Class Quote

java.lang.Object

kawa.lang.Syntax

kawa.lang.Quote

All Implemented Interfaces:

gnu.kawa.format.Printable, Named

Direct Known Subclasses:

syntax

public class Quote
extends Syntax

The Syntax transformer that re-writes the "quote" "quasiquote" primitive. In both cases recursively resolves SyntaxForm wrappers and resolves namespaces of symbols. In the case of quasiquote also handles unquoting.

rewrite

public Expression rewrite(Object obj,
 Translator tr)

Description copied from class: Syntax

Re-write an expression that is an "application" of this Syntax object.

Overrides:

rewrite in class Syntax

Parameters:

obj - the arguments to this "application" (i.e. the cdr of the macro/builtin invocation)

tr - the Translator that provides context

Returns:

the re-written expression

consX$V

public static Object consX$V(Object[] args)

A wrapper around LList.consX to make it a "variable-arg method".

append$V

public static Object append$V(Object[] args)

Same as regular append, but handle SyntaxForm wrappers.
