[bug#50614] [PATCH] build: utils: Add ‘list-when’ macro.


From: Xinglu Chen
Subject: [bug#50614] [PATCH] build: utils: Add ‘list-when’ macro.
Date: Fri, 17 Sep 2021 10:26:41 +0200

* guix/build/utils.scm (list-when): New syntax
* tests/build-utils.scm ("list-when: expr1 is non-#f", list-when: expr1 is #f"):
  Test it.
* guix.texi (Build Utilities): Document it.
---
Changes since v1:

* Rename ‘optional’ to ‘list-when’.

* Make

    (list-when test consequent ...)

  equivalent to

    (if tests
        (list consequent ...)
        '())

+This section documents some miscellaneous utilities that are useful to
+have.
+
+@deffn {Scheme Syntax} list-when @var{test} @var{consequent} @dots{}
+Like @code{when} (@pxref{Conditionals,,, guile, GNU Guile Reference
+Manual}), but if @var{test} evaluates to true, return @code{(list
+@var{consequent} @dots{})}, and if @var{test} evaluates to false, return
+the empty list.  This is replaces the following idiom:
+@end deffn
+
+@lisp
+(if @var{test}
+    (list @var{consequent} @dots{})
+    '())
+@end lisp
+
+with this:
+
+@lisp
+(list-when @var{test} @var{consequent} @dots{})
+@end lisp
+
+It can be useful when certain targets require an additional configure
+flags, e.g.,
+
+@lisp
+(arguments
+ `(#:configure-flags (list "--localstatedir=/var"
+                           "--sysconfdir=/etc"
+                           ,@@(list-when (hurd-target?) "--with-courage"))))
