Overview

Package values implements all Scheme runtime value types.

The package provides the complete R7RS value system:

Numeric Tower (R7RS 6.2.1)

All numeric types implement the Number interface for uniform arithmetic.

Core Types

I/O Ports (R7RS 6.13)

Port types implement Port, [InputPort], [OutputPort], and related interfaces:

  • [CharacterInputPort], [CharacterOutputPort]: textual I/O
  • [BinaryInputPort], [BinaryOutputPort]: binary I/O
  • [StringInputPort], [StringOutputPort]: in-memory string ports
  • [ByteVectorInputPort], [ByteVectorOutputPort]: in-memory byte ports

Concurrency (SRFI-18+)

Singletons

Use Void for the absence of a value and EOFObject for end-of-file. EmptyList is the empty list sentinel.

Package values provides Scheme runtime value types.

var (
	SymbolMutexNotOwned  = NewSymbol("not-owned")
	SymbolMutexAbandoned = NewSymbol("abandoned")
)

Mutex state symbol singletons.

StateValue() returns these instead of allocating fresh symbols on each call. Same process-global vs per-VM identity subtlety as the thread state symbols — see the doc comment on SymbolThreadNew in thread.go for details.

var (

	// EmptyList is the singleton empty list ().
	// It implements Tuple but is not *Pair, enforcing (pair? '()) -> #f
	// at the type level per R7RS 6.4.
	//
	// It also satisfies SyntaxValue and SyntaxTuple — the empty list has
	// no symbols, scopes, or source-attachable hygiene content, so the
	// value-level singleton serves as the syntax-level singleton too
	// (matching Chez's `(equal? (syntax ()) '()) → #t`). For callers that
	// need the SyntaxTuple-typed view (e.g. so a SyntaxValue-returning
	// function can return the empty list directly), use SyntaxEmptyList
	// below — it refers to the same singleton.
	//
	// EmptyList is statically typed as Tuple (not SyntaxTuple) because the
	// common pattern `list := EmptyList; list = NewCons(...)` builds a
	// value-level list via type inference, and *Pair only implements
	// Tuple. Promoting EmptyList to SyntaxTuple would break that pattern.
	EmptyList Tuple = emptyListType{}

	// SyntaxEmptyList is the empty-list singleton typed as SyntaxTuple,
	// for use in contexts that build syntax-level lists or return
	// SyntaxValue. It is the same struct value as EmptyList; the package
	// `internal/syntax` re-exports this name for backward compatibility.
	SyntaxEmptyList SyntaxTuple = emptyListType{}

Accuracy singleton symbols — paraphrase big.Accuracy at the Scheme level. Returned by primitives like inexact-accuracy and inexact-with-accuracy.

'below — result < true value (rounded down) 'exact — result == true value (lossless) 'above — result > true value (rounded up)

	SymbolThreadUnknown    = NewSymbol("unknown")
	SymbolPrimordial       = NewSymbol("primordial")
)

Thread state symbol singletons.

StateSymbol() and PrimCurrentThread return these package-level singletons instead of allocating fresh symbols on each call. This guarantees self-consistency: (eq? (thread-state t) (thread-state t)) → #t.

However, these are process-global pointers, not per-VM interned symbols. Reader-interned 'new (created via the parser gate) lives in the per-VM Namespace intern table and is a different pointer. Therefore: 

(eq? (thread-state t) (thread-state t))  → #t  (same singleton)
(eq? (thread-state t) 'new)              → #f  (singleton ≠ interned)
(equal? (thread-state t) 'new)           → #t  (string comparison)

SRFI-18 defines thread states as symbols but does not mandate eq? identity against reader-interned symbols, so this is conformant. The equal? path works because Symbol.EqualTo compares .Key strings.

To make eq? work against reader-interned symbols, these singletons would need to participate in the per-VM intern table. That requires either:

  • Lazily interning on first use (needs access to an environment)
  • Registering these symbols during Engine initialization

The values/ package cannot import environment/ (it's lower in the dependency graph), so this would need to be driven from engine.go or registry/. This is deferred until there is a concrete need.

var SyntaxValueUnwrapAllFunc func(SyntaxValue, map[SyntaxValue]Value) Value

SyntaxValueUnwrapAllFunc is the cycle-aware recursive unwrapper.

The full recursive unwrap traverses concrete syntax types (SyntaxPair, SyntaxObject, SyntaxSymbol, etc.) defined in internal/syntax. Since values cannot import internal/syntax (layering), the syntax package registers its UnwrapAllShared implementation here at init time.

MUST be non-nil before any SyntaxVector method that depends on it is called. internal/syntax/syntax_vector.go init() sets this. A nil hook at call time indicates an init-order or import-graph violation; the methods that depend on it panic rather than silently degrade — silent degradation would corrupt hygiene or stack-overflow on cyclic data.

View Source 
var SyntaxVectorAddScopeFunc func(*SyntaxVector, *Scope) SyntaxValue

SyntaxVectorAddScopeFunc implements recursive scope propagation across nested syntax types. The implementation lives in internal/syntax (where the concrete syntax types are) and is registered here at init time.

MUST be non-nil. See SyntaxValueUnwrapAllFunc for the rationale.

Functions

func BigIntegerEqualsFloat added in v1.3.0 

func BigIntegerEqualsFloat(bi *BigInteger, f *Float) bool

BigIntegerEqualsFloat compares a BigInteger to a Float. Returns true only if the float exactly represents the BigInteger value.

func BooleanToBool added in v1.4.0 

func BooleanToBool(b *Boolean) bool

BooleanToBool converts a Scheme *Boolean to a Go bool value.

func CarAs added in v1.17.0 

func CarAs[T any](t Tuple, headSentinel error, name, role string) (T, error)

CarAs asserts t.Car() has concrete type T. Use this when the caller already holds a Tuple in hand and only needs a typed head — the tail is left implicit. For typed head + tail in one call, use UnconsTyped.

func DisplayValueToString 

func DisplayValueToString(v Value) string

DisplayValueToString writes a Scheme value to a string for display with cycle detection. Unlike WriteValueToString, strings are printed without quotes and characters without #\.

func EqIdentity added in v1.17.0 

func EqIdentity(a, b Value) bool

EqIdentity implements R7RS eq? semantics: pointer identity for all types except symbols, which compare by name/key (R7RS §6.1, §6.5). It is the single source of truth for eq?-identity — machine (the VM's promoted OpEqQ and continuation-mark scans) and registry/helpers both route through it. Living in values/ dissolves the machine↛registry import barrier that previously forced a duplicate copy. Kept small and branch-light so it inlines into the hot callers.

func EqualTo 

func EqualTo(a, b Value) bool

func ExactInteger 

func ExactInteger(v Value) (int64, bool)

ExactInteger extracts an exact integer from a Scheme value. Returns the int64 value and true if the value is an exact integer that fits in int64. Returns 0 and false otherwise.

Accepts:

  • *Integer: direct int64 value
  • *BigInteger: if it fits in int64
  • *Rational: if denominator is 1 and numerator fits in int64

R7RS defines exact integers to include rationals like 2/1 that are mathematically integers. Call sites should check for non-negativity if required (e.g., for indexes).

func ForEachProperList added in v1.17.0 

func ForEachProperList(ctx context.Context, t Tuple, name string, fn ForEachFunc) error

ForEachProperList calls fn on each element of t and returns ErrNotAList if the tail is not the empty list (i.e., t is an improper list). If fn returns an error, that error is returned unchanged.

This is the canonical proper-list eliminator — every site that walks a list and rejects improper tails should funnel through this function so the rejection logic is defined exactly once. registry/helpers.ForEachList delegates here; new code in any layer should call ForEachProperList directly when it cannot import the helpers package (e.g., machine/).

func FormatOriginChain added in v1.16.0 

func FormatOriginChain(origin *OriginInfo, maxDepth int) string

FormatOriginChain returns a formatted string showing the macro expansion chain. maxDepth limits how many expansions to show (0 = unlimited).

func HasScope added in v1.16.0 

func HasScope(scopes []*Scope, target *Scope) bool

HasScope checks if a scope set contains a specific scope

func IntegerEqualsFloat added in v1.3.0 

func IntegerEqualsFloat(i *Integer, f *Float) bool

IntegerEqualsFloat compares an exact integer to an inexact float. Returns true only if the float exactly represents the integer value.

R7RS §6.2.5: Numeric equality must not lose precision. An exact integer and an inexact float are equal only if the float exactly represents the integer's value.

func IsEmptyList 

func IsEmptyList(v Value) bool

IsEmptyList returns true if the value is the empty list. Returns false for nil values. For Tuple types, delegates to their IsEmptyList method.

func IsList 

func IsList(v Value) bool

IsList returns true if the value is a proper list. A proper list is either EmptyList or a chain of pairs ending with EmptyList. Returns false for nil, improper lists (dotted pairs), and non-list values.

func IsVoid 

func IsVoid(v Value) bool

IsVoid returns true if the value represents the absence of a meaningful result.

Void, EmptyList, and nil Semantics

The value system distinguishes three "absence/empty" concepts:

  • Void (voidType{} singleton): no meaningful result (e.g., set!, display). Canonical check: values.IsVoid(v) — handles both nil and the Void singleton.

  • EmptyList (emptyListType{} singleton): the empty list () — a valid first-class Scheme value. Implements Tuple but not *Pair. Canonical check: values.IsEmptyList(v) — handles nil safely (returns false).

  • Go nil (nil interface): uninitialized / absent in Go — not a Scheme value. IsVoid(nil) returns true; IsEmptyList(nil) returns false.

Anti-patterns to avoid:

  • v == values.EmptyList or v != values.EmptyList → use values.IsEmptyList(v)
  • v == values.Void → use values.IsVoid(v)
  • v == nil || values.IsVoid(v) → redundant; values.IsVoid(v) handles nil

Note: typed nil pointers (e.g., var p *Pair = nil) are handled by the type's IsVoid() method, which checks for nil receiver.

func Must added in v1.1.0 

func Must(v Value, err error)

Must panics if err is non-nil or v is not EmptyList. Designed for use with ForEach on lists guaranteed to be proper: 

Must(p.ForEach(ctx, func(...) error { ... }))

func NumberToComplex128Lossy added in v1.16.0 

func NumberToComplex128Lossy(n Number) complex128

NumberToComplex128Lossy converts any Number to complex128, discarding per-component precision-loss signals. BigFloat and BigComplex values are reduced to float64/complex128 precision. Intended for paths where precision loss is acceptable, such as IEEE 754 Inf/NaN guards and inexact complex arithmetic in extensions. Callers needing loss signals should use ToComplex128WithAccuracy directly.

func NumberToFloat64 added in v1.5.0 

func NumberToFloat64(n Number) float64

NumberToFloat64 converts any Number to a best-effort float64 approximation.

Behavior across kinds:

  • Integer/BigInteger/Float/BigFloat/Rational: silent precision loss is possible (BigInteger > 2^53, BigFloat with extra precision, Rational like 1/3). Use ToFloat64WithAccuracy via the spec for loss signals.
  • Complex/BigComplex with imag == 0: returns the real part (lossless since no information is discarded).
  • Complex/BigComplex with imag != 0: panics with ErrNotAReal; the imaginary component cannot be carried in a float64. Callers in extensions/math should Simplify() the value first if they want zero-imag complex inputs to flow through transparently.

func NumericEquals added in v1.17.0 

func NumericEquals(a, b Number) bool

NumericEquals implements R7RS = semantics for two numbers.

R7RS §6.2.5: The = procedure returns #t if its arguments are numerically equal. For IEEE 754 floats: infinities of the same sign are equal, NaN is not equal to anything (including itself). Cross-type Integer/BigInteger vs Float comparisons go through the exact-precision helpers above so no precision is lost; all other type pairs fall back to subtraction.

func SchemeTypeName added in v1.10.3 

func SchemeTypeName(v Value) string

SchemeTypeName returns the Scheme-facing type name for a value. Used in error messages so users see "integer" instead of "*values.Integer".

Resolution proceeds in three layers:

  1. The goTypeToValueType reverse map covers concrete types backed by a ValueType constant — one lookup, no per-type case.
  2. A small explicit switch covers types whose Scheme name has no ValueType counterpart (records, boxes, promises).
  3. IsEmptyList catches the empty-list singleton.

Unrecognized types fall through to fmt.Sprintf("%T", v) as a debugging-grade name. Adding a new Value type with a ValueType constant means adding one row to goTypeToValueType, not editing this function.

func ScopesCompatible added in v1.16.0 

func ScopesCompatible(bindingScopes, useScopes []*Scope) bool

ScopesCompatible checks whether a binding with bindingScopes can match a reference with useScopes. A binding with no scopes (top-level / pre-hygiene) matches any reference.

Both the environment's resolveLocal and the validator's duplicate-binding detection use this single function so scope resolution cannot diverge.

Note: nil useScopes does NOT mean "match any" here. A nil reference scope set means "this reference has no scopes" and behaves like an empty set — only bindings with no scopes match. Callers that want "match any" (replacing the old checkScopes=false pattern) guard with an explicit nil check before calling this function.

func ScopesMatch added in v1.16.0 

func ScopesMatch(useScopes, bindingScopes []*Scope) bool

ScopesMatch checks if two sets of scopes are compatible for binding resolution. This implements the core hygiene check using Flatt's "sets of scopes" model: A reference matches a binding if the binding's scope set is a SUBSET of the reference's scope set.

Powerset lattice P(S) (Flatt 2016, §3.2). Binding resolution is a subset test on finite scope sets. 

match(ref, bind) ⟺ bind.scopes ⊆ ref.scopes
resolve(ref) = argmax { |s| : s ⊆ ref.scopes } over all bindings

where ref = useScopes, bind = bindingScopes,
s = a candidate binding's scope set, |s| = scope count.

Operations on P(S):
  AddScopeToSet    = join (union)
  RemoveScopeFromSet = relative complement
  FlipScopeInSet   = symmetric difference (XOR in Z/2Z^S)

Invariant: {} ⊆ X for all X — top-level bindings (empty scope set)
  match every reference. The argmax selects the most specific binding.
Constrains: GetLocalIndex (implements resolve/argmax),
  GetBinding (maximal resolution for scoped lookups),
  CompileSymbol (dispatches scoped vs unscoped lookup),
  scopesCompatibleForSubstitution (bidirectional subset = set equality).
Constrained by: NewScope (each macro invocation creates a fresh scope),
  FlipScopeInSet (syntax-local-introduce toggles scope membership).

See BIBLIOGRAPHY.md "Binding as Sets of Scopes".

This ensures: - Top-level bindings (empty scope set) match any reference: {} ⊆ X for all X - A macro-introduced binding only matches references with that macro's intro scope - User bindings don't capture macro-introduced identifiers (different scope sets)

Implementation note: Linear scan with pointer equality is intentionally used here. Scope sets are typically 0-4 elements (one per lexical form: macro invocation, lambda, let-syntax, with-binding-scope). For sets this small, linear scan is faster than hash-based or bitmap approaches due to cache locality and zero allocation overhead.

func Spine added in v1.17.0 

func Spine(p *Pair, improperTail *Value) iter.Seq2[*Pair, struct{}]

Spine yields each *Pair along p's cdr chain. If the list terminates in EmptyList, *improperTail is set to EmptyList. If it terminates in a non-list cdr (improper list), *improperTail is set to that value. improperTail may be nil if the caller does not care about the tail.

Spine is the catamorphism for the initial list algebra 

List = μX. 1 + Value × X

and is the irreducible spine-walk consumed by Pair.IsList, Length, AsVector, EqualTo, and SchemeString. It does NOT detect cycles — for cyclic input, use SpineWithCycleCheck.

The yielded value pair (*Pair, struct{}) uses struct{} so consumers can write either `for cell := range Spine(p, &tail)` (preferred) or `for cell, _ := range Spine(p, &tail)`.

func SpineWithCycleCheck added in v1.17.0 

func SpineWithCycleCheck(p *Pair, cycled *bool) iter.Seq2[*Pair, struct{}]

SpineWithCycleCheck is Spine with Floyd's tortoise-and-hare cycle detection. *cycled is set to true if a cycle is detected, false otherwise. cycled may be nil if the caller does not care.

The iterator yields every cell up to (but not necessarily including) the point of cycle detection, and yields every cell of a proper or improper list before terminating. It does NOT report the improper tail — Floyd's algorithm cannot distinguish improper-tail termination from cycle detection in a single pass without an extra O(n) visited set. Callers that need both should use Spine with an external visited map.

func ToComplex128Lossless added in v1.16.0 

func ToComplex128Lossless(n Number) (complex128, error)

ToComplex128Lossless returns the raw complex128, or ErrLossyConversion if either component's accuracy is non-Exact.

func ToFloat64Lossless added in v1.16.0 

func ToFloat64Lossless(n Number) (float64, error)

ToFloat64Lossless is the FFI-strict convenience wrapper. Returns the raw float64 (callers in strict mode don't need the accuracy slot — they just want the value or an error). Returns ErrLossyConversion (wrapped, with direction info) if the conversion would lose precision OR drop the imaginary part.

func ToFloat64WithAccuracy added in v1.16.0 

func ToFloat64WithAccuracy(n Number) (float64, big.Accuracy, bool, error)

ToFloat64WithAccuracy is the primary loss-signal-aware conversion helper. ToFloat64Lossless wraps it.

Returns 4-tuple positional:

  • f: the float64 representation, saturated to ±Inf for overflow per Go (*big.Float).Float64() semantics
  • acc: Below/Exact/Above per Go big.Accuracy semantics, describing *only the real-axis rounding direction* of the returned float64 against the original real-axis value: Below: f < real-axis true value (rounded down) Exact: f == real-axis true value (lossless) Above: f > real-axis true value (rounded up) For Complex/BigComplex with non-zero imag, acc describes the real component only; the imaginary-drop signal is carried solely by isReal. The two channels (acc, isReal) are orthogonal — never collapse a non-real input's loss into acc.
  • isReal: false iff n was Complex/BigComplex with non-zero imaginary part (the imaginary information is dropped — caller should use ToComplex128WithAccuracy for full complex semantics)
  • err: ErrNotANumber (wrapped) on a defensive nil-Number input. The signature is `n Number`, so a non-Number value cannot be passed — the nil case is the only reachable error path.

No information loss from the Go big package is introduced by this helper — every signal Go's stdlib surfaces is exposed through the four positional slots.

NaN/Inf contract (per design Q-6 resolution): NaN inputs return (NaN, Exact, true, nil) — NaN→NaN is bit-pattern identity in IEEE 754, so accuracy is Exact mechanically. A *true* infinite input (*Float(math.Inf(1))) returns (+Inf, Exact, true, nil). Finite values that overflow during conversion return (±Inf, Above|Below, true, nil). Callers checking "is this a meaningful real number?" must screen finiteness independently via math.IsNaN(f) and math.IsInf.

FFI lossy-allowed callers use this directly via the discard pattern `f, _, _, _ := ToFloat64WithAccuracy(n)`; FFI strict callers use ToFloat64Lossless.

func Uncons added in v1.17.0 

func Uncons(v Value, name, role string) (Value, Value, error)

Uncons asserts v is a non-empty Tuple and projects (car, cdr). On empty list or non-Tuple input, returns a wrapped ErrNotAList with the canonical "<name>: <role>" message format. The cdr may be any Value — improper lists are accepted here; callers that need a proper-list tail should follow up with ForEachProperList.

Uncons is the eliminator for the Tuple algebra: every site that needs to peel one element off the front of a list and continue with the remainder should funnel through here so the empty-list / non-Tuple rejection is defined exactly once. registry/helpers.Uncons delegates here.

func ValidateByteValue added in v1.3.0 

func ValidateByteValue(v *Integer, name string, desc string) error

ValidateByteValue checks that an integer is in the byte range [0, 255]. Returns a wrapped werr.ErrNotAByte error if the value is out of range.

func ValueToBool added in v1.4.0 

func ValueToBool(b Value) bool

ValueToBool converts a value into a Go bool using Scheme semantics. In Scheme, only #f is false; everything else (including 0, "", '()) is true.

func WriteSharedValueToString 

func WriteSharedValueToString(v Value) string

WriteSharedValueToString writes a Scheme value to a string with shared structure detection. Uses WriteModeWriteShared: datum labels for all multiply-referenced objects. R7RS §6.13.3: write-shared outputs datum labels for all shared structure.

func WriteValueToString 

func WriteValueToString(v Value) string

WriteValueToString writes a Scheme value to a string with cycle detection. Uses WriteModeWrite: datum labels only for circular references. R7RS §6.13.3: write outputs datum labels only for objects that are part of a cycle.

}

BigFloat represents an arbitrary-precision floating-point number. Created with the #m prefix in Scheme (e.g., #m3.14159265358979323846).

big.Float natively supports ±Inf via SetInf/IsInf. NaN has no native big.Float representation (operations that produce NaN under IEEE 754 panic with big.ErrNaN instead), so NaN is tracked via an out-of-band flag.

Invariant: when nan is true, value MUST be a valid (zero-valued) *big.Float, never nil, to prevent nil-pointer panics.

func (*BigFloat) Float64Truncated added in v1.16.0 

func (p *BigFloat) Float64Truncated() float64

Float64Truncated returns the value as float64, silently rounding when the magnitude exceeds float64 precision. Use only when downstream code inherently cannot use the accuracy bit (math.Sin/Cos inputs, FNV hash seeds, transcendental coercions).

For loss-signal-aware conversion, use Float64WithAccuracy() instead.

NaN handling: a BigFloat with the NaN flag set returns math.NaN().

func (*BigFloat) Float64WithAccuracy added in v1.16.0 

func (p *BigFloat) Float64WithAccuracy() (float64, big.Accuracy)

Float64WithAccuracy returns the value as float64 along with Go's big.Accuracy indicator (Below / Exact / Above). Mirrors the stdlib (*big.Float).Float64() signature directly; the NaN flag is surfaced as (math.NaN(), big.Exact) since NaN→NaN is bit-pattern identity.

Use this whenever the caller can reasonably act on the accuracy bit (precision-aware conversions, the ToFloat64WithAccuracy public helper).

func (*BigFloat) HashCode added in v1.3.0 

func (p *BigFloat) HashCode() uint64

HashCode returns a hash code for this BigFloat. For Inf and NaN, delegates to float64 bit pattern matching Float.HashCode, ensuring Float and BigFloat produce identical hashes for equal values.

Note: NaN != NaN (IEEE 754), so two NaN BigFloats are never EqualTo each other. A NaN key stored in a hashtable is therefore unretrievable — the Hashable contract is not violated, but NaN is not a useful hashtable key.

func (*BigFloat) IsExact

func (*BigFloat) Sign added in v1.1.0 

func (p *BigFloat) Sign() int

Sign returns -1 if negative, 0 if zero, or 1 if positive. NaN returns 0 (NaN has no sign).

func (p *BigFloat) Subtract(o Number) Number

Subtract returns the difference of this BigFloat and another number.

func (*BigFloat) ToInexact 

func (p *BigFloat) ToInexact() Number

ToInexact returns this BigFloat unchanged since it's already inexact.

type BigInteger 

type BigInteger struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

BigInteger represents an arbitrary-precision integer. Created with the #z prefix in Scheme (e.g., #z12345678901234567890).

R7RS §6.2.1: Integers are exact numbers in the numeric tower hierarchy: 

number ⊃ complex ⊃ real ⊃ rational ⊃ integer

R7RS §6.2.2: BigInteger is always exact. Operations on exact numbers produce exact results when mathematically well-defined.

R7RS §6.2.3: Implementations may support arbitrarily large exact integers. BigInteger provides this capability using Go's math/big.Int.

Precision Preservation

BigInteger operations with Float preserve precision by promoting to BigFloat for comparison and arithmetic. This avoids precision loss from converting large BigIntegers to float64 (which has only 53 bits of mantissa precision).

Prior to M5 fix, BigIntegers with >53 significant bits would be truncated when compared with Float, causing incorrect comparison results. For example, comparing 2^53+1 with 2^53.0 would incorrectly report equality after both were converted to the same float64 value.

The fix promotes both operands to BigFloat (arbitrary precision), ensuring correct comparisons and arithmetic while preserving R7RS exactness contagion (exact + inexact → inexact).

R7RS §6.2.6: The * procedure returns the product of its arguments. R7RS §6.2.2 Exactness: exact * exact = exact, exact * inexact = inexact. Exception: Exact zero dominates—(* 0 x) may return exact 0 even when x is inexact. Zero is an exact value when the result is mathematically unambiguous. This implementation follows Chez Scheme's behavior.

Cost: one closure allocation per accessor call (the iterator captures p). No O(n) slice copy — yields directly from the internal slice, which is safe because *CharSet is immutable. Strictly cheaper than Ranges() for any non-empty CharSet.

Naming follows Go stdlib convention (slices.All, maps.All).

func (*CharSet) Codepoints added in v1.16.0 

func (p *CharSet) Codepoints() iter.Seq[rune]

func (p *CharSet) IsVoid() bool

IsVoid implements Value.

func (*CharSet) Ranges added in v1.15.0 

func (p *CharSet) Ranges() []CharSetRange

Ranges returns a copy of the canonical range slice. Caller may mutate the returned slice without affecting the CharSet.

Most read-only iteration callers should prefer All or Codepoints — those avoid the O(n) defensive slice copy this method performs (they allocate a single iterator closure instead, which is cheaper for any non-empty CharSet). Ranges is retained for callers that genuinely need a slice: dual-cursor merge algorithms (intersect, difference) and the union builder that uses append on the result.

func (*CharSet) SchemeString added in v1.15.0

type Complex128Result added in v1.16.0 

type Complex128Result struct {
	Value   complex128   // complex128 representation
	RealAcc big.Accuracy // Below / Exact / Above for real component
	ImagAcc big.Accuracy // Below / Exact / Above for imaginary component
}

Complex128Result captures complex-domain conversion with per-component accuracy. Field-named so RealAcc/ImagAcc swaps are caught at compile time, not surfaced only as wrong output in tests.

Zero value is {Value: 0+0i, RealAcc: Exact, ImagAcc: Exact} since big.Exact == 0 in the stdlib enum. That happens to coincide with the "perfectly converted zero" reading; callers receiving an error should still treat the result as unspecified.

See design plan §"Decision record: return shape — hybrid (positional + struct)".

func ToComplex128WithAccuracy added in v1.16.0 

func ToComplex128WithAccuracy(n Number) (Complex128Result, error)

ToComplex128WithAccuracy is the primary complex-domain helper. Returns a Complex128Result struct (named fields prevent realAcc/imagAcc swap bugs at call sites; same-type adjacency would otherwise admit silent swaps the compiler can't catch).

type DebugState added in v1.13.14 

type DebugState interface {
	// CurrentLocation returns the source location at the current
	// execution point, or nil if no source info is available.

Implemented by: Integer, BigInteger, Float, BigFloat, Rational, Boolean, Character, Symbol, Byte, String.

type Hashtable 

type Hashtable struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields

Immutable is implemented by value types that store their immutability as an intrinsic, per-instance property — currently only *String (R7RS §6.7: literal strings and symbol->string results are immutable).

It exists so callers can ask "may this value be mutated in place?" without knowing the storage mechanism. Pair and Vector deliberately do NOT implement it: they are raw [2]Value / []Value types whose immutability is tracked in an engine-scoped side-set (see environment.ImmutableLiterals) to keep the dominant heap objects word-for-word minimal. The uniform query that spans both mechanisms is (*environment.ImmutableLiterals).IsImmutable.

func (p *Integer) Kind() NumericKind

Add returns the sum of this integer and another number.

R7RS §6.2.6: The + procedure returns the sum of its arguments. Kind returns the numeric kind for dispatch table indexing.

func (*Integer) LessThan 

func (p *Integer) LessThan(o Number) bool

LessThan returns true if this integer is less than another number.

R7RS §6.2.6: The < procedure returns #t if its arguments are monotonically increasing. Comparison across numeric types uses mathematical value.

func (*Integer) Multiply 

func (p *Integer) Multiply(o Number) Number

Multiply returns the product of this integer and another number.

R7RS §6.2.6: The * procedure returns the product of its arguments. R7RS §6.2.2 Exactness: exact * exact = exact, exact * inexact = inexact. Exception: Exact zero dominates—(* 0 x) may return exact 0 even when x is inexact. Zero is an exact value when the result is mathematically unambiguous. This implementation follows Chez Scheme's behavior.

func (*Integer) Negate 

func (p *Integer) Negate() Number

Negate returns the negation of this integer.

R7RS §6.2.6: The - procedure with one argument returns the additive inverse.

func (*Integer) SchemeString 

func (p *Integer) SchemeString() string

SchemeString returns the Scheme representation of this integer.

func (*Integer) Sign added in v1.1.0 

func (p *Integer) Sign() int

Sign returns -1 if negative, 0 if zero, or 1 if positive.

func (*Integer) Subtract 

func (p *Integer) Subtract(o Number) Number

Subtract returns the difference of this integer and another number.

R7RS §6.2.6: The - procedure returns the difference of its arguments. R7RS §6.2.2 Exactness: exact - exact = exact, exact - inexact = inexact.

func (*Integer) ToExact added in v1.1.0 

func (p *Integer) ToExact() (Number, error)

ToExact returns this Integer unchanged since it is already exact.

R7RS §6.2.6: exact returns an exact representation of its argument.

func (*Integer) ToInexact added in v1.1.0 

func (p *Integer) ToInexact() Number

ToInexact converts this Integer to an inexact Float.

R7RS §6.2.6: inexact returns an inexact representation of its argument.

type JoinTimeoutException 

type JoinTimeoutException struct{}

JoinTimeoutException is raised when thread-join! times out

func (*JoinTimeoutException) Error 

func (p *JoinTimeoutException) Error() string

type Mutex 

type Mutex struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Mutex represents a Scheme mutex (SRFI-18)

func NewMutex 

func NewMutex(name string) *Mutex

NewMutex creates a new unlocked mutex

func (*Mutex) EqualTo 

func (p *Mutex) EqualTo(v Value) bool

EqualTo returns true if the mutexes are the same object.

func (*Mutex) ID 

func (p *Mutex) ID() uint64

ID returns the mutex's unique identifier

func (*Mutex) IsVoid 

func (p *Mutex) IsVoid() bool

IsVoid returns true if the mutex is nil.

func (*Mutex) Lock 

func (p *Mutex) Lock(timeout *time.Duration, owner *Thread) (bool, error)

Lock acquires the mutex with optional timeout and owner. Returns true if acquired, false if timeout.

When acquired, state becomes MutexLocked and owner is set to whatever the caller supplied (nil produces a "locked-but-unowned" mutex, valid per SRFI-18). Acquiring an abandoned mutex succeeds but returns *AbandonedMutexException so the caller can observe the prior owner's termination.

func (*Mutex) MarkAbandoned 

func (p *Mutex) MarkAbandoned()

MarkAbandoned marks the mutex as abandoned (called when owner thread terminates). Only mutexes in MutexLocked state can be abandoned — unlocked and already- abandoned mutexes are no-ops.

func (*Mutex) Name 

func (p *Mutex) Name() string

Name returns the mutex's name

func (*Mutex) Owner 

func (p *Mutex) Owner() *Thread

Owner returns the current owner thread, or nil if not owned

func (*Mutex) SchemeString 

func (p *Mutex) SchemeString() string

SchemeString returns the Scheme representation of the mutex.

func (*Mutex) SetSpecific 

func (p *Mutex) SetSpecific(v Value)

SetSpecific sets the mutex's specific field

func (*Mutex) Specific 

func (p *Mutex) Specific() Value

Specific returns the mutex's specific field

func (*Mutex) State 

func (p *Mutex) State() MutexState

State returns the current state of the mutex

func (*Mutex) StateValue 

func (p *Mutex) StateValue() Value

StateValue returns the state as a Scheme value per R7RS SRFI-18. Returns package-level singletons for symbol states so that repeated calls return the same pointer: (eq? (mutex-state m) (mutex-state m)) → #t. See the doc comment on SymbolThreadNew in thread.go for eq? vs equal? caveats. Returns: 'not-owned, 'abandoned, or the owner thread.

SRFI-18 collapses "unlocked" and "locked without owner" into the single 'not-owned symbol — they are indistinguishable to Scheme. The Go-side distinction is preserved by MutexState (Unlocked is acquirable without blocking; Locked-without-owner is held by a non-thread caller).

func (*Mutex) Unlock 

func (p *Mutex) Unlock(cv *ConditionVariable, timeout *time.Duration) bool

Unlock releases the mutex If cv is provided, atomically unlock and wait on condition variable

type MutexState 

type MutexState int

MutexState represents the lifecycle state of a mutex.

The owned-vs-not-owned distinction (R7RS SRFI-18) is NOT a state — it's the contents of the owner field. Splitting "locked with owner" and "locked without owner" into separate states would force every site that reads state to also know which states permit owner != nil. Instead, MutexLocked is one state; owner = nil iff acquired without owner.

Invariants enforced by Lock/Unlock/MarkAbandoned: 

state == MutexUnlocked   ⇒ owner == nil
state == MutexLocked     — owner is the identity (nil ⇒ "not-owned")
state == MutexAbandoned  ⇒ owner == nil

const (
	MutexUnlocked  MutexState = iota // Not locked
	MutexLocked                      // Held
	MutexAbandoned                   // Owner terminated while holding lock
)

MutexState constants. See the invariant block above for state↔owner relations.

func (MutexState) String 

func (p MutexState) String() string

type NamedTypeConstraint added in v1.12.0 

type NamedTypeConstraint struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

NamedTypeConstraint represents an unresolved type name from a docstring (e.g., "point"). It is documentation-only — Check always fails because the constraint has not been resolved to a concrete type.

func NewNamedTypeConstraint added in v1.12.0 

func NewNamedTypeConstraint(name string) *NamedTypeConstraint

NewNamedTypeConstraint creates a NamedTypeConstraint with the given name.

func (*NamedTypeConstraint) Check added in v1.12.0 

func (p *NamedTypeConstraint) Check(v Value) (any, bool, error)

Check always fails — the constraint is unresolved and cannot validate values.

func (*NamedTypeConstraint) Description added in v1.12.0 

func (p *NamedTypeConstraint) Description() string

Description returns the unresolved type name as its description.

func (*NamedTypeConstraint) Name added in v1.12.0 

func (p *NamedTypeConstraint) Name() string

Name returns the unresolved type name.

type NativeError 

type NativeError struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

NativeError represents an R7RS error object created by (error ...). It contains a message string and a list of irritant objects that provide additional context about the error. It can also wrap a Go error.

func NewErrorObject 

func NewErrorObject(message string, irritants ...Value) *NativeError

NewErrorObject creates a new error object with the given message and irritants.

func NewErrorObjectWithCause 

func NewErrorObjectWithCause(message string, cause error, irritants ...Value) *NativeError

NewErrorObjectWithCause creates a new error object that wraps a Go error. This preserves the original error for debugging while providing R7RS-compliant exception handling. The wrapped error can be retrieved with Datum() or Unwrap().

func NewErrorObjectWithCauseAndKind 

func NewErrorObjectWithCauseAndKind(message string, cause error, kind NativeErrorKind, irritants ...Value) *NativeError

NewErrorObjectWithCauseAndKind creates a new error object that wraps a Go error with a specific kind. R7RS §6.11: The kind determines which error predicate (file-error?, read-error?) matches.

func NewFileError 

func NewFileError(message string, irritants ...Value) *NativeError

NewFileError creates a new file error object with the given message and irritants. R7RS §6.11: file-error? predicate checks for errors during file operations.

func NewNativeError 

func NewNativeError(msg string) *NativeError

NewNativeError creates a new native error with the given message.

func NewReadError 

func NewReadError(message string, irritants ...Value) *NativeError

NewReadError creates a new read error object with the given message and irritants. R7RS §6.11: read-error? predicate checks for errors during reading.

func (*NativeError) EqualTo 

func (p *NativeError) EqualTo(v Value) bool

EqualTo returns true if this error object is equal to the given value.

func (*NativeError) Error

func (*NativeError) Kind 

func (p *NativeError) Kind() NativeErrorKind

Kind returns the error kind for R7RS error predicates.

func (*NativeError) Message 

func (p *NativeError) Message() *String

Message returns the error message string.

func (p *NativeError) SetSourceLocation(loc string)

SetSourceLocation sets the source location string.

func (*NativeError) SetStackTraceValue added in v1.14.244 

func (p *NativeError) SetStackTraceValue(v Value)

SetStackTraceValue sets the stack trace Scheme value.

func (*NativeError) SourceLocation added in v1.14.244 

func (p *NativeError) SourceLocation() string

SourceLocation returns the formatted source location string, or "".

func (*NativeError) StackTraceValue added in v1.14.244 

func (p *NativeError) StackTraceValue() Value

StackTraceValue returns the stack trace as a Scheme value, or nil.

func (*NativeError) Unwrap 

func (p *NativeError) Unwrap() error

type NativeErrorKind 

type NativeErrorKind int

NativeErrorKind represents the type of an error object for R7RS error predicates. 

const (
	// NativeErrorKindGeneric is a generic error (default).
	NativeErrorKindGeneric NativeErrorKind = iota
	// NativeErrorKindRead is a read error (from reading data).
	NativeErrorKindRead
	// NativeErrorKindFile is a file error (from file operations).
	NativeErrorKindFile
)

type Number 

type Number interface {
	Value
	Kind() NumericKind
	Add(Number) Number
	Subtract(Number) Number
	Multiply(Number) Number
	Divide(Number) (Number, error)
	Negate() Number
	Abs() Number
	ToExact() (Number, error)
	ToInexact() Number
	IsZero() bool
	IsExact() bool
	IsInteger() bool  // R7RS §6.2.6: is this an integer value?
	IsRational() bool // R7RS §6.2.6: is this a rational value?
	IsFinite() bool   // R7RS §6.2.6: is this a finite number?
	IsNaN() bool      // R7RS §6.2.6: is this NaN?
	LessThan(Number) bool
	Compare(Number) int
}

Number represents a numeric value in the Scheme numeric tower.

R7RS §6.2.1: Numbers form a tower: number ⊃ complex ⊃ real ⊃ rational ⊃ integer. All numeric types implement this interface for uniform arithmetic operations.

Error signaling

Arithmetic methods signal errors by panicking with a static sentinel error (e.g., werr.ErrDivisionByZero, werr.ErrNotANumber). This follows the same convention used by Go's math/big package, where (*big.Int).Div, (*big.Int).QuoRem, and (*big.Float).Quo all panic on division by zero, and mirrors Go's own runtime behavior for built-in integer division.

Divide returns (Number, error) so callers can propagate division-by-zero without panic/recover. All other arithmetic methods remain single-return because they cannot fail.

func Promote added in v1.5.0 

func Promote(n Number, target NumericKind) Number

Promote converts a Number to the target NumericKind using the lossless promoter table. Panics if no promotion path exists (indicates a bug in the promotion table — all reachable paths should be populated).

func Simplify 

func Simplify(n Number) Number

Simplify attempts to reduce a number to a simpler type without losing information.

Simplification rules:

  • BigComplex with zero imaginary → real part (cross-kind; handled here)
  • Complex with zero imaginary → Float → possibly Integer (cross-kind; handled here)
  • All other per-kind descents are delegated to the NumericTypeSpec.SimplifyDown function registered for each kind (see values/numeric_registry.go).

Returns nil unchanged (callers may pass nil from generic Value paths).

type NumericKind added in v1.5.0 

type NumericKind uint8

NumericKind identifies a concrete numeric type for dispatch table indexing.

Used by the receiver-centric dispatch tables in each numeric type file to replace 7-way type switches with O(1) array lookups.

ADDING A NEW NUMERIC TYPE requires updates in these locations:

  1. values/numeric_kind.go — add KindXxx constant (this file); bump numKinds implicitly
  2. values/xxx.go — new type file: implement Number interface, declare [numKinds] dispatch tables, register via init() calling makeXxxDispatch helpers
  3. values/xxx.go — register a NumericTypeSpec in the same init() via registerNumericSpec(KindXxx, NumericTypeSpec{...}). Provide the per-kind helper functions (xxxSimplifyDown, xxxToFloat64WithAccuracy, and either xxxToComplex128WithAccuracy or set isAlwaysReal=true to have the registry auto-derive the complex helper via liftRealToComplex128). Provide the schemeName + isAlwaysExact metadata. The registry-driven cold-path functions (Simplify, ExactnessOf, NumberToFloat64, NumberToComplex128Lossy) pick up the new kind automatically.
  4. values/promotion.go — add row/column in promotionTable and promoter
  5. values/numeric_dispatch_test.go — add new dispatch tables to TestAllDispatchEntriesPopulated
  6. values/numeric_registry_test.go — add the new kind to equivalenceExemplars()
  7. registry/helpers/value_conv.go — update ToComplex128, ToFloat64
  8. extensions/math/prim_conversion.go — update exact->inexact, number->string, etc.
  9. extensions/math/prim_complex.go — update make-rectangular, make-polar, etc.
  10. internal/parser/parser_number.go — if the type can be parsed from source
  11. registry/helpers/equality.go — update Eqv if the type has special eqv? semantics

Several historically-manual cold paths are now derived from the item-3 registry (Simplify, ExactnessOf, NumberToFloat64, NumberToComplex128Lossy), so the registration in item 3 is usually enough — the surviving sites above are the ones the registry does not yet cover.

The dispatch tables (item 2) are tested by TestAllDispatchEntriesPopulated. The NumericTypeSpec registration (item 3) is enforced eagerly at package init: a missing or incomplete registration panics with ErrNumericRegistry at process startup. 

const (
	KindInteger NumericKind = iota
	KindBigInteger
	KindFloat
	KindBigFloat
	KindRational
	KindComplex
	KindBigComplex
)

func PromotionResultKind added in v1.5.0 

func PromotionResultKind(kindA, kindB NumericKind) NumericKind

PromotionResultKind returns the result type when operands of kindA and kindB are combined in an arithmetic operation. The result is the least upper bound (LUB) in the promotion lattice — symmetric and lossless.

type NumericTypeSpec added in v1.16.0 

type NumericTypeSpec struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

NumericTypeSpec records the cold-path properties of one numeric kind.

Each of the seven concrete numeric types registers exactly one spec via registerNumericSpec() in its init() function. Fields are unexported; callers use the getter methods.

The three function fields are non-nil invariants enforced by registerNumericSpec — bottom-of-chain kinds bind an identity simplifyDown rather than nil. Real-only kinds may omit toComplex128WithAccuracy and set isAlwaysReal=true; registerNumericSpec will auto-derive it from toFloat64WithAccuracy via liftRealToComplex128.

func LookupNumericSpec added in v1.16.0 

func LookupNumericSpec(kind NumericKind) *NumericTypeSpec

LookupNumericSpec returns the NumericTypeSpec for the given kind. Bounds-checked: out-of-range kind panics with ErrNumericRegistry rather than producing a Go runtime "index out of range" panic. Consulted by the cold-path helpers (Simplify, ExactnessOf, NumberToFloat64, NumberToComplex128Lossy). NumberToFloat64/NumberToComplex128Lossy are also reached from the IEEE 754 special-value guard inside the arithmetic dispatch closures; those fire only when a Float operand is Inf/NaN, not on every arithmetic op.

func (*NumericTypeSpec) IsAlwaysExact added in v1.16.0 

func (p *NumericTypeSpec) IsAlwaysExact() bool

IsAlwaysExact reports whether every value of this kind is exact. BigComplex returns false; per-instance exactness is determined by BigComplex.IsExact() (called by ExactnessOf).

func (*NumericTypeSpec) SchemeName added in v1.16.0 

func (p *NumericTypeSpec) SchemeName() string

SchemeName returns the Scheme type name for this numeric kind (e.g. "integer").

func (*NumericTypeSpec) SimplifyDown added in v1.16.0 

func (p *NumericTypeSpec) SimplifyDown(n Number) Number

SimplifyDown reduces n to the simplest in-kind representation in a single call (multi-step descents are inlined per-kind: e.g. BigFloat→BigInteger→Integer). Returns n unchanged if no simpler representation exists. The cross-kind BigComplex/Complex shortcuts live in Simplify() itself, not here.

func (*NumericTypeSpec) ToComplex128WithAccuracy added in v1.16.0 

func (p *NumericTypeSpec) ToComplex128WithAccuracy(n Number) Complex128Result

ToComplex128WithAccuracy dispatches via the registered closure for the kind. Returns a Complex128Result with per-component accuracy. For real-only inputs, res.ImagAcc is big.Exact.

func (*NumericTypeSpec) ToFloat64WithAccuracy added in v1.16.0 

func (p *NumericTypeSpec) ToFloat64WithAccuracy(n Number) (float64, big.Accuracy, bool)

ToFloat64WithAccuracy dispatches via the registered closure for the kind. Returns (value, accuracy, isReal). The accuracy slot is Below/Exact/Above per Go big.Accuracy semantics. isReal is false iff the input was a Complex/BigComplex with non-zero imaginary part (the imaginary component is dropped; callers should use ToComplex128WithAccuracy for full fidelity).

type Once 

type Once struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Once wraps sync.Once for Scheme

func NewOnce 

func NewOnce() *Once

NewOnce creates a new Once

func (*Once) Do 

func (p *Once) Do(f func()) bool

Do calls the function only once Returns true if this call executed the function, false if it was already called

func (*Once) Done 

func (p *Once) Done() bool

Done returns true if Do has been called

func (*Once) EqualTo 

func (p *Once) EqualTo(v Value) bool

EqualTo returns true if the onces are the same object.

func (*Once) ID 

func (p *Once) ID() uint64

ID returns the Once's unique identifier

func (*Once) IsVoid 

func (p *Once) IsVoid() bool

IsVoid returns true if the once is nil.

func (*Once) SchemeString 

func (p *Once) SchemeString() string

SchemeString returns the Scheme representation of the once.

type OpaqueValue added in v1.9.1 

type OpaqueValue struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

OpaqueValue wraps an arbitrary Go object as a Scheme value. Construction is Go-only via NewOpaqueValue. The inner value is accessible only from Go via Unwrap.

func NewOpaqueValue added in v1.9.1 

func NewOpaqueValue(tag string, val any) *OpaqueValue

NewOpaqueValue creates a new opaque value with the given tag and inner value.

func (*OpaqueValue) EqualTo added in v1.9.1 

func (p *OpaqueValue) EqualTo(v Value) bool

EqualTo returns true only if both are the same object (identity equality).

func (*OpaqueValue) IsVoid added in v1.9.1 

func (p *OpaqueValue) IsVoid() bool

IsVoid returns true if this opaque value is nil.

func (*OpaqueValue) OpaqueTag added in v1.9.1 

func (p *OpaqueValue) OpaqueTag() string

OpaqueTag returns the tag string identifying this opaque value's kind.

func (*OpaqueValue) SchemeString added in v1.9.1 

func (p *OpaqueValue) SchemeString() string

SchemeString returns the Scheme representation of this opaque value.

func (*OpaqueValue) Unwrap added in v1.9.1 

func (p *OpaqueValue) Unwrap() any

Unwrap returns the inner Go value. Go-only — not exposed to Scheme.

type OriginInfo added in v1.16.0 

type OriginInfo struct {
	Identifier       string         // Macro name that caused expansion (e.g., "let", "my-macro")
	ApplicationID    uint64         // Unique ID for this macro invocation (from intro scope)
	Location         *SourceContext // Where the macro was invoked (use-site)
	TemplateLocation *SourceContext // Where the macro template was defined (definition-site)
	Parent           *OriginInfo    // Previous link in origin chain (for nested macros)
}

OriginInfo tracks macro expansion chains for debugging and error reporting. Each OriginInfo represents one macro expansion in the chain, enabling:

  • Tracing generated code back to the macro that created it
  • Identifying which invocation (by unique ID) produced specific code
  • Locating the template source that was expanded

func (*OriginInfo) Depth added in v1.16.0 

func (p *OriginInfo) Depth() int

Depth returns the length of the origin chain.

type Pair 

type Pair [2]Value

Pair represents a Scheme cons cell.

Initial algebra (Bird & de Moor 1997, Meijer et al. 1991). Proper lists are the initial algebra of a polynomial functor. 

List = μX. 1 + Value × X

Constructors:
  nil  : 1 → List          = EmptyList (emptyListType, not *Pair)
  cons : Value × List → List = NewCons(car, cdr)

Eliminator (catamorphism / fold):
  ForEach(f) applies f to each car, returns tail

Invariant: EmptyList is a separate Go type from *Pair. This encodes
  the two constructors as distinct injections: (pair? '()) → #f.
Constrains: IsList (must terminate — uses Floyd cycle detection),
  PairBlock (batch allocation optimization, does not change the algebra),
  all list-processing primitives (must handle both constructors).
Constrained by: Tuple interface (read-only view over both constructors).

See BIBLIOGRAPHY.md "Lists as Initial Algebras".

func NewCons 

func NewCons(car, cdr Value) *Pair

NewCons creates a new Pair with the given car and cdr Values.

func (*Pair) Append 

func (p *Pair) Append(vs Value) Value

Append appends the given Value vs to the end of the list represented by the Pair. It panics if the Pair does not represent a proper list.

R7RS §6.4: The resulting list is always newly allocated, except that it shares structure with the last argument. This implementation copies the spine of p and sets the last cdr to vs.

func (*Pair) AsVector 

func (p *Pair) AsVector() *Vector

AsVector converts the Pair representing a proper list into a Vector. It panics if the Pair does not represent a proper list.

Consumes Spine. See Length for the circular-list caveat.

func (*Pair) Car 

func (p *Pair) Car() Value

Car returns the car of the Pair.

func (*Pair) Cdr 

func (p *Pair) Cdr() Value

Cdr returns the cdr of the Pair.

func (*Pair) EqualTo 

func (p *Pair) EqualTo(o Value) bool

EqualTo checks if the Pair is equal to another Value o. Delegates to the cycle-aware pairEqualToDeep to handle circular lists.

func (*Pair) ForEach 

func (p *Pair) ForEach(ctx context.Context, fn ForEachFunc) (Value, error)

ForEach iterates over each element in the list represented by the Pair. The provided function fn is called for each element with the index i, a boolean hasNext indicating if there are more elements, and the value v. If fn returns an error, the iteration stops and the error is returned. If the list ends with a non-empty cdr, that cdr is returned as the second return value.

Stays open-coded rather than consuming Spine: a Spine-consuming variant was measured ~40–56% slower across 10/100/1000-element lists (BenchmarkPairForEach in pair_bench_test.go) because each iter.Seq2 yield goes through two function pointers, and ForEach is hot enough that the per-step overhead dominates. The C.3/C.4 spine consumers (IsList, Length, AsVector) are called far less often per list, so their regression is invisible.

func (*Pair) IsEmptyList 

func (p *Pair) IsEmptyList() bool

IsEmptyList returns false. A *Pair is never the empty list; EmptyList is a separate emptyListType value.

func (*Pair) IsList 

func (p *Pair) IsList() bool

IsList checks if the Pair represents a proper list. Uses Floyd's cycle detection (tortoise-and-hare) to handle circular lists. Returns false for circular lists per R7RS §6.4. See BIBLIOGRAPHY.md "Floyd's Cycle Detection".

Consumes SpineWithCycleCheck: a cycle short-circuits the spine, and the final cell's cdr is checked for EmptyList to distinguish proper from improper termination.

func (*Pair) IsVoid 

func (p *Pair) IsVoid() bool

IsVoid checks if the Pair is void (nil).

func (*Pair) Length 

func (p *Pair) Length() int

Length returns the length of the list represented by the Pair. It panics if the Pair does not represent a proper list.

Consumes Spine. Callers must ensure the receiver is a proper list (e.g., via IsList) — a circular list will hang indefinitely because Spine does not detect cycles.

func (*Pair) SchemeString 

func (p *Pair) SchemeString() string

SchemeString returns the Scheme representation of the Pair. Handles circular structures (from datum labels or set-cdr!/set-car!) by emitting "..." when a cycle is detected.

func (*Pair) SetCar 

func (p *Pair) SetCar(v Value)

SetCar sets the car of the Pair to the given Value v.

func (*Pair) SetCdr 

func (p *Pair) SetCdr(v Value)

SetCdr sets the cdr of the Pair to the given Value v.

func (*Pair) String 

func (p *Pair) String() string

String returns the string representation of the Pair. Handles circular structures (from datum labels or set-cdr!/set-car!) by emitting "..." when a cycle is detected.

type PairBlock added in v1.5.0 

type PairBlock []Pair

PairBlock is a contiguous slice of Pairs that can be linked into a proper list. Block allocation amortizes N heap allocations to 1 for list construction.

func (PairBlock) LinkWith added in v1.5.0 

func (b PairBlock) LinkWith(vs []Value) Tuple

LinkWith fills cars from vs and links cdrs into a proper list, returning the head as a Tuple. The block must have the same length as vs. A nil or empty block returns EmptyList.

type Port 

type Port interface {
	Value
	Close() error
	IsClosed() bool
}

Port represents a Scheme I/O port — the marker interface satisfied by any port value. Concretely implemented by *PortObject (the sole implementer; capability-conditional operations are reached via As*() (T, bool) accessors on *PortObject rather than narrower interfaces).

R7RS §6.13: All port types support close and open-state queries.

type PortObject added in v1.16.0 

type PortObject struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

PortObject is the single concrete representation of an R7RS port. Capability presence is encoded as nil-checks on the slot fields: a non-nil rdr means the port is readable, a non-nil wb means it supports byte writes, etc. Construction always goes through one of the New*Port factories, which call Validate before returning.

Field-set invariants are documented on Validate. The kind tag and slot configuration are paired by construction (every factory writes both in the same struct literal); Validate enforces only the cross-slot invariants I1–I7.

func NewBinaryInputPort 

func NewBinaryInputPort(rdr *bufio.Reader) *PortObject

NewBinaryInputPort wraps an existing *bufio.Reader as a binary input port (R7RS §6.13.2 binary port).

func NewBinaryInputPortFromReader 

func NewBinaryInputPortFromReader(reader io.Reader) *PortObject

NewBinaryInputPortFromReader buffers reader and constructs a binary input port. If reader implements io.Closer, Close is propagated.

func NewBinaryOutputPortFromWriter 

func NewBinaryOutputPortFromWriter(writer io.Writer) *PortObject

NewBinaryOutputPortFromWriter buffers writer and constructs a binary output port. ws is intentionally nil — R7RS forbids write-string on binary ports even though *bufio.Writer satisfies io.StringWriter. flsh is non-nil so Close flushes before closing.

func NewByteVectorBufferedOutputPort added in v1.5.0 

func NewByteVectorBufferedOutputPort() *PortObject

NewByteVectorBufferedOutputPort creates a fresh in-memory bytevector output port. flsh is nil. ext extracts the accumulated bytevector (returns the bytes verbatim — no EOF on empty, matching the prior ByteVectorBufferedOutputPort semantics).

func NewByteVectorBufferedOutputPortFromBuffer added in v1.5.0 

func NewByteVectorBufferedOutputPortFromBuffer(buf *bytes.Buffer) *PortObject

NewByteVectorBufferedOutputPortFromBuffer wraps the given buffer as a bytevector buffered output port.

func NewByteVectorInputOutputPortFromBuffer 

func NewByteVectorInputOutputPortFromBuffer(buf *bytes.Buffer) *PortObject

NewByteVectorInputOutputPortFromBuffer wraps the given buffer as a bidirectional bytevector port. ext returns io.EOF when the buffer is empty (preserving the prior ByteVectorInputOutputPort semantics where empty is signalled differently from BufferedOutputPort).

func NewByteVectorInputPortFromReader 

func NewByteVectorInputPortFromReader(reader io.Reader) *PortObject

NewByteVectorInputPortFromReader buffers reader and constructs a bytevector input port (R7RS §6.13.2 binary). Same slot set as NewBinaryInputPortFromReader; the kind tag distinguishes them.

func NewByteVectorOutputPortFromWriter 

func NewByteVectorOutputPortFromWriter(wrt io.Writer) *PortObject

NewByteVectorOutputPortFromWriter buffers wrt and constructs a bytevector output port. ws is nil (binary). flsh is non-nil so Close flushes before closing.

func NewCharacterInputPort 

func NewCharacterInputPort(rdr *bufio.Reader) *PortObject

NewCharacterInputPort wraps an existing *bufio.Reader as a textual input port (R7RS §6.13.2 textual port).

func NewCharacterInputPortFromReader 

func NewCharacterInputPortFromReader(rdr io.Reader) *PortObject

NewCharacterInputPortFromReader buffers rdr and constructs a textual input port.

func NewCharacterOutputPortFromWriter 

func NewCharacterOutputPortFromWriter(wrt io.Writer) *PortObject

NewCharacterOutputPortFromWriter buffers wrt and constructs a textual output port. wb is intentionally nil — R7RS textual ports do not expose byte-level writes even though *bufio.Writer satisfies io.ByteWriter. flsh is non-nil so Close flushes before closing.

func NewStringInputPortWithBuffer 

func NewStringInputPortWithBuffer(buffer *bytes.Buffer) *PortObject

NewStringInputPortWithBuffer wraps a *bytes.Buffer as a string input port (R7RS §6.13.2 textual). bytes.Buffer satisfies io.Reader, io.RuneReader, and RuneUnreader directly — no buffering layer.

func NewStringInputPortWithReaders added in v1.16.0 

func NewStringInputPortWithReaders(rdr io.Reader, rr io.RuneReader, urr RuneUnreader) *PortObject

NewStringInputPortWithReaders constructs a string input port whose rune reader and rune unreader are supplied externally. Used by fault-injecting test infrastructure (e.g., internal/extensions/ iotest) that needs to override read/unread semantics while still producing a *PortObject that production code's type assertions accept. Kind is portKindStringInput — caller is responsible for passing a reader whose semantics match a string-input port.

rdr provides the byte-level Read; rr and urr provide rune-level. They are wrapped in separate guarded* wrappers, so callers must pass consistent semantics (typically rdr and rr both wrap the same underlying *bytes.Buffer-equivalent source).

If rdr also implements io.Closer, Close is propagated. validateOrPanic runs as for any factory.

func NewStringOutputPort 

func NewStringOutputPort() *PortObject

NewStringOutputPort creates a fresh string output port backed by an in-memory buffer. flsh is nil (no real flush needed); sext exposes the accumulated string via StringContent.

func NewStringOutputPortWithBuffer 

func NewStringOutputPortWithBuffer(buffer *bytes.Buffer) *PortObject

NewStringOutputPortWithBuffer wraps the given buffer as a string output port. wb is intentionally nil — R7RS textual ports do not expose byte-level writes even though *bytes.Buffer satisfies io.ByteWriter. flsh is nil (no real flush needed).

func (*PortObject) SchemeString added in v1.16.0 

func (p *PortObject) SchemeString() string

SchemeString returns the Scheme external representation. Preserves the existing portBase format `<{kind} 0xADDR>` verbatim. A nil receiver returns `<port nil>`.

func (*PortObject) StringContent added in v1.16.0 

func (p *PortObject) StringContent() (string, bool)

StringContent returns the accumulated string for string-output ports. Returns ("", false) if the port is not string-extractable. Nil-safe.

API asymmetry with AsByteVectorExtractor: this returns the resolved string directly while AsByteVectorExtractor returns the extractor interface for the caller to invoke. The asymmetry is a deliberate deferral — converging the two extractor APIs (either both returning the interface, or both returning the resolved value) is tracked as a follow-up in memory/2026-05-14-port-unification-impl.md under "Deferred follow-ups".

func (*PortObject) Validate added in v1.16.0 

func (p *PortObject) Validate() error

Validate checks the cross-slot capability invariants I1–I7. Every New*Port factory calls Validate and panics on failure; embedders constructing PortObject literally may call this themselves.

Invariants:

  • I1: rb != nil requires rdr != nil
  • I2: rr != nil requires rdr != nil
  • I3: bidirectional pairing — rb requires urb (and vice versa); rr requires urr (and vice versa). Every factory in port_constructors.go assigns these slots together; tightening Validate to enforce both directions turns the construction convention into a checked invariant.
  • I4: wb, wr, ws non-nil require wrt != nil
  • I5: ext != nil requires wrt != nil
  • I6: sext != nil requires wrt != nil
  • I7: ext and sext are mutually exclusive

I8 (kind matches capability profile) is enforced by construction — every factory writes both kind and the slot set in the same struct literal — and is asserted at the per-factory test level.

type SchemeWriter 

type SchemeWriter struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

SchemeWriter provides cycle-aware writing of Scheme values. Two-pass datum label output (R7RS §2.4): pass 1 (findShared) traverses the value graph to identify multiply-referenced objects; pass 2 (write) emits #n= definitions on first encounter and #n# references thereafter. See BIBLIOGRAPHY.md "Two-Pass Datum Label Output".

Implementation note: Uses maps with concrete *Pair and *Vector keys (not Tuple/Indexable interfaces) because: 1. Go map keys must be comparable types - interfaces are not suitable 2. Cycle/sharing detection requires pointer identity tracking 3. Each concrete type needs separate tracking for proper label assignment

	// syntax like => and else in cond/case.
	IsRebinding bool
	// Label is an optional human-readable description for debugging.
	// Examples: "lambda", "let-syntax", "intro:my-macro", "library:(wile kanren)".
	Label string
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Scope is an identity marker for macro hygiene. Each macro invocation creates a fresh Scope. Hygiene checking uses pointer equality to determine if a binding's scopes are a subset of a reference's scopes. This implements Flatt's "sets of scopes" model where scopes are just unique tags, not environment hierarchies.

func AddScopeToSet added in v1.16.0 

func AddScopeToSet(scopes []*Scope, newScope *Scope) []*Scope

AddScopeToSet adds a scope to a set if not already present

func FlipScopeInSet added in v1.16.0 

func FlipScopeInSet(scopes []*Scope, target *Scope) []*Scope

FlipScopeInSet toggles the presence of a scope in a set. If the scope is present, it is removed; if absent, it is added. This is the core operation for syntax-local-introduce.

func NewRebindingScope added in v1.16.0

RemoveScopeFromSet removes a scope from a set

func (*Scope) ID added in v1.16.0

func (*Scope) String added in v1.16.0 

func (p *Scope) String() string

String returns a human-readable representation of the scope. If a label is set, returns "scope:ID(label)"; otherwise "scope:ID".

	Value   Value // for send operations
	Kind    SelectCaseKind
}

type SelectCaseKind added in v1.5.0

	SelectDefault
)

type SourceContext added in v1.16.0 

type SourceContext struct {
	Text   string
	File   string
	Start  SourceIndexes
	End    SourceIndexes

NewZeroValueSourceContext creates an empty source context.

func (*SourceContext) Clone added in v1.16.0 

func (p *SourceContext) Clone() *SourceContext

Clone returns a shallow copy of the SourceContext. The Scopes slice and Origin pointer are shared with the original; callers that need to mutate those fields should assign new values after cloning (which is exactly what the With* methods do).

func (p *SourceContext) EqualTo(value Value) bool

EqualTo returns true if this source context equals the given value.

func (*SourceContext) WithOrigin added in v1.16.0 

func (p *SourceContext) WithOrigin(origin *OriginInfo) *SourceContext

WithOrigin returns a new SourceContext with the given origin chain. Used to attach macro expansion tracking information to syntax objects.

func (*SourceContext) WithScope added in v1.16.0 

func (p *SourceContext) WithScope(scope *Scope) *SourceContext

WithScope returns a new SourceContext with an additional scope.

This is the primitive operation for adding hygiene scopes to syntax objects. In Flatt's "sets of scopes" model, each syntax object carries a set of scopes that identifies its binding context.

Design Decision: Scopes are stored in SourceContext rather than on individual syntax types. This treats scopes as source-location metadata, keeping the syntax types simpler and the scope management centralized.

The new scope is prepended to the list (most recent scope first). This doesn't affect the ScopesMatch algorithm, which uses set membership.

Returns a NEW SourceContext (immutable design for syntax objects).

func (*SourceContext) WithScopes added in v1.16.0 

func (p *SourceContext) WithScopes(scopes []*Scope) *SourceContext

WithScopes returns a new SourceContext with additional scopes

func (*SourceContext) WithoutScopes added in v1.16.0 

func (p *SourceContext) WithoutScopes() *SourceContext

WithoutScopes returns a new SourceContext with scopes cleared. Used when creating template identifiers that should not inherit use-site scopes during macro expansion (Flatt 2016 hygiene model).

type SourceIndexes added in v1.16.0 

type SourceIndexes struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func (p SourceIndexes) Line() int

Line returns the line number (1-based).

func (*SourceIndexes) NewLine added in v1.16.0 

func (p *SourceIndexes) NewLine() int

func (p SourceIndexes) SchemeString() string

SchemeString returns a string representation of the position.

func (*SourceIndexes) Tab added in v1.16.0 

func (p *SourceIndexes) Tab() int

	Line() int
}

func NewTemporaryVariableName 

func NewTemporaryVariableName() *Symbol

NewTemporaryVariableName generates a unique symbol for use as a temporary variable. The symbol name has the format "__T_<base32-encoded-random-bytes>". Uses 128 bits of cryptographic randomness to ensure uniqueness. Thread-safe: uses crypto/rand which is safe for concurrent use. Panics if random number generation fails.

R7RS §7.1.1: Identifiers that can be represented without bars are written bare. Otherwise, they are enclosed in vertical bars with only \ and | characters escaped.

type SyntaxBase added in v1.16.0 

type SyntaxBase struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

SyntaxBase provides a common SourceContext() implementation for concrete syntax types via Go struct embedding. It eliminates boilerplate SourceContext() methods across the syntax type set (SyntaxObject, SyntaxSymbol, SyntaxPair, SyntaxVector, SyntaxComment, SyntaxDatum*, SyntaxDirective).

The sourceContext field is unexported; construct via NewSyntaxBase.

Note: IsVoid() and UnwrapAll() cannot be provided here:

  • IsVoid() requires nil receiver checks, which don't work with embedding
  • UnwrapAll() needs access to the outer type (self), not the embedded struct

func NewSyntaxBase added in v1.16.0 

func NewSyntaxBase(sc *SourceContext) SyntaxBase

NewSyntaxBase constructs a SyntaxBase carrying the given source context.

func (*SyntaxBase) SetSourceContext added in v1.16.0 

func (p *SyntaxBase) SetSourceContext(sc *SourceContext)

SetSourceContext replaces the source context. Used by syntax-list builders that thread per-element source contexts through a chain of pairs after construction.

func (*SyntaxBase) SourceContext added in v1.16.0 

func (p *SyntaxBase) SourceContext() *SourceContext

SourceContext returns the source context carried by the embedding type.

type SyntaxForEachFunc added in v1.16.0 

type SyntaxForEachFunc func(ctx context.Context, i int, hasNext bool, v SyntaxValue) error

SyntaxForEachFunc is the callback type for iterating over syntax tuples.

type SyntaxTuple added in v1.16.0 

type SyntaxTuple interface {
	Tuple
	SyntaxValue
	SyntaxCar() SyntaxValue
	SyntaxCdr() SyntaxValue
	AsSyntaxVector() *SyntaxVector
	SyntaxAppend(value SyntaxValue) SyntaxValue
	SyntaxForEach(ctx context.Context, fn SyntaxForEachFunc) (SyntaxValue, error)
}

SyntaxTuple is the interface for syntax lists (pairs and vectors).

type SyntaxValue added in v1.16.0 

type SyntaxValue interface {
	Value
	SourceContext() *SourceContext
	Unwrap() Value
	UnwrapAll() Value
}

SyntaxValue is the interface for all syntax objects. It provides access to source context and unwrapping capabilities.

The interface is defined in package values (rather than in the syntax package) so that the empty-list singleton (values.EmptyList) can directly implement it. This collapses the historical duality between values.emptyListType and the (now removed) syntaxEmptyListType — the empty list carries no symbols, no scopes, and no source-attachable hygiene content, matching Chez's `(equal? (syntax ()) '()) → #t`. 

var SyntaxVectorVoidValue SyntaxValue

SyntaxVectorVoidValue is the syntax-level void value, set by internal/syntax at init time. SyntaxVector.SyntaxForEach with a nil receiver returns this value to preserve the original "syntax void tail" semantics (distinguishable from the empty-list tail).

MUST be non-nil. See SyntaxValueUnwrapAllFunc for the rationale.

type SyntaxVector added in v1.16.0 

type SyntaxVector struct {
	Values []SyntaxValue
	SyntaxBase
}

SyntaxVector wraps a Scheme vector with source context.

The pair-side recursive scope-propagation logic for SyntaxVector lives in the internal/syntax package alongside the other concrete syntax data types. Only the data type itself is here so the SyntaxTuple interface (which references *SyntaxVector via AsSyntaxVector) can also live in values.

func NewSyntaxVector added in v1.16.0 

func NewSyntaxVector(sc *SourceContext, vs ...SyntaxValue) *SyntaxVector

NewSyntaxVector creates a new syntax vector with the given source context and elements.

func (*SyntaxVector) AddScope added in v1.16.0 

func (p *SyntaxVector) AddScope(scope *Scope) SyntaxValue

AddScope recursively propagates a scope to all nested syntax values.

Implements scope propagation for Flatt's "sets of scopes" hygiene. When a macro expands, the intro scope must be added to all identifiers (symbols) in the expansion. Empty vectors return self unchanged.

Panics if SyntaxVectorAddScopeFunc is nil — see the var declaration for why a silent fallback would be unsafe.

func (*SyntaxVector) EqualTo added in v1.16.0 

func (p *SyntaxVector) EqualTo(o Value) bool

EqualTo performs pointer comparison only, matching Chez Scheme/Racket behavior. Two syntax objects are equal? only if they are the same object. For value comparison of syntax objects, use bound-identifier=? or free-identifier=?.

func (*SyntaxVector) ForEach added in v1.16.0 

func (p *SyntaxVector) ForEach(ctx context.Context, fn ForEachFunc) (Value, error)

ForEach iterates over the elements of the vector as regular values in index order. It provides tuple-style iteration compatible with values.ForEachFunc callbacks.

func (*SyntaxVector) IsVoid added in v1.16.0 

func (p *SyntaxVector) IsVoid() bool

IsVoid returns true if the syntax vector is nil.

func (*SyntaxVector) SchemeString added in v1.16.0 

func (p *SyntaxVector) SchemeString() string

SchemeString returns the Scheme representation of the syntax vector.

func (*SyntaxVector) SyntaxForEach added in v1.16.0 

func (p *SyntaxVector) SyntaxForEach(ctx context.Context, fn SyntaxForEachFunc) (SyntaxValue, error)

SyntaxForEach iterates over the syntax elements of the vector. A nil receiver returns the syntax-void singleton (semantically distinct from the empty-list tail returned for an iterated vector).

The callback is invoked for each element with its index and a boolean indicating whether there is another element after the current one. If the callback returns an error, iteration stops immediately and the error is returned.

Panics if SyntaxVectorVoidValue is nil — see the var declaration for why a silent fallback would be unsafe (returning the empty list instead of void changes the semantics callers branch on).

func (*SyntaxVector) Unwrap added in v1.16.0 

func (p *SyntaxVector) Unwrap() Value

func (*SyntaxVector) UnwrapAll added in v1.16.0 

func (p *SyntaxVector) UnwrapAll() Value

UnwrapAll recursively unwraps all elements to produce a plain values.Vector, using the syntax package's cycle-aware recursive unwrap.

Panics if SyntaxValueUnwrapAllFunc is nil — see the var declaration for why a silent fallback would be unsafe (cyclic syntax structures would stack-overflow on a non-cycle-aware fallback walk).

type TerminatedThreadException 

type TerminatedThreadException struct {
	Thread *Thread
}

TerminatedThreadException is raised when joining a terminated thread

func (*TerminatedThreadException) Error 

func (p *TerminatedThreadException) Error() string

type Thread 

type Thread struct {

	// RunFunc is set by the machine package to actually run the thread
	// This avoids circular dependency between values and machine
	RunFunc func(ctx context.Context, thunk Callable) (Value, error)

	// CleanupFunc is injected by the machine package to run dynamic-wind
	// after thunks (UnwindTo(0)) on thread exit. Called on both normal exit
	// and forced termination.
	CleanupFunc func()
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func (*Thread) Context added in v1.5.0 

func (p *Thread) Context() context.Context

Context returns the context associated with this thread. Returns nil if the thread has not been started.

func (*Thread) Done 

func (p *Thread) Done() <-chan struct{}

func (*Thread) Start 

func (p *Thread) Start(parentCtx context.Context) error

Start begins execution of the thread. The parentCtx is used as the parent for the thread's cancellable context, enabling cancellation propagation from the engine/caller while allowing independent termination via thread-terminate!.

func (*Thread) State 

func (p *Thread) State() ThreadState

State returns the current state of the thread

func (*Thread) StateSymbol 

func (p *Thread) StateSymbol() *Symbol

StateSymbol returns the state as a Scheme symbol. Returns package-level singletons so that repeated calls return the same pointer: (eq? (thread-state t) (thread-state t)) → #t. See the doc comment on SymbolThreadNew for eq? vs equal? caveats.

func (*Thread) Terminate 

func (p *Thread) Terminate()

Terminate forcefully terminates the thread. Marks all owned mutexes as abandoned and cancels the thread's context. The deferred cleanup in the goroutine (dynamic-wind after thunks) will fire when the goroutine exits. However, AbandonOwnedMutexes is also called here directly because the goroutine may be blocked on a Go-level operation (e.g., sync.Cond.Wait) and won't exit immediately on context cancellation.

func (*Thread) TrackMutex added in v1.1.0 

func (p *Thread) TrackMutex(m *Mutex)

TrackMutex adds a mutex to this thread's ownership tracking set. Called by mutex-lock! when a mutex is acquired with this thread as owner.

func (*Thread) UntrackMutex added in v1.1.0

	ThreadRunnable                      // Running or ready to run
	ThreadBlocked                       // Waiting for mutex/cv/sleep
	ThreadTerminated                    // Finished execution
)

ThreadState constants.

func (ThreadState) String

func (*Time) Sub 

func (p *Time) Sub(other *Time) time.Duration

Sub returns the duration between this time and another

type Tuple 

type Tuple interface {
	Value
	// Car returns the first element of the pair (R7RS §6.4).
	Car() Value
	// Cdr returns the rest of the list after the first element (R7RS §6.4).
	Cdr() Value
	// ForEach calls fn for each element in order. Returns the tail value
	// (EmptyList for proper lists, the improper cdr otherwise).
	ForEach(ctx context.Context, fn ForEachFunc) (Value, error)
	// Length returns the number of elements. For improper lists, this
	// counts only the proper prefix.
	Length() int
	// Append creates a new list with value appended (R7RS §6.4 append).
	Append(value Value) Value
	// AsVector converts the list to a Vector (R7RS §6.4 list->vector).
	AsVector() *Vector
	// IsList reports whether this is a proper list (R7RS §6.4 list?).
	// Uses Floyd's cycle detection (tortoise-and-hare).
	IsList() bool
	// IsEmptyList reports whether this is the empty list (R7RS §6.4 null?).
	IsEmptyList() bool
	// IsVoid reports whether this value is void (nil receiver handling).
	IsVoid() bool
}

Tuple represents the Scheme list protocol — any value that can be consumed as a sequence of car/cdr pairs.

R7RS §6.4: Lists are chains of pairs terminated by the empty list. Tuple captures the operations needed to traverse, measure, and convert list-shaped values without requiring a concrete *Pair type.

Implemented by: Pair, emptyListType (EmptyList singleton).

IsVoid is listed explicitly because Pair uses a nil-receiver convention where (*Pair)(nil) represents void, and the method must be dispatched through the interface to handle that case.

func List 

func List(os ...Value) Tuple

List constructs a proper list from the given values. Returns EmptyList if no arguments are provided. The resulting list has the values in the same order as the arguments.

Implementation note: Block-allocates all Pair cells in a single slice and links them via cdr pointers. Callers receive the Tuple interface.

func VectorToList 

func VectorToList(vs *Vector) Tuple

VectorToList converts a Vector to a proper list preserving element order. Returns EmptyList for nil or void vectors.

type TypeConstraint added in v1.12.0 

type TypeConstraint interface {
	// Name returns the Scheme-facing type name (e.g., "integer", "point").
	Name() string
	// Description returns a human-readable description.
	Description() string
	// Check tests whether v satisfies this constraint.
	// On success, returns the narrowed value and true.
	// On failure, returns nil, false, and an error describing the mismatch.
	Check(Value) (any, bool, error)
}

TypeConstraint describes a type expectation for documentation and validation. Built-in types are represented by ValueType constants. User-defined types (e.g., record types) implement this interface directly.

A nil TypeConstraint means "unspecified" (no type info declared). TypeAny means "explicitly accepts any value."

type UncaughtThreadException 

type UncaughtThreadException struct {
	Reason error
}

UncaughtThreadException wraps an exception that wasn't caught in a thread

func (*UncaughtThreadException) Error 

func (p *UncaughtThreadException) Error() string

func (*UncaughtThreadException) Unwrap 

func (p *UncaughtThreadException) Unwrap() error

type Value 

type Value interface {
	SchemeString() string
	IsVoid() bool
	EqualTo(Value) bool
}

Value is the base interface for all Scheme values.

Every runtime object in Wile implements Value. The three methods correspond to fundamental Scheme operations:

  • SchemeString returns the external representation (R7RS §6.13.3 write).
  • IsVoid reports whether this value represents the absence of a result (e.g., the return value of set! or display). A nil receiver must return true so that missing values are treated as void.
  • EqualTo implements structural equality (R7RS §6.1 equal?).

ADDING A NEW VALUE TYPE requires at minimum:

  1. values/<type>.go — implement Value (SchemeString, IsVoid, EqualTo)
  2. values/<type>_test.go — test the three Value methods + type-specific behavior

Depending on the type's role, also update:

  1. registry/core/prim_predicates.go — if it needs a type predicate (e.g., box?)
  2. ffi.go — if it maps to/from Go types via RegisterFunc
  3. values/scheme_writer.go — if it has internal structure that can be shared/circular
  4. machine/machine_context_apply.go — if it is callable (implements Callable)
  5. machine/native_template.go — if it can appear as a compile-time literal
  6. values/value_type.go — if the type participates in the extension-API type vocabulary: add a ValueType constant + entries in typeNames, typeDescriptions, checks, AND a row in goTypeToValueType so SchemeTypeName renders a Scheme name instead of leaking the Go type via %T. Types named in Scheme but without a ValueType counterpart (Record, Box, Promise) instead get an arm in SchemeTypeName's explicit switch.

If the new type has capability-conditional operations (e.g., optional read/write/seek surfaces), expose them via AsXxx() (T, bool) methods following the *PortObject pattern (values/port.go — AsReader, AsByteWriter, etc.). Document any new slot invariants in a Validate() method that constructors call.

For numeric types, see the more detailed guide in values/numeric_kind.go (12 items). 

var EOFObject Value = eofType{}

EOFObject is the singleton EOF value. 

var Void Value = voidType{}

Void is the singleton void value.

func ChannelSelect 

func ChannelSelect(cases []SelectCase) (idx int, val Value, ok bool)

ChannelSelect performs a select operation on multiple channels. Returns the index of the selected case and the received value (for receive cases). If a send case targets a channel that is closed concurrently, the select returns that case's index with ok=false instead of panicking.

func ForEach 

func ForEach(ctx context.Context, o Value, fn ForEachFunc) (Value, error)

ForEach iterates over a Tuple value, calling fn for each element. If the value is not a Tuple, returns the value unchanged with no error. The callback receives the element index, whether more elements follow, and the element value. Returns the tail of the tuple (EmptyList for proper lists) and any error from the callback.

func NthCons added in v1.17.0 

func NthCons(lst Value, n int64, name string) (Value, error)

NthCons advances n cons cells along the cdr chain and returns the remaining list (or improper tail). It is the unified primitive behind list-ref (NthCons(...).Car()) and list-tail (NthCons(...)). Returns ErrIndexOutOfRange if n is negative or exceeds the list length.

At n=0 the input is returned unchanged, including for EmptyList — this matches R7RS semantics where (list-tail x 0) is x.

func Single added in v1.5.0 

func Single(t Tuple) (Value, bool)

Single returns the sole element of a single-element Tuple, or false if the Tuple has zero or more than one element. This avoids ForEach and its closure allocation for the common case of 1-element rest-arg lists.

func StringOrFalse added in v1.10.7 

func StringOrFalse(s string) Value

StringOrFalse returns a Scheme string if s is non-empty, or #f if empty. Follows the BoolToBoolean precedent for eliminating repeated if/else patterns.

func UnconsTyped added in v1.17.0 

func UnconsTyped[T any](v Value, headSentinel error, name, role string) (T, Value, error)

UnconsTyped is Uncons followed by a type assertion on the head. On head-type mismatch, returns a wrapped headSentinel with the expected-type phrase read via werr.TypeNameOf.

func ValueOrVoid added in v1.17.0 

func ValueOrVoid(v Value) Value

ValueOrVoid returns v, or the singleton Void when v is nil. It collapses the repeated "nil accessor result -> Void" guard used by primitives whose Go accessor returns a nil Value for an unset slot (thread/mutex/condvar -specific, atomic-box load/swap). Follows the BoolToBoolean / StringOrFalse precedent for eliminating repeated if/else patterns.

type ValueType added in v1.10.3 

type ValueType uint8

ValueType represents a Scheme type constraint for extension API contracts. Each constant maps to either a concrete Go type or an interface in the values package. 

const (
	TypeAny               ValueType = iota // any Value
	TypeVoid                               // void singleton
	TypeBoolean                            // *Boolean
	TypeNumber                             // Number interface
	TypeComplex                            // ComplexNumber interface
	TypeReal                               // RealNumber interface
	TypeRational                           // *Rational
	TypeInteger                            // *Integer | *BigInteger (all Wile integers are exact)
	TypeFlonum                             // *Float | *BigFloat
	TypeString                             // *String
	TypeCharacter                          // *Character
	TypeSymbol                             // *Symbol
	TypeByte                               // *Byte
	TypePair                               // *Pair
	TypeList                               // Tuple interface
	TypeVector                             // *Vector
	TypeByteVector                         // *ByteVector
	TypeHashtable                          // *Hashtable
	TypeProcedure                          // Callable interface
	TypePort                               // *PortObject (Port marker interface)
	TypeInputPort                          // *PortObject with rdr slot non-nil
	TypeOutputPort                         // *PortObject with wrt slot non-nil
	TypeTextualInputPort                   // *PortObject with rr slot non-nil
	TypeTextualOutputPort                  // *PortObject with wr slot non-nil
	TypeBinaryInputPort                    // *PortObject with rb slot non-nil
	TypeBinaryOutputPort                   // *PortObject with wb slot non-nil
	TypeCount                              // sentinel — must be last
)

func (ValueType) Check added in v1.10.3 

func (p ValueType) Check(v Value) (any, bool, error)

Check tests whether v satisfies this type constraint. On success, returns the narrowed value and true. On failure, returns nil, false, and an error describing the mismatch.

func (ValueType) Description added in v1.10.3 

func (p ValueType) Description() string

Description returns a human-readable description of the type constraint.

func (ValueType) Name added in v1.12.0 

func (p ValueType) Name() string

Name returns the Scheme-facing type name, satisfying the TypeConstraint interface.

func (ValueType) String added in v1.10.3 

func (p ValueType) String() string

String returns the Scheme-style name for the type (e.g., "integer", "pair").

type Vector 

type Vector []Value

Vector represents an R7RS vector, a fixed-size mutable array of values. Vectors are written as #(element ...) in Scheme syntax. Unlike lists, vectors provide O(1) access to elements by index.

func NewVector 

func NewVector(vs ...Value) *Vector

NewVector creates a new Vector from the given values. Returns an empty vector if no arguments are provided.

func NewVectorWithLength 

func NewVectorWithLength(length int) *Vector

NewVectorWithLength creates a new Vector of the given length, with all elements initialized to the specified fill value.

func (*Vector) AsList 

func (p *Vector) AsList() Tuple

AsList converts the vector to a proper list (linked list of pairs). Returns void (nil Pair) if the vector is void. Returns EmptyList if the vector is empty. Otherwise returns a newly constructed list containing the vector's elements.

func (*Vector) EqualTo 

func (p *Vector) EqualTo(v Value) bool

EqualTo implements structural equality for vectors. Two vectors are equal if they have the same length and all corresponding elements are equal (using recursive EqualTo comparison). Returns false if the other value is not a Vector.

func (*Vector) Get 

func (p *Vector) Get(i int) Value

Get returns the element at the specified index.

func (*Vector) IsVoid 

func (p *Vector) IsVoid() bool

IsVoid returns true if the vector is a nil pointer. A nil vector represents the absence of a value, distinct from an empty vector.

func (*Vector) Length 

func (p *Vector) Length() int

Length returns the number of elements in the vector. Returns 0 if the vector is void (nil pointer).

func (*Vector) SchemeString 

func (p *Vector) SchemeString() string

SchemeString returns the Scheme external representation of the vector. Format: #( element1 element2 ... ) with elements separated by spaces. Empty vectors are represented as #().

func (*Vector) Set 

func (p *Vector) Set(i int, value Value) error

Set sets the element at the specified index to the given value. Vectors are always mutable, so this never returns an error.

type WaitGroup 

type WaitGroup struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

WaitGroup wraps sync.WaitGroup for Scheme

func NewWaitGroup 

func NewWaitGroup() *WaitGroup

NewWaitGroup creates a new WaitGroup

func (*WaitGroup) Add 

func (p *WaitGroup) Add(delta int)

Add adds delta to the counter

func (*WaitGroup) Done 

func (p *WaitGroup) Done()

Done decrements the counter by one

func (*WaitGroup) EqualTo 

func (p *WaitGroup) EqualTo(v Value) bool

EqualTo returns true if the wait groups are the same object.

func (*WaitGroup) ID 

func (p *WaitGroup) ID() uint64

ID returns the WaitGroup's unique identifier

func (*WaitGroup) IsVoid 

func (p *WaitGroup) IsVoid() bool

IsVoid returns true if the wait group is nil.

func (*WaitGroup) SchemeString 

func (p *WaitGroup) SchemeString() string

SchemeString returns the Scheme representation of the wait group.

func (*WaitGroup) Wait 

func (p *WaitGroup) Wait()

Wait blocks until the counter is zero

type WriteMode 

type WriteMode int

WriteMode controls how the SchemeWriter handles shared structure.

R7RS §6.13.3 specifies three output procedures with different sharing semantics:

  • write: datum labels only for circular references (WriteModeWrite)
  • write-shared: datum labels for all shared references (WriteModeWriteShared)
  • write-simple: no datum labels at all (handled separately via SchemeString)
const (
	// WriteModeWrite labels only circular references.
	// R7RS §6.13.3: write outputs datum labels only for objects that are part of a cycle.
	WriteModeWrite WriteMode = iota
	// WriteModeWriteShared labels all multiply-referenced objects.
	// R7RS §6.13.3: write-shared outputs datum labels for all shared structure.
	WriteModeWriteShared
)
