<dd><p>Abort to a prompt handler. The tag is expected in slot 1, and the rest
|
||
|
|
of the values in the frame are returned to the prompt handler. This
|
||
|
|
corresponds to a tail application of <code class="code">abort-to-prompt</code>.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|

|

<p>If no prompt can be found in the dynamic environment with the given tag,

an error is signaled. Otherwise all arguments are passed to the
|

|
|
prompt’s handler, along with the captured continuation, if necessary.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If the prompt’s handler can be proven to not reference the captured
|
||
|
|
continuation, no continuation is allocated. This decision happens
|
||
|
|
dynamically, at run-time; the general case is that the continuation may
|
||
|
|
be captured, and thus resumed. A reinstated continuation will have its
|
||
|
|
arguments pushed on the stack from slot 0, as if from a multiple-value
|
||
|
|
return, and control resumes in the caller. Thus to the calling
|
||
|
|
function, a call to <code class="code">abort-to-prompt</code> looks like any other function
|
||
|
|
call.

</p>

<p>If an abort is made to this prompt, control will jump to the handler.

The handler will expect a multiple-value return as if from a call with
|
||
|
|
the procedure at <var class="var">proc-slot</var>, with the reified partial continuation
|
||
|
|
as the first argument, followed by the values returned to the handler.
|
||
|
|
If control returns to the handler, the prompt is already popped off by
|
||
|
|
the abort mechanism. (Guile’s <code class="code">prompt</code> implements Felleisen’s
|
||
|
|
<em class="dfn">–F–</em> operator.)
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If <var class="var">escape-only?</var> is nonzero, the prompt will be marked as
|
||
|
|
escape-only, which allows an abort to this prompt to avoid reifying the
|
||
|
|
continuation.
