Hi Daniel, My Emacs version is "GNU Emacs 24.3.50.1". I tried: (defgenerator mygen (i) (yield 1) (yield i) (yield 3)) (let ((gen (mygen 100))) (list (funcall gen) (funcall gen) (funcall gen))) but failed with: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable cps-current-state-91642) (funcall cps-current-state-91642) (while t (funcall cps-current-state-91642)) (catch (quote cps-yield) (while t (funcall cps-current-state-91642))) (lambda nil (catch (quote cps-yield) (while t (funcall cps-current-state-91642))))() funcall((lambda nil (catch (quote cps-yield) (while t (funcall cps-current-state-91642))))) (list (funcall gen) (funcall gen) (funcall gen)) (let ((gen (mygen 100))) (list (funcall gen) (funcall gen) (funcall gen))) eval((let ((gen (mygen 100))) (list (funcall gen) (funcall gen) (funcall gen))) nil) eval-last-sexp-1(nil) eval-last-sexp(nil) call-interactively(eval-last-sexp) ex-eval-region-or-sexp() call-interactively(ex-eval-region-or-sexp nil nil) 2012/11/28 Daniel Colascione > On 11/27/12 9:31 AM, Burton Samograd wrote: > > Daniel Colascione writes: > > > >> Over at https://github.com/dcolascione/elisp-generators, I have a > >> pure-elisp implementation of Python-style generators for elisp. > >> Perhaps the feature is best illustrate by example: > >> > >> (defgenerator mygen (i) > >> (yield 1) > >> (yield i) > >> (yield 3)) > >> > >> (let ((gen (mygen 100))) > >> (list (funcall gen) > >> (funcall gen) > >> (funcall gen))) > >> > >> -> (1 100 3) > >> > >> Yields can appear in arbitrary code: > >> > >> (defgenerator mygen2 (lim) > >> (loop for x from 0 to lim do (yield x))) > >> > >> The package works by rewriting elisp into continuation-passing form > >> and closing over the resulting continuations with a driver loop that > >> transitions from one continuation-state to the next.
