Field Detail

UNBOUND

public static final java.lang.String UNBOUND

Magic value used to indicate there is no property binding.

Constructor Detail

Location

public Location()

Method Detail

getKeySymbol

public Symbol getKeySymbol()

getKeyProperty

public java.lang.Object getKeyProperty()

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

get

public T get(T defaultValue)

get

public abstract T get()

Get the current value of this location.

Throws:

UnboundLocationException - the location does not have a value.

set

public abstract void set(T value)

undefine

public void undefine()

setWithSave

public java.lang.Object setWithSave(T newValue)

Set a value, but return cookie so old value can be restored. This is intended for fluid-let where (in the case of multiple threads) a simple save-restore isn't always the right thing.

setRestore

public void setRestore(java.lang.Object oldValue)

Restore an old value.

Parameters:

oldValue - the return value from a prior setWithSave.

isBound

public abstract boolean isBound()

isConstant

public boolean isConstant()

getBase

public Location getBase()

getValue

public final T getValue()

setValue

public final T setValue(T newValue)

entered

public boolean entered()

True if directly entered in an Environment. (Only if NamedLocation.)

print

public void print(java.io.PrintWriter ps)

make

public static Location make(java.lang.Object init,
            java.lang.String name)

make

public static IndirectableLocation make(java.lang.String name)

make

public static IndirectableLocation make(Symbol name)

define

public static Location define(Symbol name)

Implement top-level 'define' for Scheme in interactive mode. I.e. if there is no binding, create it; if the existing binding is non-constant, set its value; if it is constant, create a new binding initialized to the old value (though we actually change the binding to non-constant).
