4.3.2 Coroutines

Coroutines are the building block for cooperative multitasking. When -used with agendas, they are a powerful mechanism for writing -algorithms that span multiple clock ticks in a straightforward, linear -fashion. Sly’s coroutines are built on top of Guile’s delimited -continuations, called prompts. -

To run a procedure as a coroutine, use the call-with-coroutine -procedure. Once inside the coroutine prompt, the yield -procedure can be used to pause the procedure and pass its continuation -to a callback procedure. The callback may call the continuation at -its convenience, resuming the original procedure. -

Coroutines are particularly useful in conjunction with Agendas. -

Scheme Procedure: call-with-coroutine thunk: Apply thunk within a coroutine prompt. -

- -

Scheme Syntax: coroutine body …: Evaluate body within a coroutine prompt. -

- -

Scheme Syntax: colambda args body …: Syntacic sugar for a lambda expression whose body is run -within a coroutine prompt. -

- -

Scheme Syntax: codefine (name formals …) body …: Syntacic sugar for defining a procedure called name with formal -arguments formals whose body is run within a coroutine -prompt. -

- -

Scheme Syntax: codefine* (name formals …) body …: Syntacic sugar for defining a procedure called name with -optional and keyword arguments formals whose body is run -within a coroutine prompt. -

- -

Scheme Procedure: yield callback: Yield continuation to the procedure callback. -
