<p><a name="index-guile-iterators-2855"></a><a name="index-g_t_003cgdb_003aiterator_003e-2856"></a>
A simple iterator facility is provided to allow, for example,
iterating over the set of program symbols without having to first
construct a list of all of them. A useful contribution would be
to add support for SRFI 41 and SRFI 45.
<div class="defun">
&mdash; Scheme Procedure: <b>make-iterator</b><var> object progress next!<a name="index-make_002diterator-2857"></a></var><br>
<blockquote><p>A <code>&lt;gdb:iterator&gt;</code> object is constructed with the <code>make-iterator</code>
procedure. It takes three arguments: the object to be iterated over,
an object to record the progress of the iteration, and a procedure to
return the next element in the iteration, or an implementation chosen value
to denote the end of iteration.
<p>By convention, end of iteration is marked with <code>(end-of-iteration)</code>,
and may be tested with the <code>end-of-iteration?</code> predicate.
The result of <code>(end-of-iteration)</code> is chosen so that it is not
otherwise used by the <code>(gdb)</code> module. If you are using
<code>&lt;gdb:iterator&gt;</code> in your own code it is your responsibility to
maintain this invariant.
<p>A trivial example for illustration's sake:
<pre class="smallexample"> (use-modules (gdb iterator))
(define my-list (list 1 2 3))
(define iter
(make-iterator my-list my-list
(lambda (iter)
(let ((l (iterator-progress iter)))
(if (eq? l '())
(end-of-iteration)
(begin
(set-iterator-progress! iter (cdr l))
(car l)))))))
</pre>
<p>Here is a slightly more realistic example, which computes a list of all the
functions in <code>my-global-block</code>.
<pre class="smallexample"> (use-modules (gdb iterator))
(define this-sal (find-pc-line (frame-pc (selected-frame))))
(define this-symtab (sal-symtab this-sal))
(define this-global-block (symtab-global-block this-symtab))
(define syms-iter (make-block-symbols-iterator this-global-block))
(define functions (iterator-filter symbol-function? syms-iter))
</pre>
