{\bf Problem:}
How to keep ML-code included in a document in sync with the actual code.\smallskip
{\bf Solution:} This can be achieved using document antiquotations.\smallskip
Document antiquotations are a convenient method for type-setting consitently
a group of items in a document. They can also be used for sophisticated
\LaTeX hacking.
Below we give the code for two such
antiquotations that can be used to typeset ML-code and also to check whether
the code is actually compiles. In this way one can relatively easily
keep documents in sync with code.
We first describe the antiquotation @{text "@{ML_checked \"\<dots>\"}"} which
takes a piece of code as argument. This code is checked by sending
the ML-expression @{text "val _ = \<dots>"} containing the given code to the
ML-compiler (i.e.~the function @{ML "ML_Context.eval_in"}). The code
for this antiquotation is as follows:
*}
ML {*
fun ml_val txt = "val _ = " ^ txt
fun output_ml ml src ctxt txt =
(ML_Context.eval_in (SOME ctxt) false Position.none (ml txt);
ThyOutput.output_list (fn _ => fn s => Pretty.str s) src ctxt
(space_explode "\n" txt))
val _ = ThyOutput.add_commands
[("ML_checked", ThyOutput.args (Scan.lift Args.name) (output_ml ml_val))]
*}
text {*
Note that the parser @{ML "(Scan.lift Args.name)"} parses a string. If the
code is approved by the compiler, the output function
@{ML "ThyOutput.output_list (fn _ => fn s => Pretty.str s)"}
pretty prints the code. This function expects that the code is a list of strings
according to the line breaks (therefore the
@{ML_open "(space_explode \"\\n\" txt)" for txt} which produces this list).
There are a number of options that are observed by @{ML ThyOutput.output_list}
when printing the code (for example @{text "[display]"} and @{text "[source]"};
for more information about these options see \rsccite{sec:antiq}).
Since we used the argument @{ML "Position.none"}, the compiler cannot give specific
information about the line number where an error might have occurred. We
can improve this code slightly by writing
The second
