compute-restarts (Function)

Syntax:
— Function: compute-restarts &optional condition restarts
Arguments and Values:

condition—a condition object, or nil.

restarts—a list of restarts.

Description:

compute-restarts uses the dynamic state of the program to compute a list of the restarts which are currently active.

The resulting list is ordered so that the innermost (more-recently established) restarts are nearer the head of the list.

When condition is non-nil, only those restarts are considered that are either explicitly associated with that condition, or not associated with any condition; that is, the excluded restarts are those that are associated with a non-empty set of conditions of which the given condition is not an element. If condition is nil, all restarts are considered.

compute-restarts returns all applicable restarts, including anonymous ones, even if some of them have the same name as others and would therefore not be found by find-restart when given a symbol argument.

Implementations are permitted, but not required, to return distinct lists from repeated calls to compute-restarts while in the same dynamic environment. The consequences are undefined if the list returned by compute-restarts is every modified.

Examples:
 ;; One possible way in which an interactive debugger might present
 ;; restarts to the user.
 (defun invoke-a-restart ()
   (let ((restarts (compute-restarts)))
     (do ((i 0 (+ i 1)) (r restarts (cdr r))) ((null r))
       (format t "~&~D: ~A~%" i (car r)))
     (let ((n nil) (k (length restarts)))
       (loop (when (and (typep n 'integer) (>= n 0) (< n k))
               (return t))
             (format t "~&Option: ")
             (setq n (read))
             (fresh-line))
       (invoke-restart-interactively (nth n restarts)))))

 (restart-case (invoke-a-restart)
   (one () 1)
   (two () 2)
   (nil () :report "Who knows?" 'anonymous)
   (one () 'I)
   (two () 'II))
▷ 0: ONE
▷ 1: TWO
▷ 2: Who knows?
▷ 3: ONE
▷ 4: TWO
▷ 5: Return to Lisp Toplevel.
▷ Option: 4

 ;; Note that in addition to user-defined restart points, COMPUTE-RESTARTS
 ;; also returns information about any system-supplied restarts, such as
 ;; the "Return to Lisp Toplevel" restart offered above.

Affected By:
