Subject: [Caml-list] Python's yield, Lisp's call-cc or C's setjmp/longjmp in OCaml
Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2003 15:13:14 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87n09sucr9.fsf@naked.iki.fi> (raw)
I am wondering, does OCaml provide any variant of being able to
bypass the normal function call and return discipline?
More or less generic implementations of this can be seen in for
example Python's yield instruction, Lisp's call-cc or call with
current continuation, or C's setjmp/longjmp.
And if not, what are the chances of something like that seeing the
light of day in the future? Are there any fundamental problems in
OCaml that would make the implementation of such a thing exceedingly
difficult?
Just curiosity at this point.
