6.1.7.2 Initial and Final Execution</H2> <P>
The <TT>initially</TT> and <TT>finally</TT> constructs evaluate forms that occur before and after the loop body. <P>
The <TT>initially</TT> construct causes the supplied <I>compound-forms</I> to be evaluated in the loop prologue, which precedes all loop code except for initial settings supplied by constructs <TT>with</TT>, <TT>for</TT>, or <TT>as</TT>. The code for any <TT>initially</TT> clauses is executed in the order in which the clauses appeared in the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="m_loop.htm#loop"><B>loop</B></A>. <P>
The <TT>finally</TT> construct causes the supplied <I>compound-forms</I> to be evaluated in the loop epilogue after normal iteration terminates. The code for any <TT>finally</TT> clauses is executed in the order in which the clauses appeared in the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="m_loop.htm#loop"><B>loop</B></A>. The collected code is executed once in the loop epilogue before any implicit values are returned from the accumulation clauses. An explicit transfer of control (e.g., by <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="m_return.htm#return"><B>return</B></A>, <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="s_go.htm#go"><B>go</B></A>, or <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="s_throw.htm#throw"><B>throw</B></A>) from the loop body, however, will exit the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="m_loop.htm#loop"><B>loop</B></A> without executing the epilogue code. <P>
Clauses such as <TT>return</TT>, <TT>always</TT>, <TT>never</TT>, and <TT>thereis</TT> can bypass the <TT>finally</TT> clause. <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="m_return.htm#return"><B>return</B></A> (or <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="s_ret_fr.htm#return-from"><B>return-from</B></A>, if the <TT>named</TT> option was supplied) can be used after <TT>finally</TT> to return values from a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="m_loop.htm#loop"><B>loop</B></A>. Such an <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_e.htm#explicit_return"><I>explicit return</I></A> inside the <TT>finally</TT> clause takes precedence over returning the accumulation from clauses supplied by such keywords as <TT>collect</TT>, <TT>nconc</TT>, <TT>append</TT>, <TT>sum</TT>, <TT>count</TT>, <TT>maximize</TT>, and <TT>minimize</TT>; the accumulation values for these preempted clauses are not returned by <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="m_loop.htm#loop"><B>loop</B></A> if <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="m_return.htm#return"><B>return</B></A> or <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="s_ret_fr.htm#return-from"><B>return-from</B></A> is used. <P>
