%%	                      Env)
%% %% This does nothing interesting; get(foo, NewEnv) yields %% 1 and get(bar, NewEnv) yields %% 2, but there is more overhead than if the {@link %% bind_list/3} function had been used. %% %% 
%%    NewEnv = bind_recursive([foo, bar], [1, 2],
%%                            fun (V, E) -> {V, E} end,
%%                            Env)
%% %% Here, however, get(foo, NewEnv) will yield {1, %% NewEnv} and get(bar, NewEnv) will yield {2, %% NewEnv}, i.e., the environment NewEnv contains %% recursive bindings.

The %% important thing to keep in mind is, that when we need a new key, we %% are generally in mid-traversal of a syntax tree, and existing names %% in the tree may be closely grouped and evenly distributed or even %% forming a compact range (often having been generated by a "gensym", %% or by this very algorithm itself). This means that if we generate an %% identifier whose value is too close to those already seen (i.e., %% which are in the environment), it is very probable that we will %% shadow a not-yet-seen identifier further down in the tree, the result %% being that we induce another later renaming, and end up renaming most %% of the identifiers, completely contrary to our intention. We need to %% generate new identifiers in a way that avoids such systematic %% collisions. %% %% One way of getting a new key to try when the previous attempt failed %% is of course to e.g. add one to the last tried value. However, in %% general it's a bad idea to try adjacent identifiers: the percentage %% of retries will typically increase a lot, so you may lose big on the %% extra lookups while gaining only a little from the quicker %% computation. %% %% We want an initial range that is large enough for most typical cases. %% If we start with, say, a range of 10, we might quickly use up most of %% the values in the range 1-10 (or 1-100) for new top-level variables - %% but as we start traversing the syntax tree, it is quite likely that %% exactly those variables will be encountered again (this depends on %% how the names in the tree were created), and will then need to be %% renamed. If we instead begin with a larger range, it is less likely %% that any top-level names that we introduce will shadow names that we %% will find in the tree. Of course we cannot know how large is large %% enough: for any initial range, there is some syntax tree that uses %% all the values in that range, and thus any top-level names introduced %% will shadow names in the tree. The point is to avoid this happening %% all the time - a range of about 1000 seems enough for most programs. %% %% The following values have been shown to work well: -define(MINIMUM_RANGE, 1000). -define(START_RANGE_FACTOR, 50). -define(MAX_RETRIES, 2). % retries before enlarging range -define(ENLARGE_FACTOR, 10). % range enlargment factor -ifdef(DEBUG). %% If you want to use these process dictionary counters, make sure to %% initialise them to zero before you call any of the key-generating %% functions. %% %% new_key_calls total number of calls %% new_key_retries failed key generation attempts %% new_key_max maximum generated integer value %% -define(measure_calls(), put(new_key_calls, 1 + get(new_key_calls))). -define(measure_max_key(N), case N > get(new_key_max) of true -> put(new_key_max, N); false -> ok end). -define(measure_retries(N), put(new_key_retries, get(new_key_retries) + N)). -else. -define(measure_calls(), ok). -define(measure_max_key(N), ok). -define(measure_retries(N), ok). -endif. %% ===================================================================== %% @spec new_key(Env::environment()) -> integer() %% %% @doc Returns an integer which is not already used as key in the %% environment. New integers are generated using an algorithm which %% tries to keep the values randomly distributed within a reasonably %% small range relative to the number of entries in the environment. %% %%
