Meta-Language Primitives

Typedefs
typedef state_t	slime_t
	An abstract type representing a self-adjusting core computation.
Functions
slime_t *	slime_open (void)
	Start a new computation.
slime_t *	slime_current (void)
	Get the current computation.
void	slime_switch (slime_t *slime)
	Switch to an existing computation.
void	slime_kill (void *ptr)
	Kill a top-level allocation.
void	slime_propagate (void)
	Propagate the current computation.
void	slime_close (slime_t *slime)
	Close the given computation.
void	slime_meta_start (void)
	Set current time to computation's start-time.
void	slime_meta_end (void)
	Set current time to computation's end-time.
int	slime_meta_check (void)
	Returns -1 for start, 1 for end, and 0 for neither.
void *	modref_deref (modref_t *m)
	Inspect the value of a modref. This is the meta-level analogue to read.
