Now implemented.
fun to_assoc_list3[T] (l:list[T]):list[T^2] =>
let
fun aux (l:list[T]) (tmp:list[T^2]) =>
match l with
| Empty => rev tmp
| ?k ! ?v ! ?tl => aux tl ( (k,v) ! tmp )
endmatch
in
aux l Empty[T^2]
;
Much nicer. Only works for "fun" at the moment.
Note there is a procedural equivalent:
with
whatever
do
something
done
This is the same as just whatever then something except definitions
in whatever are hidden after the done (and, you cannot exit the definitions!)
Because of the way I implemented it, it seems possible to generalise the
let form above to
let whatever in expr
barring syntactic ambiguities. For example
let
var x = 1;
var y = x + 1;
in
y + 1
The implementation of this would be:
# { var x = 1; var y = x + 1; return y + 1; }
Note the "let fun" syntax would conflict with this, we'd have to use
let
fun aux (l:list[T]) (tmp:list[T^2]) =>
match l with
| Empty => rev tmp
| ?k ! ?v ! ?tl => aux tl ( (k,v) ! tmp )
endmatch;
in
aux l Empty[T^2]
which differs from what I implemented by a semi-colon :)
i may do this if possible, since it is much more general if a bit ugly ..
let var x = 1; in ...
Uggh. Hmmm. Of course you can already do this with
#{ var x = 1; var y = x + 1; y + 1 }
AND
#{ var x = 1; var y = x + 1; return y + 1; }
since the former means the latter.
Note: Felix syntax seems a bit messy. Why?
Because Felix tries to provide everything with two different syntaxen:
functional and imperative.
