that CCL didn't import symbols like 'iter::for into my package when I eval'ed (use-package '#:iterate) ... grumble grumble grumble. Still, I hope that you consider the small change I proposed that removes a warning in CCL. Cheers, Jonathan Johansen

[iterate-devel] generate i initially/first ... then ...
by szergling 13 Jun '09

13 Jun '09

Hi all, Does anyone know why the "for ... initially/first ... then ..." etc clauses have no generator equivalents? Refer the documentation, eg http://common-lisp.net/projects/iterate/doc/Variable-Binding-and-Setting.ht… Specifically, there's an extra note that "Also, the for in the above three clauses is misleading, since none is true driver (e.g. none has a corresponding generate form). setting would have been a better choice, but for was used to retain some compatibility with loop." I cannot see why a generator style cannot be made for them too, given the simple and direct mapping of such a form to the 'for'/'setting'(whatever) version. Is this a limitation of iterate's internal macro implementation? I would appreciate any context or pointers to this issue. Yong

[iterate-devel] Inaccurate *env* for Macroexpansions
by Russ Tyndall 20 May '09

20 May '09

Howdy List, I was having problems when using iterate with the arnesi call/cc codewalker, because variables bound by iterate were not in the environment of any macros in an iterate body form. The codewalker therefore gets that foo is an unbound variable in the iter clause below. To mitigate this, I patched iterate to update the *env* variable to reflect any bindings that iterate is going to make (in sbcl only ATM). Pulling some code from (bsd licenced) http://common-lisp.net/project/bese/repos/arnesi_dev/src/lexenv.lisp, I could probably write an implementation of the two methods I added in all the arnesi supported environments (lispworks /clisp /allegro /cmucl), but I have no way of testing these, so for now I stuck with a tested implementation for sbcl. The semantics of this are fairly straightforward, in that any variable declared textually before a macro call will appear as a lexical variable in the environment passed to the macroexpansion. (loop for foo upfrom 0 while (= foo 0) collect (funcall (lambda () (arnesi:with-call/cc foo)))) => (0) (iter (for foo upfrom 0) (while (= foo 0)) (collect (funcall (lambda () (arnesi:with-call/cc foo))))) => Before my patch this throws unbound variable foo exception / lexical environment is empty After my patch this "correctly" returns (0) Cheers, Russ New patches: [update environment with iterate produced variables Russ Tyndall <russ(a)acceleration.net>**20090520185521 Iterate produces variable bindings that are useful/necessary to macros expanding inside of an iterate body.

[iterate-devel] proposed clause (FOR var FROM start BY step LENGTH n)
by Tamas K Papp 01 May '09

01 May '09

Hi everyone, I would like to propose an additional driver clause, that uses the syntax (FOR var FROM start BY step LENGTH n) One would think that one can substitute for this using (FOR var FROM start BY step BELOW (+ start (* step n))) but this has two drawbacks: first, it is inconvenient to use this calculation every time I want to do this, second, rounding errors can creep in for floating-point values, eg: (let* ((n 1000) (step pi) (n-incorrect (iter (for x :from 0 :below (* step n) :by step) (summing 1)))) (- n n-incorrect)) ; gives -1 on my machine Here is the code I wrote to implement it, but since I am not an expert on the internals of iterate, it may be improved; or LENGTH could simply be merged into the current implementation (if that is possible while still preserving the separate counter). (defmacro-driver (FOR var FROM start BY step LENGTH n) "Iteration starting from start, stepping by step, for a total of n steps." ;; Note: reason for this macro is that manual calculation for :below ;; (+ start (* step n)) is tedious, and could also lead to incorrect ;; number of iterations with floating point values. (let ((i (gensym)) ; counts from 0 to (1- n), inclusive (j (gensym)) ; counts from start, by step (kwd (if generate 'generate 'for))) `(progn (with ,i = 0) (with ,j = ,start) (,kwd ,var next (prog2 (when (>= ,i ,n) (terminate)) ,j (incf ,j ,step) (incf ,i)))))) Examples: (iter (for i :from 9 :by 2 :length 5) (collecting i)) ; => (9 11 13 15 17) (iter (generate i :from 9 :by 2 :length 5) (collecting (next i))) ; => (9 11 13 15 17) Can you please include this (or something similar) in the next release? Thanks, Tamas

[iterate-devel] Iterate not checking(or not using functions that check) if lists are lists
by Jasper den Ouden 23 Apr '09

23 Apr '09

There are too many things on the mailing lists to see if it is already mentioned, i hope i am not being redundant. If you write (iter (for el in 'a) (collect el)), it just returns nil. This can lead to confusing bugs, as people are used to CL telling you something is not a valid argument. I suggest having it check that the argument type is correct, by either using CLs functions or looking for it. (Also for vectors and such.) It may affect performence though, maybe use a defvar/parameter to turn it on/off, or maybe you can use the safety declaration? Btw, i made a a little other approach<http://lisp-umac.berlios.de/umac.html>, but i think the iterate approach is better. (Oops the autodocumentation link is broken, the one in the menu works though.) Thanks for the great tool, Jasper
