Can someone help clarify SMLofNJ.Cont.isolate for me? IIUC, the
semantics of isolate is something along the lines of:
v ::= ... | cont(E') (* captured continuation *)
E[isolate \x.e] ---> E[cont(E')]
where E' = e[x := []]
and the semantics of throw is roughly:
E[throw cont(E') v] ---> E'[v]
So effectively, `throw (isolate \().e) ()' should be equivalent to
`abort e', where
E[abort e] ---> e
Yes?
Thanks,
Dave
