Emitting code

Introduction

This package contains functionality to pretty-print code. The code emitter exports two functions: emit and emit-list. The emit function takes as input several strings that may have ~~a~ parameters. Each ~~a~ paramater in the string should have a corresponding parameter. An example is:

(emit "void ~a(~a) {" funcname parameter
      "    ~a" statements
      "}")

All statements in statements will be indented properly.

The following example shows how the emit-list function should be used:

(emit-list some-list)
(emit-list some-list :nr-lines 2)
(emit-list some-list :separator ", ")

The first function emits each element of list some-list on a separate line, indented as the indentation should be. The second example, does the same but leaves a blank line in between. The third example emits a list without newlines but with the separator “, ” in between.

In case something is wrong, it is necessary to reset the code-emitter:

(reset-code-emitter)

The source code has been provided as Org-mode files that also exports documentation.
