TRX - Tree Regular Expressions for Racket

Author: Joseph Irwin

Overview

This is a library for matching trees in Racket, based on a paper by Ilya Bagrak and Olin Shivers:

[trx]: Ilya Bagrak and Olin Shivers. trx: Regular-tree expressions, now in Scheme. In Proceedings of the Fifth Workshop on Scheme and Functional Programming, pages 21-32, Snowbird, Utah, September 2004.

According to the paper, the code should be included in scsh, but it doesn't seem to exist anywhere on the Internet, so I decided to reimplement it myself (in Racket). My (admittedly un-expert) impression is that macros in Racket are much easier to write than the low-level macros in scheme48.

Status

Missing:

  • let and letrec forms
  • submatches

Other than the above, the basic functionality is there, including recursive patterns.

How to Use

I wouldn't. But if you really must, read the paper and try out some of the examples.
