Compiling with Continuations Andrew W. Appel

Sharing continuations / early returns , as in: try match with .. It does help if I told you delimited continuations are segments of a program flow that has been reified into functions. Martin Odersky – the same guy who was hired by Sun to write the java compiler in those back old days. But fundamentally, yes, I agree that a better compilation of local functions used to share continuations would already be an excellent thing. As for where it was actually used, here is one such example, which shows several layer of indirection (because of continuations): image Strong typing and compilation errors are implicit unit tests that you never have to write. If it completed in a faulted state, the compiler generates code to throw the exception during the continuation. You can use, throw and catch exceptions pretty much like you usually would. NEXT statements can actually be compiled using structures called continuations. I've had several conversations Python doesn't have true continuations, what I labelled continuations are actually just generators, a limited form of continuation. Python isn't just Java without the compile. So what is a cross compiling toolchain and why use one ? A remote debugging tutorial; which I consider to be the continuation of this tutorial, can be found here. I've working on using so-called 'continuation passing style', to do exactly this from BBC BASIC source. We present a series of CPS-based intermediate languages suitable for functional language compilation, arguing that they have practical benefits over direct-style languages based on A-normal form (ANF) or monads. The problem is the warp bit - it's far more "warp" than "jump", as the C compiler is not expecting the perfectly innocent looking setjmp() function to return twice. C doesn't have continuations, so this doesn't happen. We need to compile source code to bytecode (and to search for all kind of errors along the way). The compiler contorts the code for you to work with identical semantics but remain technically able to be passed as a continuation. Compiling with Continuations book download.
