暂停和恢复两个列表的迭代?

我是Common Lisp的新手,并且一直在研究一个简单的模式匹配器作为第一个项目。我在使用star(*)运算符表示列表中任何元素的0个或更多时遇到了问题。因此模式(x * z)和匹配器(x y y y z)将返回true,但模式(x * z)和匹配器(x y)将返回false。

我的第一个想法:

(loop for x in pattern-list
  (eq x '*)
  ;if x is *, pause iterating through this list
  (loop for y in matcher-list
        ;somehow iterate one more value in the pattern list
        (eq x y) ;does the value just after the * in the pattern list equal the value in y?
        ;if they aren't the same symbol, just iterate matcher until they match, then resume incrementing though the pattern list
))

很抱歉,如果我的语法和括号有点偏差。

对于我正在研究的较大模式匹配器来说,这是一个较小的部分。这是我到目前为止(在这种情况下,list1是模式列表,list2是匹配列表):

此代码的大部分来自此SO帖子:

Setting up a equal function in common lisp using only "eq"

(defun comp-q (list1 list2) ;defun
  (if (and (not (null list1)) ;if list1 is not null AND
       (not (null list2))) ;if list2 is not null
  (let ((a (car list1)) (b (car list2))) ;a is the car (front) of list1 and b is the car of list 2
    (cond ((and (listp a) (listp b)) ;cond, evaluate the first thing in the list - are a and b lists?
           (and (comp-q a b) ;recursive call on a and b
                (comp-q (cdr list1) (cdr list2)))) ;recursive call on the cdr (tail) of a and b
          (t ;like an else for cond
           (and (or (eq a b) (eq a '?)) ;are a and b equal OR is a a '?'
                (comp-q (cdr list1) (cdr list2)))))) ;recursive call on the cdr of a and b
  (= (length list1) (length list2)))) ;are the lists equal?  only triggered if the null test fails (are they both not null)

使用loop宏是我最好的选择吗?是否可以“暂停”或跟踪列表上的迭代(我知道这是阵列式的)?或者我应该尝试通过调用comp-q car中实现的每个列表的cdrdefun来递归地继续工作?

感谢。

由于还没有人给出任何答案,并且由于提出了递归方法,我在Racket中提出了一个示例来帮助您入门。转换为Common Lisp应该很简单。

(define (match pattern matcher)

  ; is the symbol a wildcard (i.e. does it end with an asterisk?
  ;   yes -> return true + the symbol without the asterisk
  ;   no  -> return false + the symbol itself
  (define (is-wildcard sym)
    (let ((str (symbol->string sym)))
      (if (string=? (substring str (sub1 (string-length str))) "*")
          (values #t (string->symbol (substring str 0 (sub1 (string-length str)))))
          (values #f sym))))

  ; we know wi is a wildcard; let's loop over matcher until done
  (define (match-wildcard wi pattern matcher)
    (if (empty? matcher)
        (list (cdr pattern) matcher)
        (if (eq? wi (car matcher))
            (match-wildcard wi pattern (cdr matcher))
            (list (cdr pattern) matcher))))

  ; main loop
  (if (or (empty? pattern) (empty? matcher))
      (and (empty? pattern )(empty? matcher))
      (let ((pa (car pattern)) (ma (car matcher)))
        (if (eq? pa ma)
            (match (cdr pattern) (cdr matcher))
            (let-values (((wildcard wi) (is-wildcard pa)))
              (if wildcard
                  (apply match (match-wildcard wi pattern matcher))
                  #f))))))

示例:

(match '(x y* z) '(x y y y z))
=> #t

(match '(x z* y) '(x y))
=> #t

(match '(x y* z) '(x y))
=> #f

(match '(x y*) '(x y))
=> #t

HTH!
