Name forking
Sometimes one has a single name but wants more that are determined by it, deterministically:
use adapton::macros::*; use adapton::engine::*; manage::init_dcg(); // Run 1, start with `name_unit()`: let u : Name = name_unit(); let (u1,u2) = fork!( u ); let (u3,u4) = fork!( u1 ); // Run 2, start with the same name, `name_unit()`: let w : Name = name_unit(); let (w1,w2) = fork!( w ); let (w3,w4) = fork!( w1 ); // The name forks consist of the same names between runs 1 and 2: assert_eq!(u2, w2); assert_eq!(u3, w3); assert_eq!(u4, w4);
In the context of incremental computation, the archivist names the output of their computation by the names of its input.
