eval.rs

//! Core evaluator.
//!
//! Threads a mutable `Env` and the immutable `FnRegistry<H>` through
//! recursive eval. Special forms are dispatched by head symbol before
//! function application. Closures capture a snapshot of the current env
//! at lambda creation; native functions live in the registry and are
//! referred to in values by name.

// Tatara-lisp guarantees TCO in the sense Scheme R7RS requires: a
// procedure call in tail position never grows the stack. This is
// implemented as a trampoline driven from `call_closure`.
//
// "Tail position" is the structural notion: the form whose value
// becomes the value of the surrounding form. The tail positions
// supported here:
//
//   * `if` — both branches
//   * `cond` / `when` / `unless` — last form of the matching body
//   * `begin` / `let` / `let*` / `letrec` — last form of the body
//   * `and` / `or` — last form when prior forms didn't short-circuit
//   * Lambda body — last form
//
// `eval_in_tail` mirrors `eval_in` but, for closure-application forms
// in tail position, returns `TailResult::Resume(closure, args)` rather
// than calling `apply`. The outer trampoline in `call_closure` then
// rebinds and loops without consuming a stack frame.

/// Result of tail-position evaluation.
