define-resumption declares a resumable control signal that can be handled by resumable.

Syntax

(define-resumption ⟨constructor⟩)
(define-resumption (⟨constructor⟩ ⟨arg-type⟩ ...)
  ⟨docstring⟩)

Semantics

  • define-resumption is a toplevel definition form.
  • A resumption has exactly one constructor, which also determines the resumption type’s name.
  • Unlike exceptions, resumptions are intended to transfer control to an enclosing resumable handler via resume-to.
  • Optional docstrings are allowed.

Example

(define-resumption (ServeRaw Egg)
  "Suggest that the egg be served raw.")
