Argument Conventions

LOC is a symbol, or #f. The symbolic naming of the location detecting the problem. As in the error form.

OBJ is any Scheme object.

ARGNAM is a string or symbol naming the argument list element corresponding to the OBJ. The default is the type-name.

Performs the minimal constraint check and raises an error condition upon failure. The mimimal constraint proviso is important for understanding the behavior of the checking routines. Unless otherwise specified no additional constraints are verified.

So the check-...-interval routines, for example, do not verify the types of the arugments, only the interval constraint.

When the unsafe feature is defined the check procedures are no-ops.

Note that the full-numeric-tower is not supported.

All check-... routines return the checked object; unless a type-error exception is raised, obviously.

Usage

(require-extension type-checks)

check-defined-value

(check-defined-value LOC OBJ [ARGNAM]) => * procedure: Ensures the OBJ is non-void, i.e. not an undefined-value.

check-bound-value

(check-bound-value LOC OBJ [ARGNAM]) => * procedure

Ensures the OBJ is the value of a bound variable.

Only for use in rather unsafe calling envrionments where some explicit checking is necessary.

check-minimum-argument-count

(check-minimum-argument-count LOC ARGC MINARGC) => * procedure: Does not verify the type of ARGC, or MINARGC.

check-argument-count

(check-argument-count LOC ARGC MAXARGC) => * procedure: Does not verify the type of ARGC, or MAXARGC.

check-open-interval

(check-open-interval LOC NUM MINNUM MAXNUM [ARGNAM]) => * procedure

NUM in ]MINNUM MAXNUM[.

Does not verify the type of NUM, MINNUM, or MAXNUM.

check-closed-interval

(check-closed-interval LOC NUM MINNUM MAXNUM [ARGNAM]) => * procedure

NUM in [MINNUM MAXNUM].

Does not verify the type of NUM, MINNUM, or MAXNUM.

check-half-open-interval

(check-half-open-interval LOC NUM MINNUM MAXNUM [ARGNAM]) => * procedure

NUM in ]MINNUM MAXNUM].

Does not verify the type of NUM, MINNUM, or MAXNUM.

check-half-closed-interval

(check-half-closed-interval LOC NUM MINNUM MAXNUM [ARGNAM]) => * procedure

NUM in [MINNUM MAXNUM[.

Does not verify the type of NUM, MINNUM, or MAXNUM.

define-check-type

(define-check-type TYPNAM [TYPE-PRED]) syntax

Creates a procedure definition for check-TYPNAM} with the signature of the above check procedures. The type-predicate is either {{TYPE-PRED, when present, or TYPNAM?.

TYPNAM is an unquoted symbol.

(define-check-type hash-table)
;=>
;(define (check-hash-table loc obj #!optional argnam)
;  (unless (hash-table? obj)
;    (error-hash-table loc obj argnam))
;  obj )

define-check+error-type

(define-check+error-type TYPNAM [TYPE-PRED [TYPMSG]]) syntax

Creates a procedure definition for check-TYPNAM} with the signature of the above check procedures. The type-predicate is either {{TYPE-PRED, when present, or TYPE?. The error message type-name is either the TYPMSG, when present, or "TYPNAM"".

TYPNAM is an unquoted symbol.

(define-check+error-type hash-table)
;=>
;(define-error-type loc obj 'hash-table)
;(define (check-hash-table loc obj #!optional argnam)
;  (unless (hash-table? obj)
;    (error-hash-table loc obj argnam))
;  obj )

Type Errors

Argument Conventions

TYPNAM is a symbol or string, unless otherwise indicated.

ARGNAM is a symbol, string, or #f. Default is #f.

Usage

(require-extension type-errors)

make-bad-argument-message

(make-bad-argument-message [ARGNAM]) => string procedure

Returns an argument type error message for the, optional, ARGNAM.

Example:

Returns an argument type message for the TYPNAM.

Example:

(make-type-name-message integer) ;=> an integer"
(make-type-name-message "symbol in {foo bar baz}") ;=> "a symbol in {foo bar baz}"

Note that make-type-name-message is suitable only for English. It supplies a suitable article for the type-name.

make-error-type-message

(make-error-type-message TYPNAM [ARGNAM]) => string procedure

Returns a type error message from the TYPNAM} and optional {{ARGNAM.

Uses make-bad-argument-message and make-type-name-message to build the message components.

Example:

(make-error-type-message 'integer "count") ;=> "bad `count' argument type - not an integer"
