High order grammar operations

This library provides facilities comparable maplist/3, ignore/1 and foreach/2 for DCGs.

STATUS: This library is experimental. The interface and implementation may change based on feedback. Please send feedback to the mailinglist or the issue page of the swipl-devel.git repository. */

 sequence(:Element, ?List)// is nondet
Match or generate a sequence of Element. This predicate is deterministic if List is fully instantiated and Element is deterministic. When parsing, this predicate is gready and does not prune choice points. For example:
?- phrase(sequence(digit, Digits), `123a`, L).
Digits = "123",
L = [97] ;
Digits = [49, 50],
L = [51, 97] ;
...
   78sequence(OnElem, List) -->
   79    sequence_(List, OnElem).
   80
   81sequence_([H|T], P) -->
   82    call(P, H),
   83    sequence_(T, P).
   84sequence_([], _) -->
   85    [].
 sequence(:Element, :Sep, ?List)// is nondet
Match or generate a sequence of Element where each pair of elements is separated by Sep. When parsing, a matched Sep commits. The final element is not committed. More formally, it matches the following sequence:
Element?, (Sep,Element)*

See also sequence//5.

   98sequence(OnElem, OnSep, List) -->
   99    sequence_(List, OnElem, OnSep).
 sequence(:Start, :Element, :Sep, :End, ?List)// is semidet
Match or generate a sequence of Element enclosed by Start end End, where each pair of elements is separated by Sep. More formally, it matches the following sequence:
Start, Element?, (Sep,Element)*, End

The example below matches a Prolog list of integers:

?- phrase(sequence(("[",blanks),
                   number, (",",blanks),
                   (blanks,"]"), L),
                   `[1, 2, 3 ] a`, Tail).
L = [1, 2, 3],
Tail = [32, 97].
  118sequence(Start, OnElem, OnSep, End, List) -->
  119    Start,
  120    sequence_(List, OnElem, OnSep),
  121    End, !.
  122
  123sequence_(List, OnElem, OnSep) -->
  124    {var(List)},
  125    !,
  126    (   call(OnElem, H)
  127    *-> (   OnSep
  128        ->  !,
  129            {List = [H|T]},
  130            sequence_as(T, OnElem, OnSep)
  131        ;   {List=[H]}
  132        )
  133    ;   {List=[]}
  134    ).
  135sequence_([H|T], OnElem, OnSep) -->
  136    call(OnElem, H),
  137    (   {T==[]}
  138    ->  []
  139    ;   OnSep,
  140        sequence_(T, OnElem, OnSep)
  141    ).
  142sequence_([], _, _) -->
  143    [].
 sequence_as(?List, :OnElem, :OnSep)//
Matches: Elem, (Sep,Elem)*
  149sequence_as([H|T], OnElem, OnSep) -->
  150    call(OnElem, H),
  151    (   OnSep
  152    ->  !,
  153        sequence_as(T, OnElem, OnSep)
  154    ;   {T=[]}
  155    ).
 optional(:Match, :Default)// is det
Perform an optional match, executing Default if Match is not matched. This is comparable to ignore/1. Both Match and Default are DCG body terms. Default is typically used to instantiate the output variables of Match, but may also be used to match a default representation. Using [] for Default succeeds without any additional actions if Match fails. For example:
?- phrase(optional(number(X), {X=0}), `23`, Tail).
X = 23,
Tail = [].
?- phrase(optional(number(X), {X=0}), `aap`, Tail).
X = 0,
Tail = `aap`.
  173optional(Match, _Default) -->
  174    Match, !.
  175optional(_, Default) -->
  176    Default, !.
 foreach(:Generator, :Element)// is det
 foreach(:Generator, :Element, :Sep)// is det
Generate a list from the solutions of Generator. This predicate collects all solutions of Generator, applies Element for each solution and Sep between each pair of solutions. For example:
?- phrase(foreach(between(1,5,X), number(X), ", "), L).
L = "1, 2, 3, 4, 5".
  188foreach(Generator, Rule) -->
  189    foreach(Generator, Rule, []).
  190
  191foreach(Generator, Rule, Sep) -->
  192    { term_variables(Generator, GenVars0),   sort(GenVars0, GenVars),
  193      term_variables((Rule,Sep), GoalVars0), sort(GoalVars0, GoalVars),
  194      ord_subtract(GoalVars, GenVars, SharedGoalVars),
  195      ord_intersection(GenVars, GoalVars, SharedVars),
  196      Templ =.. [v|SharedVars],
  197      SharedTempl =.. [v|SharedGoalVars],
  198      findall(Templ, Generator, List)
  199    },
  200    emit_list(List, Templ, SharedTempl, Rule, Sep).
  201
  202emit_list([], _, _, _, _) -->
  203    [].
  204emit_list([H|T], Templ, SharedTempl, OnElem, OnSep) -->
  205    { copy_term(t(Templ,SharedTempl,OnElem,OnSep),
  206                t(H,SharedTempl,OnElemCopy,OnSepCopy))
  207    },
  208    call_dcg(OnElemCopy),
  209    (   { T == [] }
  210    ->  []
  211    ;   call_dcg(OnSepCopy),
  212        emit_list(T, Templ, SharedTempl, OnElem, OnSep)
  213    ).
