+$coin

Noun-literal syntax cases

Syntax cases for nouns-literal: atoms, jammed nouns, and nestable tuples. Parsed and printed using ++so and ++co cores.

Source

+$ coin $~ [%$ %ud 0]
$% [%$ p=dime]
[%blob p=*]
[%many p=(list coin)]

Examples

> `coin`(need (slay '~s1'))
[%$ p=[p=~.dr q=18.446.744.073.709.551.616]]
> `coin`(need (slay '0x2b59'))
[%$ p=[p=~.ux q=11.097]]
> ~(rend co [%many ~[[%$ %ud 1] [%$ %tas 'a'] [%$ %s -2]]])
"._1_a_-2__"
> ._1_a_-2__
[1 %a -2]
> `@uv`(jam [3 4])
0v2cd1
> (slay '~02cd1')
[~ u=[%blob p=[3 4]]]
> ~02cd1
[3 4]

+$dime

Aura-atom pair

Used in ++coin. Convenience methods ++scot and ++scow print dimes as ++cord and ++tape, respectively. ++slat, ++slav, and ++slaw are used to parse atoms of specific auras.

Source

+$ dime [p=@ta q=@]

Examples

> +>:(slay '0x123')
p=[p=~.ux q=291]

+$edge

Parsing location metadata. Parsing location input p and optional result p.q and parsing continuation q.q.

Source

+$ edge [p=hair q=(unit [p=* q=nail])]

Examples

> *edge
[p=[p=0 q=0] q=~]
> (tall:vast [1 1] "a b")
[p=[p=1 q=3] q=[~ u=[p=[%wing p=~[%a]] q=[p=[p=1 q=2] q=" b"]]]]

Discussion

See also: $rule.


+$hair

Parsing line and column

A pair of two @ud used in parsing indicating line and column number.

Source

+$ hair [p=@ud q=@ud]

Examples

> *hair
[p=0 q=0]
> `hair`[1 1] :: parsing starts at [1 1] as a convention.
[p=1 q=1]
> ((plus ace) [1 1] " --")
[p=[p=1 q=4] q=[~ u=[p=[~~. " "] q=[p=[p=1 q=4] q="--"]]]]
> `hair`p:((plus ace) [1 1] " --")
[p=1 q=4]

++like

Generic edge

Generates an $edge with a parsed result set to a specific type.

Source

++ like |* a=$-(* *)
|: b=`*`[(hair) ~]
:- p=(hair -.b)
^= q
?@ +.b ~
:- ~
u=[p=(a +>-.b) q=[p=(hair -.b) q=(tape +.b)]]

Examples

> *(like char)
[p=[p=0 q=0] q=~]
> (ace [1 1] " a")
[p=[p=1 q=2] q=[~ u=[p=' ' q=[p=[p=1 q=2] q="a"]]]]
> `(like char)`(ace [1 1] " a")
[p=[p=1 q=2] q=[~ [p=~~. q=[p=[p=1 q=2] q="a"]]]]
> `(like ,@)`(ace [1 1] " a")
[p=[p=1 q=2] q=[~ u=[p=32 q=[p=[p=1 q=2] q="a"]]]]

+$nail

Location, remainder of parsed text

Indicates parsing position p, and remaining text to be parsed q.

Source

+$ nail [p=hair q=tape]

Examples

> +<:;~(plug cab cab)
c=[p=[p=0 q=0] q=""]

+$pint

Parsing range

A $pint is a pair of $hair, indicating from p to q. Mostly used for stack traces.

Source

+$ pint [p=[p=@ q=@] q=[p=@ q=@]]

Examples

> !:(!!) :: !! always produces a crash
/~zod/base/~2014.9.20..01.22.04..52e3/:<[1 4].[1 6]>
> `pint`[[1 4] [1 6]]
[p=[p=1 q=4] q=[p=1 q=6]]

+$rule

Parsing rule

An empty parsing rule, but used to check that parsing rules match this with _.

Source

+$ rule _|:($:nail $:edge)

Examples

> ([|=(a=nail [p.a ~ u=['a' a]])]:|6 [1 1] "hi")
[[p=1 q=1] ~ u=['a' p=[p=1 q=1] q="hi"]]

+$spot

Stack trace line

The stack trace that is printed after crashing.

Source

++ spot [p=path q=pint]

Examples

> !: !! :: !! always produces a crash
/~zod/base/~2018.8.8..21.42.40..7852:<[1 5].[1 7]>
! exit

+$tone

Nock result, error report

Produces either success (%0), a block with list of requests blocked on (%1), or failure with an error report (%2).

Source

+$ tone $% [%0 product=*]
[%1 block=*]
[%2 trace=(list [@ta *])]
==

Examples

> (mink [[20 21] 0 3] $~)
[%0 product=21]
> (mink [[1 2] !=(!:(+(.)))] ,~)
[%2 trace=~[[~.spot [[1.685.027.454 1.702.060.386 20.241.306.789.072.368.304.935.424.358.627.395.315.601.229.215.400.789.787.861.332.606 0] [1 20] 1 24]]]]

+$toon

Nock result, stack trace

Produces either success (%0), a block with list of requests blocked on (%1), or failure with a stack trace (%2).

Source

+$ toon $% [%0 p=*] :: success
[%1 p=*] :: block
[%2 p=(list tank)] :: stack trace
== ::

Examples

> (mock [[20 21] 0 3] $~)
[%0 p=21]
> (mock [[1 2] !=(!:(+(.)))] ,~)
[ %2
p
~[
[ %rose
p=[p=":" q="" r=""]
q=[i=[%rose p=[p="/" q="/" r=""] q=[i=[%leaf p="~zod"] t=[i=[%leaf p="base"] t=[i=[%leaf p="~2021.10.16..10.03.16..59ee"] t=~]]]] t=[i=[%leaf p="<[1 20].[1 24]>"] t=~]]
]
]

++wonk

Product from edge

Pull result out of a $edge, or crash if there's no result.

Source

++ wonk =+ veq=$:edge
|@ ++ $ ?~(q.veq !! p.u.q.veq)
--

Examples

> (wide:vast [1 1] "(add 2 2)")
[p=[p=1 q=10] q=[~ [p=[%cncl p=[%wing p=~[%add]] q=~[[%sand p=%ud q=2] [%sand p=%ud q=2]]] q=[p=[p=1 q=10] q=""]]]]
> (wonk (wide:vast [1 1] "(add 2 2)"))
[%cncl p=[%wing p=~[%add]] q=~[[%sand p=%ud q=2] [%sand p=%ud q=2]]]
