### 4`` Module-Processing Helpers

#### 4.1`` Reading Module Source Code

(require syntax/modread) | package: base

> procedure (with-module-reading-parameterization thunk) → any
> thunk : (-> any)

Calls thunk with all reader parameters reset to their default values.

> > procedure
> > (check-module-form |  | stx |
> > |  | expected-module-sym |
> > |  | source-v) |
> → (or/c syntax? false/c)
> stx : (or/c syntax? eof-object?)
> expected-module-sym : symbol?
> source-v : (or/c string? false/c)

Inspects stx to check whether evaluating it will declare a module—at least if module is bound in the top-level to Racket’s module. The syntax object stx can contain a compiled expression. Also, stx can be an end-of-file, on the grounds that read-syntax can produce an end-of-file.

The expected-module-sym argument is currently ignored. In previous versions, the module form stx was obliged to declare a module who name matched expected-module-sym.

If stx can declare a module in an appropriate top-level, then the check-module-form procedure returns a syntax object that certainly will declare a module (adding explicit context to the leading module if necessary) in any top-level. Otherwise, if source-v is not #f, a suitable exception is raised using the write form of the source in the message; if source-v is #f, #f is returned.

If stx is eof or eof wrapped as a syntax object, then an error is raised or #f is returned.

#### 4.2`` Getting Module Compiled Code

> rkt-try-ss? : boolean? = #t

Returns a compiled expression for the declaration of the module specified by path and submodule-path, where submodule-path is empty for a root module or a list for a submodule.

The compiled-subdir argument defaults to "compiled"; it specifies the sub-directory to search for a compiled version of the module. The roots list specifies a compiled-file search path in the same way as the current-compiled-file-roots parameter.

The compile-proc argument defaults to compile. This procedure is used to compile module source if an already-compiled version is not available. If submodule-path is not '(), then compile-proc must return a compiled module form.

The ext-proc argument defaults to #f. If it is not #f, it must be a procedure of two arguments that is called when a native-code version of path should be used. In that case, the arguments to ext-proc are the path for the extension, and a boolean indicating whether the extension is a _loader file (#t) or not (#f).

The rkt-try-ss? argument defaults to #t. If it is not #f, then if path ends in ".rkt", then the corresponding file ending in ".ss" will be tried as well.

The choose-proc argument is a procedure that takes three paths: a source path, a ".zo" file path, and an extension path (for a non-_loader extension). Some of the paths may not exist. The result should be either 'src, 'zo, 'so, or #f, indicating which variant should be used or (in the case of #f) that the default choice should be used.

The default choice is computed as follows: if a ".zo" version of path is available and newer than path itself (in one of the directories specified by compiled-subdir), then it is used instead of the source. Native-code versions of path are ignored, unless only a native-code non-_loader version exists (i.e., path itself does not exist). A _loader extension is selected a last resort.

If an extension is preferred or is the only file that exists, it is supplied to ext-proc when ext-proc is #f, or an exception is raised (to report that an extension file cannot be used) when ext-proc is #f.

If notify-proc is supplied, it is called for the file (source, ".zo" or extension) that is chosen.

If read-syntax-proc is provided, it is used to read the module from a source file (but not from a bytecode file).

> |  |  | = |  | (lambda (src zo so) #f)
> rkt-try-ss? : boolean? = #t

Produces two values. The first is the path of the latest source or compiled file for the module specified by path; this result is the path of the file that get-module-code would read to produce a compiled module expression. The second value is 'src, 'zo, or 'so, depending on whether the first value represents a Racket source file, a compiled bytecode file, or a native library file.

The compiled-subdir, roots, choose-proc, and rkt-try-ss? arguments are interpreted the same as by get-module-code.

The submodule? argument represents whether the desired module is a submodule of the one specified by path. When submodule? is true, the result is never a 'so path, as native libraries cannot provide submodules.

> | roots |  | : |  | (listof (or/c path? 'same))
> |  |  | = |  | (current-compiled-file-roots)
> sub-path : (or/c path-string? 'same)

Constructs the path used to store compilation metadata for a source file stored in the directory path. The argument roots specifies the possible root directories to consider and to search for an existing file. The sub-path arguments specify the subdirectories and filename of the result relative to the chosen root. For example, the compiled ".zo" file for "/path/to/source.rkt" might be stored in (get-metadata-path (build-path "/path/to") "compiled" "source_rkt.zo").

> parameter (moddep-current-open-input-file)
> → (path-string? . -> . input-port?)
> (moddep-current-open-input-file proc) → void?
> proc : (path-string? . -> . input-port?)

A parameter whose value is used like open-input-file to read a module source or ".zo" file.

> > struct
> > (struct |  | exn:get-module-code exn:fail (path)
> > |  | #:extra-constructor-name make-exn:get-module-code)
> path : path?

An exception structure type for exceptions raised by get-module-code.

#### 4.3`` Resolving Module Paths to File Paths

(require syntax/modresolve) | package: base

> > procedure
> > (resolve-module-path |  | module-path-v |
> > |  | rel-to-path-v) |
> | → |  |
> (or/c path? symbol?
> (cons/c 'submod (cons/c (or/c path? symbol?) (listof symbol?))))
> module-path-v : module-path?
> rel-to-path-v : (or/c path-string? (-> any) false/c)

Resolves a module path to filename path. The module path is resolved relative to rel-to-path-v if it is a path string (assumed to be for a file), to the directory result of calling the thunk if it is a thunk, or to the current directory otherwise.

> > procedure
> > (resolve-module-path-index |  | module-path-index |
> > |  | rel-to-path-v) |
> | → |  |
> (or/c path? symbol?
> (cons/c 'submod (cons/c (or/c path? symbol?) (listof symbol?))))
> module-path-index : module-path-index?
> rel-to-path-v : (or/c path-string? (-> any) false/c)

Like resolve-module-path but the input is a module path index; in this case, the rel-to-path-v base is used where the module path index contains the “self” index. If module-path-index depends on the “self” module path index, then an exception is raised unless rel-to-path-v is a path string.

#### 4.4`` Simplifying Module Paths

(require syntax/modcollapse) | package: base

> > procedure
> > (collapse-module-path |  | module-path-v |
> > |  | rel-to-module-path-v) |
> → (or/c path? module-path?)
> module-path-v : module-path?
> | rel-to-module-path-v |  | : |  |
> (or/c module-path?
> (-> module-path?))

Returns a “simplified” module path by combining module-path-v with rel-to-module-path-v, where the latter must have one of the following forms: a '(lib ....) or symbol module path; a '(file ....) module path; a '(planet ....) module path; a path; '(quote symbol); a '(submod base symbol ...) module path where base would be allowed; or a thunk to generate one of those.

The result can be a path if module-path-v contains a path element that is needed for the result, or if rel-to-module-path-v is a non-string path that is needed for the result. Similarly, the result can be 'submod wrapping a path. Otherwise, the result is a module path in the sense of module-path?.

When the result is a 'lib or 'planet module path, it is normalized so that equivalent module paths are represented by equal? results. When the result is a 'submod module path, it contains only symbols after the base module path, and the base is normalized in the case of a 'lib or 'planet base.

Examples:
> > (collapse-module-path "m.rkt" '(lib "n/main.rkt"))
> '(lib "n/m.rkt")
> > (collapse-module-path '(submod "." x) '(lib "n/main.rkt"))
> '(submod (lib "n/main.rkt") x)
> > (collapse-module-path '(submod "." x) '(submod (lib "n/main.rkt") y))
> '(submod (lib "n/main.rkt") y x)

> > procedure
> > (collapse-module-path-index |  | module-path-index |
> > |  | rel-to-module-path-v) |
> → (or/c path? module-path?)
> module-path-index : module-path-index?
> | rel-to-module-path-v |  | : |  |
> (or/c module-path?
> (-> module-path?))

Like collapse-module-path, but the input is a module path index; in this case, the rel-to-module-path-v base is used where the module path index contains the “self” index.

#### 4.5`` Inspecting Modules and Module Dependencies

(require syntax/moddep) | package: base

Re-exports syntax/modread, syntax/modcode, syntax/modcollapse, and syntax/modresolve, in addition to the following:

> procedure (show-import-tree module-path-v) → void?
> module-path-v : module-path?

A debugging aid that prints the import hierarchy starting from a given module path.
