;;; srfi-16.scm --- case-lambda

;;; Author: Martin Grabmueller

;;; Commentary:

;; Implementation of SRFI-16.  `case-lambda' is a syntactic form
;; which permits writing functions acting different according to the
;; number of arguments passed.
;;
;; The syntax of the `case-lambda' form is defined in the following
;; EBNF grammar.
;;
;; <case-lambda>
;;    --> (case-lambda <case-lambda-clause>)
;; <case-lambda-clause>
;;    --> (<signature> <definition-or-command>*)
;; <signature>
;;    --> (<identifier>*)
;;      | (<identifier>* . <identifier>)
;;      | <identifier>
;;
;; The value returned by a `case-lambda' form is a procedure which
;; matches the number of actual arguments against the signatures in
;; the various clauses, in order.  The first matching clause is
;; selected, the corresponding values from the actual parameter list
;; are bound to the variable names in the clauses and the body of the
;; clause is evaluated.

;;; Code:

(define-module (srfi srfi-16)
  :export-syntax (case-lambda))

(cond-expand-provide (current-module) '(srfi-16))

(define-macro (case-lambda . clauses)

  ;; Return the length of the list @var{l}, but allow dotted list.
  ;;
  (define (alength l)
    (cond ((null? l) 0)
	  ((pair? l) (+ 1 (alength (cdr l))))
	  (else 0)))

  ;; Return @code{#t} if @var{l} is a dotted list, @code{#f} if it is
  ;; a normal list.
  ;;
  (define (dotted? l)
    (cond ((null? l) #f)
	  ((pair? l) (dotted? (cdr l)))
	  (else #t)))

  ;; Return the expression for accessing the @var{index}th element of
  ;; the list called @var{args-name}.  If @var{tail?} is true, code
  ;; for accessing the list-tail is generated, otherwise for accessing
  ;; the list element itself.
  ;;
  (define (accessor args-name index tail?)
    (if tail?
	(case index
	  ((0) `,args-name)

  ;; Generate the binding lists of the variables of one case-lambda
  ;; clause.  @var{vars} is the (possibly dotted) list of variables
  ;; and @var{args-name} is the generated name used for the argument
  ;; list.

  (define (gen-temps vars args-name)
    (let lp ((v vars) (i 0))
      (cond ((null? v) '())

		   (lp (cdr v) (+ i 1))))
	    (else `((,v ,(accessor args-name i #t)))))))

  ;; Generate the cond clauses for each of the clauses of case-lambda,
  ;; including the parameter count check, binding of the parameters
  ;; and the code of the corresponding body.
