Compiling with Continuations Andrew W. Appel
Publisher: Cambridge University Press

This example demonstrates the syntax for anonymous functions. The Sea Turtle Restoration Project has been compiling interviews with the experts for three years thanks to funding from The Meadows Foundation of Dallas. The standard didn't (and still doesn't) talk about how source programs are fed into a compiler, but on systems where there were "file types", the types .for, .f and .ftn were usually recognized as being Fortran. Columns 1-5 were for statement labels, whole line comments were indicated with a C in column 1, and column 6 was reserved for a continuation indicator. When next next is called, the continuation is resumed, so the execution is restarted just after If you use a Linux (I use a Fedora 11), I've already compiled a VM with callcc patch. A better alternative to explicit waiting, for dependencies to finish execution, would be the ability to chain the dependent tasks using “continuations”. So download jdk7-b75 binaries, and unzip coroutine-VM.zip in directory jre/lib/i386. Handlers in asynchronous API programming are an example of a more general idea of continuations. To run this, remember to add -P:continuations:enable to both compilation and runtime or if you run it in REPL remember to start it with that option.

Blanks in the statement field, outside of quoted literals, were ignored. The sharing discussed above is realized here in the If case, by compiling its two branches using the accumulator (continuation) k twice. Again, many people think of this erroneously as duplicating a piece of value. And so the copper pot obsession goes on. The implementation is based on continuation, yield stops the current execution and saves the stack frames as an object, the value passed as argument to yield is received by the method next of the iterator. A continuation reifies the concept of "the rest of the computation." In particular, when we call an async API and pass it a handler, we ask it to perform the rest of the computation at a later .. I represent an anonymous function with an inline block of code. You want the compiler to be able to perform a fusion -- to compile the two operations into one kernel, as long as the underlying hardware allows it.
