Guile Introspection

Guile Introspection

[Mike Gran]

Hi-

Is it possible to get introspection information out of Guile
(preferably without having to load GOOPS)?

For example, how can I write a function that prints its own name?

Or, what is the scheme version of the following C code

printf("%s %d\n", __FILE__, __LINE__);

Thanks in advance,

Mike Gran

You can define a macro to make this happen:

(defmacro define-named (name-and-args . body)
  (let ((name (car name-and-args))
        (args (cdr name-and-args)))
    `(define (,name ,@args)
      (let ((--function-- ',name))
        ,@body))))

Here is an example of how to use it, analogous to using __FUNCTION__ in gcc:

(define-named (some-fun)
  (display --function--)
  (newline))

I don't know if there's a way to do this in Guile.

In Scheme, functions are first-class objects that are not necessarily
bound to a top-level name.  For instance, a `lambda' is nameless:

  (lambda args
    ...)

Thus, there is no generic, portable way to find the symbol under which a
procedure is bound (_if_ it's bound).  But...

> Or, what is the scheme version of the following C code

In Guile, "primitive procedures" (i.e., procedures written in C) have
their "official" name recorded in them.  For instance:

  guile> 1+
  #<primitive-procedure 1+>
  guile> (procedure-name 1+)
  1+

Happily, it also works with regular procedures defined with `define':

  guile> (define (f x) x)  
  guile> (procedure-name f)
  f

... but doesn't work with lambdas:

  guile> (procedure-name (lambda args args))
  #f

As for the file name and line number, you can in theory get them
(provided Guile runs in "debug" mode) using `procedure-source' and
`source-properties', although the details escape me now.

Thanks,
Ludovic.

I actually don't think this is true; procedure-source returns a copy,
and the source-properties weak hash is an eq? hash. AFAIK.

(I would really like to be able to get line numbers so that the
documentation that I autogenerate based on introspection can be ordered
as it appears in the source. I poked at this a couple hours and failed.)

Cheers,

Andy.

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant by "the details escape me now".  ;-)

`display-backtrace', for instance, knows how to do this, but it gets the
source from the frame (rather than from the procedure).

Apparently, we can't do this with `procedure-source' because it does
many things (including unmemoizing and returning a fresh expression if
needed) that remove source properties.  We might be able to change this
using some Smart Tricks that escape me currently.  ;-)

Thanks,
Ludovic.

below is some code you can try.  to play: save as x.scm
and issue the shell command: guile -s x.scm.

  (write (cond ((not (pair? form)) "not a pair")
               ((source-properties form) => lc)
               (else #f)))
  (newline))

(define p (open-input-file "x.scm"))

(define (r)
  (read-enable 'positions)
  (let ((form (read p)))
    (or (eof-object? form)
        (begin

I like a solution that redefines DEFINE without introducing
an environment in the body of the function. To do it: you
have to take the body in question and treat it as a tree,
mapping selected symbols to the values you want.

If I am correct in assuming that you are a Scheme beginner
and the following code is no clear enough, just ask.

;; ----------------------------------------

(define (map-tree func tree)
  (map (lambda (v)
	 (if (list? v)
	     (map-tree func v)
	   (func v))) tree))

(define (subst-tree old new tree)
  (map-tree (lambda (v)
	      (if (eq? old v) new v)) tree))

(define saved-define define)

;; ----------------------------------------

(define *current-file-name* "proof.scm")

(define-macro (define name-and-args . body)
  (let* ((fname	(symbol->string (car name-and-args)))
	 (args	(cdr name-and-args))
	 (body1 (subst-tree
		 '*current-file-name* *current-file-name*
		 (subst-tree '*current-function-name* fname body))))
    `(saved-define ,name-and-args ,@body1)))

;; ----------------------------------------
;; tests

(define (my-func)
  (format #t "file: ~A, func: ~A~%"
	  *current-file-name*
	  *current-function-name*))

(define (other-func alpha beta)
  (format #t "file: ~A, func: ~A, a ~A, b ~A~%"
	  *current-file-name*
	  *current-function-name*
	  alpha beta))

(define (further-func . args)
  (apply format #t "file: ~A, func: ~A, a ~A, b ~A~%"
	 *current-file-name*
	 *current-function-name*
	 args))

(my-func)
(other-func 123 'abc)
(further-func 123 'abc)

A better solution[1] than the other I posted. Still far
from perfect.
