Hello
I am a beginner when it comes to writing macros, so there may be an easy
way to do this.
I have a number of 'state machines' which have this sort of appearance:
(defn startFSM [eventQ]
(let [state (atom :1)
going (atom true)
timerId (atom -1)
startTimer (fn [] ....)
stopTimer (fn [] ...)]
(inThread
(while @going
(let [ev (.take eventQ)]
(condp = @state
:1 (....)
:2 (...)
etc...))))))
where inThread runs its body in a thread, and the timer functions deal with
timers. So, when (startFSM aQ) is called, the thread runs and processes
events arriving on aQ.
My question is, how to write a macro, fsmWithTimers, that could be used
like this:
(fsmWithTimers
(condp = @state
:1 (....)
:2 (...)
etc...))
which would resolve into the form shown above, so that the items mentioned
in the outer let are usable (via the names specified) within the body (in
the example a condp form)?
