20 ;;****** BUILDQ: A backquote-like construct for Macsyma ******
21 ;;****** ******
22 ;;**************************************************************************
24 ;;DESCRIPTION:
27 ;; Syntax:
29 ;; BUILDQ([<varlist>],<expression>);
31 ;; <expression> is any single macsyma expression
32 ;; <varlist> is a list of elements of the form <atom> or <atom>:<value>
35 ;; Semantics:
37 ;; the <value>s in the <varlist> are evaluated left to right (the syntax
38 ;; <atom> is equivalent to <atom>:<atom>). then these values are substituted
39 ;; into <expression> in parallel. If any <atom> appears as a single
40 ;; argument to the special form SPLICE (i.e. SPLICE(<atom>) ) inside
41 ;; <expression>, then the value associated with that <atom> must be a macsyma
42 ;; list, and it is spliced into <expression> instead of substituted.
44 ;;SIMPLIFICATION:
47 ;; the arguments to $BUILDQ need to be protected from simplification until
48 ;; the substitutions have been carried out. This code should affect that.
50 (defprop $buildq simpbuildq operators)
51 (defprop %buildq simpbuildq operators)
53 ;; This is modeled after SIMPMDEF, SIMPLAMBDA etc. in JM;SIMP >
55 (defun simpbuildq (x ignored simp-flags)
56 (declare (ignore ignored simp-flags))
57 (cons '($buildq simp) (cdr x)))
59 ;; Note that suppression of simplification is very important to the semantics
60 ;; of BUILDQ. Consider BUILDQ([A:'[B,C,D]],SPLICE(A)+SPLICE(A));
62 ;; If no simplification takes place, $BUILDQ returns B+C+D+B+C+D.
63 ;; If the expression is simplified into 2*SPLICE(A), then 2*B*C*D results.
67 ;;INTERPRETIVE CODE:
70 (defmspec $buildq (form) (setq form (cdr form))
71 (cond ((or (null (cdr form))
72 (cddr form))
73 (merror (intl:gettext "buildq: expected exactly two arguments; found ~M") `(($buildq) ,@form)))
74 (t (mbuildq (car form) (cadr form)))))
76 ;; this macro definition is NOT equivalent because of the way lisp macros
77 ;; are currently handled in the macsyma interpreter. When the subr form
78 ;; is returned the arguments get MEVAL'd (and hence simplified) before
79 ;; we get ahold of them.
81 ;; Lisp MACROS, and Lisp FEXPR's are meaningless to the macsyma evaluator
82 ;; and should be ignored, the proper things to use are MFEXPR* and
83 ;; MMACRO properties. -GJC
