good... thank, it works, i do not know a lot about 'prompts , a good explanation is here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29838344/what-exactly-is-a-continuation-prompt i personally find a solution too: (define-syntax def (lambda (stx) (syntax-case stx () ;; multiple definitions without values assigned ;; (def (x y z)) ((_ (var1 ...)) #`(begin (define var1 '()) ...)) ;; (def (foo) (when #t (return "hello") "bye")) ;; ((_ (<name> <arg> ...) <body> <body>* ...) ;; (let ((ret-id (datum->syntax stx 'return))) ;; #`(define (<name> <arg> ...) ;; (call/cc (lambda (#,ret-id) <body> <body>* ...))))) ((_ (<name> <arg> ...) <body> <body>* ...) (let ((ret-id (datum->syntax stx 'return)) (ret-rec-id (datum->syntax stx 'return-rec))) #`(define (<name> <arg> ...) (call/cc (lambda (#,ret-rec-id) (apply (rec <name> (lambda (<arg> ...) (call/cc (lambda (#,ret-id) <body> <body>* ...)))) (list <arg> ...))))))) ;; single definition without a value assigned ;; (def x) ((_ var) #`(define var '())) ;; (def x 7) ((_ var expr) #`(define var expr)) ((_ err ...) #`(syntax-error "Bad def form")) ))) example: ;; scheme@(guile-user)> (foo 5) ;; $2 = (5 4 3 2 1 . end0) ;; scheme@(guile-user)> (foo 10) ;; $3 = (10 9 8 . end7) ;; scheme@(guile-user)> (bar 5) ;; $4 = (5 4 3 2 1 . end0) ;; scheme@(guile-user)> (bar 10) ;; $5 = end7 (def (foo n) (cond ((= n 0) 'end0) ((= n 7) (return 'end7)) (else (cons n (foo {n - 1}))))) (def (bar n) (cond ((= n 0) 'end0) ((= n 7) (return-rec 'end7)) (else (cons n (bar {n - 1}))))) the important part of this macro being: ((_ (<name> <arg> ...) <body> <body>* ...) (let ((ret-id (datum->syntax stx 'return)) (ret-rec-id (datum->syntax stx 'return-rec))) #`(define (<name> <arg> ...) (call/cc (lambda (#,ret-rec-id) (apply (rec <name> (lambda (<arg> ...) (call/cc (lambda (#,ret-id) <body> <body>* ...)))) (list <arg> ...))))))) but i admit i had a chance to find this solution, i did it a bit like a blind man... but after all: “A mathematician is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat which isn’t there.” -- Charles Darwin Best regards, Damien On Wed, Nov 9, 2022 at 6:55 PM Olivier Dion <olivier.d...@polymtl.ca> wrote: > On Wed, 09 Nov 2022, Damien Mattei <damien.mat...@gmail.com> wrote: > > but in the general case , i want a macro that can do it on any function > > (i'm not sure it can be done because the continuation have to be captured > > just before the call to the function and be inlined at the good > > place....) > > I'm not aware of any control mechanism that are implicit in Guile.
