;;; Commentary:
|

;;
|
|
;; Thunk provides functions and macros to delay the evaluation of
|
|
;; forms.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Use `thunk-delay' to delay the evaluation of a form, and
|
|
;; `thunk-force' to evaluate it. The result of the evaluation is
|
|
;; cached, and only happens once.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Here is an example of a form which evaluation is delayed:
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (setq delayed (thunk-delay (message "this message is delayed")))
|
|
;;
|
|
;; `delayed' is not evaluated until `thunk-force' is called, like the
|
|
;; following:
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (thunk-force delayed)
|
|
|
|
;; Tests are located at test/automated/thunk-tests.el
|
|
|
|
;;; Code:
|
|
|
|
(defmacro thunk-delay (&rest body)
|
|
"Delay the evaluation of BODY."
|
|
(declare (debug t))
|
|
(let ((forced (make-symbol "forced"))
|
|
(val (make-symbol "val")))
|
|
`(let (,forced ,val)
|
|
(lambda (&optional check)
|
|
(if check
|
|
,forced
|
|
(unless ,forced
|
|
(setf ,val (progn ,@body))
|
|
(setf ,forced t))
|
|
,val)))))
|
|
|
|
(defun thunk-force (delayed)
|
|
"Force the evaluation of DELAYED.
|
|
The result is cached and will be returned on subsequent calls
|
|
with the same DELAYED argument."
|
|
(funcall delayed))
|
|
|
|
(defun thunk-evaluated-p (delayed)
|
|
"Return non-nil if DELAYED has been evaluated."
|
|
(funcall delayed t))
