5.1 Defining Structure Types: struct

5.1 Defining Structure Types: struct🔗ℹ

Programmer-Defined Datatypes in The Racket Guide introduces struct.

Creates a new

structure type

(or uses a pre-existing structure type if

#:prefab

is specified), and binds transformers and variables related to the

structure type

.

A struct form with n fields defines up to 4+2n names:

If super-id is provided, it must have a transformer binding of the same sort bound to name-id (see Structure Type Transformer Binding), and it specifies a supertype for the structure type. Alternately, the #:super option can be used to specify an expression that must produce a structure type descriptor. See Structures for more information on structure subtypes and supertypes. If both super-id and #:super are provided, a syntax error is reported.

Examples:

> (struct document (author title content)) > (struct book document (publisher)) > (struct paper (journal) #:super struct:document)

If the #:mutable option is specified for an individual field, then the field can be mutated in instances of the structure type, and a mutator procedure is bound. Supplying #:mutable as a struct-option is the same as supplying it for all fields. If #:mutable is specified as both a field-option and struct-option, a syntax error is reported.

Examples:

> (struct cell ([content #:mutable]) #:transparent) > (define a-cell (cell 0)) > (set-cell-content! a-cell 1)

The #:inspector, #:auto-value, and #:guard options specify an inspector, value for automatic fields, and guard procedure, respectively. See make-struct-type for more information on these attributes of a structure type. The #:property option, which can be supplied multiple times, attaches a property value to the structure type; see Structure Type Properties for more information on properties. The #:transparent option is a shorthand for #:inspector #f.

Examples:

> (struct point (x y) #:inspector #f) > (point 3 5)

(point 3 5)

> (celsius -275)

not a valid temperature

Use the prop:procedure property to implement an applicable structure, use prop:evt to create a structure type whose instances are synchronizable events, and so on. By convention, property names start with prop:.

The #:prefab option obtains a prefab (pre-defined, globally shared) structure type, as opposed to creating a new structure type. Such a structure type is inherently transparent and non-sealed, and it cannot have a guard or properties, so using #:prefab with #:transparent, #:inspector, #:guard, #:property, #:sealed, #:authentic, or #:methods is a syntax error. If a supertype is specified, it must also be a prefab structure type.

Examples:

> (struct prefab-point (x y) #:prefab) > (prefab-point 1 2)

'#s(prefab-point 1 2)

> (prefab-point? #s(prefab-point 1 2))

#t

The #:sealed option is a shorthand for #:property prop:sealed #t, which prevents the structure type from being used as the supertype of another structure type. See prop:sealed for more information.

The #:authentic option is a shorthand for #:property prop:authentic #t, which prevents instances of the structure type from being impersonated (see impersonate-struct), chaperoned (see chaperone-struct), or acquiring a non-flat contract (see struct/c). See prop:authentic for more information. If a supertype is specified, it must also have the prop:authentic property.

If name-id is supplied via #:extra-name and it is not id, then both name-id and id are bound to information about the structure type. Only one of #:extra-name and #:name can be provided within a struct form, and #:extra-name cannot be combined with #:omit-define-syntaxes.

Examples:

> (struct ghost (color name) #:prefab #:extra-name GHOST) > (match (ghost 'red 'blinky)     [(GHOST c n) c])

'red

If constructor-id is supplied, then the transformer binding of name-id records constructor-id as the constructor binding; as a result, for example, struct-out includes constructor-id as an export. If constructor-id is supplied via #:extra-constructor-name and it is not id, applying object-name on the constructor produces the symbolic form of id rather than constructor-id. If constructor-id is supplied via #:constructor-name and it is not the same as name-id, then name-id does not serve as a constructor, and object-name on the constructor produces the symbolic form of constructor-id. Only one of #:extra-constructor-name and #:constructor-name can be provided within a struct form.

Examples:

> (struct color (r g b) #:constructor-name -color) > (struct rectangle (w h color) #:extra-constructor-name rect) > (rectangle 13 50 (-color 192 157 235))

#<rectangle>

> (rect 50 37 (-color 35 183 252))

#<rectangle>

If #:reflection-name symbol-expr is provided, then symbol-expr must produce a symbol that is used to identify the structure type in reflective operations such as struct-type-info. It corresponds to the first argument of make-struct-type. Structure printing uses the reflective name, as do the various procedures that are bound by struct.

Examples:

> (struct circle (radius) #:reflection-name '<circle>) > (circle 15)

#<<circle>>

> (circle-radius "bad")

<circle>-radius: contract violation

  expected: <circle>?

  given: "bad"

If #:methods gen:name-id method-defs is provided (potentially multiple times), then gen:name-id must be a transformer binding for the static information about a generic interface produced by define-generics. The method-defs define the methods of the gen:name-id interface. A define/generic form or auxiliary definitions and expressions may also appear in method-defs.

Examples:

> (stream-ref (constant-stream 'forever) 0)

'forever

> (stream-ref (constant-stream 'forever) 50)

'forever

If the #:omit-define-syntaxes option is supplied, then name-id (and id, if #:extra-name is specified) is not bound as a transformer. If the #:omit-define-values option is supplied, then none of the usual variables are bound, but id is bound. If both are supplied, then the struct form is equivalent to (begin).

Examples:

> (struct square (side) #:omit-define-syntaxes) > (match (square 5)     ; fails to match because syntax is omitted     [(struct square x) x])

eval:28:0: match: square does not refer to a structure

definition

  at: square

  in: (struct square x)

> (struct ellipse (width height) #:omit-define-values) > ellipse-width

ellipse-width: undefined;

 cannot reference an identifier before its definition

  in module: top-level

Expressions supplied to #:auto-value are evaluated once and shared between every instance of the structure type. In particular, updates to a mutable #:auto-value affect all current and future instances.

If

#:auto

is supplied as a

field-option

, then the

constructor

procedure for the structure type does not accept an argument corresponding to the field. Instead, the structure type’s automatic value is used for the field, as specified by the

#:auto-value

option, or as defaults to

#f

when

#:auto-value

is not supplied. The field is mutable (e.g., through reflective operations), but a mutator procedure is bound only if

#:mutable

is specified.

If a field includes the #:auto option, then all fields after it must also include #:auto, otherwise a syntax error is reported. If any field-option or struct-option keyword is repeated, other than #:property, a syntax error is reported.

Examples:

(struct posn (x y [z #:auto #:mutable])   #:auto-value 0   #:transparent) > (posn 1 2)

(posn 1 2 0)

> (posn? (posn 1 2))

#t

> (posn-y (posn 1 2))

2

> (posn-z (posn 1 2))

0

(struct color-posn posn (hue) #:mutable) (define cp (color-posn 1 2 "blue")) > (color-posn-hue cp)

"blue"

> cp

(color-posn 1 2 0 ...)

> (set-posn-z! cp 3)

For serialization, see define-serializable-struct.

Changed in version 6.9.0.4 of package base: Added #:authentic.
Changed in version 8.0.0.7: Added #:sealed.

This form can only appear as an expression within a

struct

form; normally, it is used with

#:property

, especially for a property like

prop:procedure

. The result of a

struct-field-index

expression is an exact, non-negative integer that corresponds to the position within the structure declaration of the field named by

field-id

.

Examples:

> (happy+ 2)

3

> (mood-procedure-rating happy+)

10

  id-maybe-super   =   id     |   (id super-id)

Like

struct

, except that the syntax for supplying a

super-id

is different, and a

constructor-id

that has a

make-

prefix on

id

is implicitly supplied via

#:extra-constructor-name

if neither

#:extra-constructor-name

nor

#:constructor-name

is provided.

This form is provided for backwards compatibility; struct is preferred.

Examples:

(define-struct posn (x y [z #:auto])    #:auto-value 0    #:transparent) > (make-posn 1 2)

(posn 1 2 0)

> (posn? (make-posn 1 2))

#t

> (posn-y (make-posn 1 2))

2

(struct/derived (id . rest-form) id super-id (field ...) struct-option ...)

The same as

struct

, but with an extra

(id . rest-form)

sub-form that is treated as the overall form for syntax-error reporting and otherwise ignored. The only constraint on the sub-form for error reporting is that it starts with

id

. The

struct/derived

form is intended for use by macros that expand to

struct

.

Examples:

> (fruit-struct apple) > (apple-seeds (apple 12 "red"))

12

> (fruit-struct apple #:mutable) > (set-apple-seeds! (apple 12 "red") 8) ; this next line will cause an error due to a bad keyword > (fruit-struct apple #:bad-option)

eval:54:0: fruit-struct: unrecognized struct-specification

keyword

  at: #:bad-option

  in: (fruit-struct apple #:bad-option)

Added in version 7.5.0.16 of package base.

Like

struct/derived

, except that the syntax for supplying a

super-id

is different, and a

constructor-id

that has a

make-

prefix on

id

is implicitly supplied via

#:extra-constructor-name

if neither

#:extra-constructor-name

nor

#:constructor-name

is provided. The

define-struct/derived

form is intended for use by macros that expand to

define-struct

.

Examples:

> (define-xy-struct posn) > (posn-x (make-posn 1 2))

1

> (define-xy-struct posn #:mutable) > (set-posn-x! (make-posn 1 2) 0) ; this next line will cause an error due to a bad keyword > (define-xy-struct posn #:bad-option)

eval:60:0: define-xy-struct: unrecognized

struct-specification keyword

  at: #:bad-option

  in: (define-xy-struct posn #:bad-option)

Changed in version 7.5.0.16 of package base: Moved main description to struct/derived and replaced with differences.
