// This module provides recursion combinators:
//	- a linear recursion combinator.

// Acknoledgements:
//	- recursion combinators are inspired by Manfred von Thun's article
//		"Recursion Theory and Joy"
//		(http://www.latrobe.edu.au/philosophy/phimvt/joy/j05cmp.html)

// Notes:
//	- recursion combinators produce a function, which implements
//	their respective recusion patterns. String lambdas are inlined, if possible.

		// summary:
		//		Generates a function for the linear recursion pattern.
		//		All parameter functions are called in the context of "this" object.
		// cond:
		//		The lambda expression, which is used to detect the termination of recursion.
		//		It accepts the same parameter as the generated recursive function itself.
		//		This function should return "true", if the recursion should be stopped,
		//		and the "then" part should be executed. Otherwise the recursion will proceed.
		// then:
		//		The lambda expression, which is called upon termination of the recursion.
		//		It accepts the same parameters as the generated recursive function itself.
		//		The returned value will be returned as the value of the generated function.
		// before:
		//		The lambda expression, which is called before the recursive step.
		//		It accepts the same parameter as the generated recursive function itself.
		//		The returned value should be an array, which is used to call
		//		the generated function recursively.
		// above:
		//		The lambda expression, which is called after the recursive step.
		//		It accepts two parameters: the returned value from the recursive step, and
		//		the original array of parameters used with all other functions.
		//		The returned value will be returned as the value of the generated function.

For documentation only:

1) The original recursive version:

var linrec1 = function(cond, then, before, after){
	var cond   = df.lambda(cond),
		then   = df.lambda(then),
		before = df.lambda(before),
		after  = df.lambda(after);
	return function(){
		if(cond.apply(this, arguments)){
			return then.apply(this, arguments);
		}
		var args = before.apply(this, arguments);
		var ret  = arguments.callee.apply(this, args);
		return after.call(this, ret, arguments);
	};
};

2) The original iterative version (before minification and inlining):

var linrec2 = function(cond, then, before, after){
	var cond   = df.lambda(cond),
		then   = df.lambda(then),
		before = df.lambda(before),
		after  = df.lambda(after);
	return function(){
		var args = arguments, top, ret;
		// 1st part
		for(; !cond.apply(this, args); args = before.apply(this, args)){
			top = {prev: top, args: args};
		}
		ret = then.apply(this, args);
		//2nd part
		for(; top; top = top.prev){
			ret = after.call(this, ret, top.args);
		}
		return ret;
	};
};
