- ;;; Commentary:
-
- ;; This module exports the syntactic form `define-record-type', which
- ;; is the means for creating record types defined in SRFI-9.
- ;;
- ;; The syntax of a record type definition is:
- ;;
- ;; <record type definition>
- ;; -> (define-record-type <type name>
- ;; (<constructor name> <field tag> ...)
- ;; <predicate name>
- ;; <field spec> ...)
- ;;
- ;; <field spec> -> (<field tag> <accessor name>)
- ;; -> (<field tag> <accessor name> <modifier name>)
- ;;
- ;; <field tag> -> <identifier>
- ;; <... name> -> <identifier>
- ;;
- ;; Usage example:
- ;;
- ;; guile> (use-modules (srfi srfi-9))
- ;; guile> (define-record-type :foo (make-foo x) foo?
- ;; (x get-x) (y get-y set-y!))
- ;; guile> (define f (make-foo 1))
- ;; guile> f
- ;; #<:foo x: 1 y: #f>
- ;; guile> (get-x f)
- ;; 1
- ;; guile> (set-y! f 2)
- ;; 2
- ;; guile> (get-y f)
- ;; 2
- ;; guile> f
- ;; #<:foo x: 1 y: 2>
- ;; guile> (foo? f)
- ;; #t
- ;; guile> (foo? 1)
- ;; #f
