      1 ;;;; matchable.scm -- portable hygienic pattern matcher
      2 ;;
      3 ;; This code is written by Alex Shinn and placed in the
      4 ;; Public Domain.  All warranties are disclaimed.
      5 
      6 ;; Written in fully portable SYNTAX-RULES, with a few non-portable
      7 ;; bits at the end of the file conditioned out with COND-EXPAND.
      8 
      9 ;; This is a simple generative pattern matcher - each pattern is
     10 ;; expanded into the required tests, calling a failure continuation if
     11 ;; the tests pass.  This makes the logic easy to follow and extend,
     12 ;; but produces sub-optimal code in cases where you have many similar
     13 ;; clauses due to repeating the same tests.  Nonetheless a smart
     14 ;; compiler should be able to remove the redundant tests.  For
     15 ;; MATCH-LET and DESTRUCTURING-BIND type uses there is no performance
     16 ;; hit.
     17 
     18 ;; 2008/03/20 - fixing bug where (a ...) matched non-lists
     19 ;; 2008/03/15 - removing redundant check in vector patterns
     20 ;; 2007/09/04 - fixing quasiquote patterns
     21 ;; 2007/07/21 - allowing ellipse patterns in non-final list positions
     22 ;; 2007/04/10 - fixing potential hygiene issue in match-check-ellipse
     23 ;;              (thanks to Taylor Campbell)
     24 ;; 2007/04/08 - clean up, commenting
     25 ;; 2006/12/24 - bugfixes
     26 ;; 2006/12/01 - non-linear patterns, shared variables in OR, get!/set!
