+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; This module implements the syntax extension #,(), also called
+;; hash-comma, which is defined in SRFI-10.
+;;
+;; The support for SRFI-10 consists of the procedure
+;; `define-reader-ctor' for defining new reader constructors and the
+;; read syntax form
+;;
+;; #,(<ctor> <datum> ...)
+;;
+;; where <ctor> must be a symbol for which a read constructor was
+;; defined previously.
+;;
+;; Example:
+;;
+;; (define-reader-ctor 'file open-input-file)
+;; (define f '#,(file "/etc/passwd"))
+;; (read-line f)
+;; =>
+;; "root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash"
+;;
+;; Please note the quote before the #,(file ...) expression. This is
+;; necessary because ports are not self-evaluating in Guile.
+;;
+;; This module is fully documented in the Guile Reference Manual.
+
+;;; Code:
+
+(define-module (srfi srfi-10)
+ :use-module (ice-9 rdelim)
+ :export (define-reader-ctor))
+
+(cond-expand-provide (current-module) '(srfi-10))
+
+;; This hash table stores the association between comma-hash tags and
+;; the corresponding constructor procedures.
+;;
+(define reader-ctors (make-hash-table 31))
+
+;; This procedure installs the procedure @var{proc} as the constructor
+;; for the comma-hash tag @var{symbol}.
+;;
+(define (define-reader-ctor symbol proc)
+ (hashq-set! reader-ctors symbol proc)
+ (if #f #f)) ; Return unspecified value.
+
+;; Retrieve the constructor procedure for the tag @var{symbol} or
+;; throw an error if no such tag is defined.
+;;
+(define (lookup symbol)
+ (let ((p (hashq-ref reader-ctors symbol #f)))
+ (if (procedure? p)
+ p
+ (error "unknown hash-comma tag " symbol))))
+
+;; This is the actual reader extension.
+;;
+(define (hash-comma char port)
+ (let* ((obj (read port)))
+ (if (and (list? obj) (positive? (length obj)) (symbol? (car obj)))
+ (let ((p (lookup (car obj))))
+ (let ((res (apply p (cdr obj))))
+ res))
+ (error "syntax error in hash-comma expression"))))
+
+;; Install the hash extension.
+;;
