Edit detail for SandBox Aldor Generator revision 3 of 3

Aldor has generators:

http://www.aldor.org/docs/HTML/chap9.html

In fact, this form of using generators is so common, that if the expression E in for v in E. does not belong to a generator type, then an implicit call is made to an appropriate generator function. This is equivalent to writing for v in generator E.

The Aldor/FriCAS interface provides such a generator for the FriCAS Vector type. Let's try it.

#include "fricas"

myList(v:Vector Integer):List Integer == [ i for i in v ];</aldor>

Hello,

is there a way to get hold of generate$Stream using the aldor compiler? I spent quite some time until figuring out that generate is probably a keyword in aldor (I could not check as the aldor site seems to be down) and this causes strange error messages. The following two snippets do not work, note that the second leads to a segfault:

  =================================================
  #include "axiom"

         zerostream:()->Stream Integer;
  } == add {
         zerostream():Stream Integer == {
                 import from Integer;
                 generate((x:Integer):Integer +-> 0@Integer,0@Integer);
  }
  }

Here is one way. The important thing is to escape the keyword generator. But FriCAS Stream no longer has generate so code below is not needed and does not work.

#include "fricas"

teststream: with {
        zerostream:()->Stream Integer;
} == add {
        zerostream():Stream Integer == {
                import from Integer;
                _generate((x:Integer):Integer +-> 0@Integer,0@Integer);
}
}
