(include-book "xdoc/base" :dir :system)

(defxdoc b*
  :parents (macro-libraries)
  :short "The @('b*') macro is a replacement for @(see let*) that adds support
for multiple return values, mixing control flow with binding, causing side
effects, introducing type declarations, and doing other kinds of custom pattern
matching."

  :long "<h3>Introduction</h3>

<p>To use @('b*') you will need to load the following book:</p>

@({
    (include-book \"std/util/bstar\" :dir :system)
})

<p>In its most basic form, the @('b*') macro is nearly a drop-in replacement
for @(see let*).  For instance, these are equivalent:</p>

@({
    (let* ((x 1)               (b* ((x 1)
           (y 2)          ==        (y 2)
           (z (+ x y)))             (z (+ x y)))
      (list x y z))              (list x y z))
})

<p>But beyond simple variable bindings, @('b*') provides many useful, extended
@(see b*-binders).  A simple example is the <see topic='@(url patbind-mv)'>mv
binder</see>, which can nicely avoid switching between @(see let*) and @(see
mv-let).  For instance:</p>

@({
   (let* ((parts (get-parts args)))            (b* ((parts (get-parts args))
     (mv-let (good bad)                   ==       ((mv good bad) (split-parts parts))
       (split-parts parts)                         (new-good (mark-good good))
       (let* ((new-good (mark-good good))          (new-bad  (mark-bad bad)))
              (new-bad  (mark-bad bad)))         (append new-good new-bad))
         (append new-good new-bad))))
})

<p>Another example is the <see topic='@(url patbind-when)'>when
binder</see>, which allows for a sort of \"early exit\" from the @('b*') form
without needing to alternate between @('let*') and @('if').  For instance:</p>

@({
  (let* ((sum (get-sum (car x))))       (b* ((sum (get-sum (car x)))
    (if (< sum limit)               ==       ((when (< sum limit))
        ans                                   ans)
      (let* ((ans   (+ ans sum))             (ans   (+ ans sum))
             (limit (+ limit 1)))            (limit (+ limit 1)))
        (fn (cdr x) ans limit))))         (fn (cdr x) ans limit))
})

<p>The only part of the @('let*') syntax that is not available in @('b*') is
the @(see declare) syntax.  However, @('ignore')/@('ignorable') declarations
are available using a different syntax (see below), and @(see type-spec)
declarations are available using the <see topic='@(url patbind-the)'>the
binder.</see></p>


<h3>General Form</h3>

<p>The general syntax of b* is:</p>

@({
     (b* <list-of-bindings> . <list-of-result-forms>)
})

<p>where a <i>result form</i> is any ACL2 term, and a <i>binding</i> is</p>

@({
     (<binder-form> [<expression>])
})

<p>Depending on the binder form, it may be that multiple expressions are
allowed or only a single one.</p>

<p>The @('std/util/bstar') book comes with several useful b* binders already
defined, which we describe below.  You can also define your own, custom binder
forms to extend the syntax of @('b*') to provide additional kinds of pattern
matching or to implement common coding patterns.  For example, the @(see
std::defaggregate) macro automatically introduces new @('b*') binders that let
you access the fields of structures using a C-like @('employee.name') style
syntax.</p>

<p>Note: One difference between @('let*') and @('b*') is that @('b*') allows
multiple forms to occur in the body, and returns the value of the last form.
For example:</p>

@({
    (b* ((x 1)
         (y 2)
         (z (+ x y)))
      (cw \"Hello, \")
      (cw \" world!~%\")
      (list x y z))
})

<p>Will print @('Hello, world!') before returning @('(1 2 3)'), whereas putting
these @(see cw) statements into a @(see let*) form would be a syntax error.</p>


<h3>Built-In B* Binders</h3>

<p>Here is a nonsensical example that gives a flavor for the kind of b* binders
that are available \"out of the box.\"</p>

@({
 (b* ( ;; don't forget the first open paren! (like with let*)

      ;; let*-like binding to a single variable:
      (x (cons 'a 'b))

      ;; mv binding
      ((mv y z) (return-two-values x x))

      ;; No binding: expression evaluated for side effects
      (- (cw \"Hello\")) ;; prints \"Hello\"

      ;; Binding with type declaration:
      ((the (integer 0 100) n) (foo z))

      ;; MV which ignores a value:
      ((mv & a) (return-garbage-in-first-mv y z))

      ;; Binds value 0 to C and value 1 to D,
      ;; declares (ignorable C) and (ignore D)
      ((mv ?c ?!d) (another-mv a z))

      ;; Bind V to the middle value of an error triple,
      ;; quitting if there is an error condition (a la er-let*)
      ((er v) (trans-eval '(len (list 'a 1 2 3)) 'foo state))

      ;; The WHEN, IF, and UNLESS constructs insert an IF in the
      ;; binding stream.  WHEN and IF are equivalent.
      ((when v) (finish-early-because-of v))
      ((if v)   (finish-early-because-of v))
      ((unless c) (finish-early-unless c))

      ;; Pattern-based binding using cons, where D is ignorable
      ((cons (cons b c) ?d) (must-return-nested-conses a))

      ;; Patterns based on LIST and LIST* are also supported:
      ((list a b) '((1 2) (3 4)))
      ((list* a (the string b) c) '((1 2) \"foo\" 5 6 7))

      ;; Alternate form of pattern binding with cons nests, where G is
      ;; ignored and F has a type declaration:
      (`(,e (,(the (signed-byte 8) f) . ,?!g))
       (makes-a-list-of-conses b))

      ;; Pattern with user-defined constructor:
      ((my-tuple foo bar hum) (something-of-type-my-tuple e c g))

      ;; Don't-cares with pattern bindings:
      ((my-tuple & (cons carbar &) hum) (something-else foo f hum))

      ;; Pattern inside an mv:
      ((mv a (cons & c)) (make-mv-with-cons))

      ) ;; also don't forget the close-paren after the binder list

   ;; the body (after the binder list) is an implicit PROGN$
   (run-this-for-side-effects ...)
   (return-this-expression .....))
})

<p>Note: The built-in binders are all defined in the ACL2 package, and can be
used (without package prefix) in any other package that imports the binder
symbol, or with the @('acl2::') packge prefix anywhere. See also the note about
packages under user-defined binders below.</p>

<p>We now give some additional details about these built-in binders.  Since
users can also define their own @('b*') binders, you may wish to see @(see
b*-binders) for a more comprehensive list of available binder forms.</p>

<dl>

<dt>@('(mv a b ...)')</dt>
<dd>Produces an @(see mv-let) binding.</dd>

<dt>@('(cons a b)')</dt>
<dd>Binds @('a') and @('b') to @('(car val)') and @('(cdr val)'), respectively,
where @('val') is the result of the corresponding expression.</dd>

<dt>@('(er a)')</dt>
<dd>Produces an ER-LET* binding.</dd>

<dt>@('(list a b ...)')</dt>
<dd>Binds @('a'), @('b'), ... to @('(car val)'), @('(cadr val)'), etc., where
@('val') is the result of the corresponding expression.</dd>

<dt>@('(nths a b ...)')</dt>
<dd>Binds @('a'), @('b'), ... to @('(nth 0 val)'), @('(nth 1 val)'), etc.,
where @('val') is the result of the corresponding expression.  This is very
much like @('list'), but may be useful when @(see nth) is disabled.</dd>

<dt>@('(list* a b)')<br/>
    @('`(,a . ,b)')</dt>
<dd>Alternatives to the @('cons') binder.</dd>

<dt>@('(the type-spec var)')</dt>
<dd>Binds @('var') to the result of the corresponding expression, and adds
a @(see declare) form saying that @('var') is of the given @(see type-spec).
You can nest @('the') patterns inside other patterns, but @('var') must itself
be a symbol instead of a nested pattern, and @('type-spec') must be a valid
@(see type-spec).</dd>

<dt>@('(if test)')<br/>
@('(when test)')<br/>
@('(unless test)')</dt>

<dd>These forms don't actually produce bindings at all.  Instead, they insert\
an @(see if) where one branch is the rest of the @('B*') form and the other is
the \"bound\" expression.  For example,
@({
    (b* (((if (atom a)) 0)
         (rest (of-bindings)))
      final-expr)
})
expands to something like this:
@({
    (if (atom a)
        0
      (b* ((rest (of-bindings)))
        final-expr))
})
These forms can also create an \"implicit progn\" with multiple expressions,
like this:
@({
   (b* (((if (atom a))
         (cw \"a is an atom, returning 0\")
         0)
        ...)
     ...)
})
</dd>

</dl>


<p>Note that the @('cons'), @('list'), @('list*'), and backtick binders may be
nested arbitrarily inside other binders.  User-defined binders may often be
arbitrarily nested.  For example,</p>

@({
     ((mv (list `(,a . ,b)) (cons c d)) <form>)
})

<p>will result in the following (logical) bindings:</p>

<ul>
<li>@('a') bound to @('(car (nth 0 (mv-nth 0 <form>)))')</li>
<li>@('b') bound to @('(cdr (nth 0 (mv-nth 0 <form>)))')</li>
<li>@('c') bound to @('(car (mv-nth 1 <form>))')</li>
<li>@('d') bound to @('(cdr (mv-nth 1 <form>))')</li>
</ul>



<h3>Side Effects and Ignoring Variables</h3>

<p>The following constructs may be used in place of variables</p>

<table>

<tr>
<th>@('-')</th>
<td>Dash (@('-')), used as a top-level binding form, will run the corresponding
expressions (in an implicit progn) for side-effects without binding its value.
Used as a lower-level binding form, it will cause the binding to be ignored or
not created.</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<th>@('&')</th>
<td>Ampersand (@('&')), used as a top-level binding form, will cause the
corresponding expression to be ignored and not run at all.  Used as a
lower-level binding form, it will cause the binding to be ignored or not
created.</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<th>@('?!')</th>
<td>Any symbol beginning with @('?!') works similarly to the @('&') form.  It
is @(see declare)d ignored or not evaluated at all.</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<th>@('?')</th>
<td>Any symbol beginning with @('?') but not @('?!') will make a binding of the symbol
obtained by removing the @('?'), and will make an @('ignorable') declaration for this
variable.</td>
</tr>

</table>


<h3>User-Defined Binders</h3>

<p>B* expands to multiple nestings of another macro, @('PATBIND'), analogously
to how LET* expands to multiple nestings of LET.</p>

<p>New b* binders may be created by defining a macro named @('PATBIND-<name>').
We discuss the detailed interface of user-defined binders below.  But first,
note that @('def-patbind-macro') provides a simple way to define certain user binders.
For example, this form is used to define the binder for CONS:</p>

@({
    (def-patbind-macro cons (car cdr))
})

<p>This defines a binder macro, @('patbind-cons'), which enables @('(cons a
b)') to be used as a binder form.  This binder form must take two arguments
since two destructor functions, @('(car cdr)'), are given to
@('def-patbind-macro').  The destructor functions are each applied to the form
to produce the bindings for the corresponding arguments of the binder.</p>

<p>There are many cases in which @('def-patbind-macro') is not powerful enough.
For example, a binder produced by @('def-patbind-macro') may only take a fixed
number of arguments.  More flexible operations may be defined by hand-defining
the binder macro using the form @(see def-b*-binder).</p>

<p>A binder macro, @('patbind-<name>') must take three arguments: @('args'),
@('forms'), and @('rest-expr').  The form</p>

@({
    (b* (((foo arg1 arg2) binding1 binding2))
      expr)
})

<p>translates to a macro call</p>

@({
     (patbind-foo (arg1 arg2) (binding1 binding2) expr)
})

<p>That is:</p>

<ul>
<li>@('args') is the list of arguments given to the binder form,</li>
<li>@('bindings') is the list of expressions bound to them, and</li>
<li>@('expr') is the result expression to be run once the bindings are in place.</li>
</ul>

<p>The definition of the @('patbind-foo') macro determines how this gets
further expanded.  Some informative examples of these binder macros may be
found in @('std/util/bstar.lisp'); simply search for uses of @(see
def-b*-binder).</p>

<p>Here are some further notes on defining binder macros.</p>

<p>Interaction with packages: The macro @('patbind-foo') is derived from a use
of the @('foo') binder using @('intern-in-package-of-symbol') with @('foo') as
the package witness.  Practially speaking, this means that you can use a binder
from a different package (without any package prefix) if either the binder name
@('foo') or the macro @('patbind-foo') is imported into your package.
Additionally, if @('foo') was defined as a binder in the @('bar') package and
not imported into your current package, it can still be invoked as
@('bar::foo').  Note also that when defining a binder using @('def-b*-binder'),
the @('args'), @('forms'), and @('rest-expr') formals are always in the ACL2
package.</p>

<p>Often the simplest way to accomplish the intended effect of a patbind macro
is to have it construct another @('b*') form to be recursively expanded, or to
call other patbind macros.  See, for example, the definition of
@('patbind-list').</p>

<p>Patbind macros for forms that are truly creating bindings should indeed use
@('b*') (or @('patbind'), which is what @('b*') expands to) to create these
bindings, so that ignores and nestings are dealt with uniformly.  See, for
example, the definition of @('patbind-nths').</p>

<p>In order to get good performance, destructuring binders such as are produced
by @('def-patbind-macro') bind a variable to any binding that isn't already a
variable or quoted constant.  This is important so that in the following form,
@('(foo x y)') is run only once:</p>

@({
    (b* (((cons a b) (foo x y))) ...)
})

<p>In these cases, it is good discipline to check the new variables introduced
using the macro @('check-vars-not-free'); since ACL2 does not have gensym, this
is the best option we have. See any definition produced by
@('def-patbind-macro') for examples, and additionally @('patbind-nths'),
@('patbind-er'), and so forth.</p>")
