@title[#:tag "chaperones"]{Impersonators and Chaperones}

An @deftech{impersonator} is a wrapper for a value where the wrapper
redirects some of the value's operations. Impersonators apply only to procedures,
@tech{structures} for which an accessor or mutator is available,
@tech{structure types}, @tech{hash tables}, @tech{vectors},
@tech{box}es, @tech{channels}, and @tech{prompt tag}s.
An impersonator is @racket[equal?] to the original
value, but not @racket[eq?] to the original value.

A @deftech{chaperone} is a kind of impersonator whose refinement of a value's
operation is restricted to side effects (including, in particular,
raising an exception) or chaperoning values supplied to or produced by
the operation. For example, a vector chaperone can redirect
@racket[vector-ref] to raise an exception if the accessed vector slot
contains a string, or it can cause the result of @racket[vector-ref]
to be a chaperoned variant of the value that is in the accessed vector
slot, but it cannot redirect @racket[vector-ref] to produce a value
that is arbitrarily different from the value in the vector slot.

A non-@tech{chaperone} @tech{impersonator}, in contrast, can refine an operation to swap one
value for any other. An impersonator cannot be applied to an immutable value
or refine the access to an immutable field in an instance of a @tech{structure
type}, since arbitrary redirection of an operation amounts to
mutation of the impersonated value.

Beware that each of the following operations can be redirected to an
arbitrary procedure through an impersonator on the operation's
argument---assuming that the operation is available to the creator of
the impersonator:

@operations[@t{a structure-field accessor}
            @t{a structure-field mutator}
            @t{a structure type property accessor}
            @t{application of a procedure}
            unbox set-box!
            vector-ref vector-set!
            hash-ref hash-set hash-set! hash-remove hash-remove!
            channel-get channel-put
            call-with-continuation-prompt
            abort-current-continuation]

Derived operations, such as printing a value, can be redirected
through impersonators due to their use of accessor functions. The
@racket[equal?], @racket[equal-hash-code], and
@racket[equal-secondary-hash-code] operations, in contrast, may bypass
impersonators (but they are not obliged to).

In addition to redirecting operations that work on a value, a
impersonator can include @deftech{impersonator properties} for an impersonated
value. An @tech{impersonator property} is similar to a @tech{structure
type property}, but it applies to impersonators instead of structure
types and their instances.


@defproc[(impersonator? [v any/c]) boolean?]{

Returns @racket[#t] if @racket[v] is an @tech{impersonator} created by
procedures like @racket[impersonate-procedure] or
@racket[impersonate-struct], @racket[#f] otherwise.

Programs and libraries generally should avoid @racket[impersonator?] and
treat impersonators the same as non-impersonator values. In rare cases,
@racket[impersonator?] may be needed to guard against redirection by an
impersonator of an operation to an arbitrary procedure.

A limitation of @racket[impersonator?] is that it does @emph{not}
recognize an @tech{impersonator} that is created by instantiating a
structure type with the @racket[prop:impersonator-of] property. The
limitation reflects how those impersonators cannot redirect structure
access and mutation operations to arbitrary procedures.}


@defproc[(chaperone? [v any/c]) boolean?]{

Returns @racket[#t] if @racket[v] is a @tech{chaperone}, @racket[#f] otherwise.

Programs and libraries generally should avoid @racket[chaperone?] for
the same reason that they should avoid @racket[impersonator?]. A true
value for @racket[chaperone?] implies a true value of
@racket[impersonator?].}


@defproc[(impersonator-of? [v1 any/c] [v2 any/c]) boolean?]{

Indicates whether @racket[v1] can be considered equivalent modulo
impersonators to @racket[v2].

Any two values that are @racket[eq?] to one another are also @racket[impersonator-of?].
For values that include no impersonators, @racket[v1] and @racket[v2] are
considered impersonators of each other if they are @racket[equal?].

If at least one of @racket[v1] or @racket[v2] is an impersonator:
@itemlist[
          @item{If @racket[v1] impersonates @racket[_v1*] then @racket[(impersonator-of? v1 v2)]
                   is @racket[#t] if and only if @racket[(impersonator-of? _v1* v2)] is @racket[#t].}
          @item{If @racket[v2] is a non-interposing impersonator that impersonates @racket[_v2*], i.e.,
                   all of its interposition procedures are @racket[#f], then @racket[(impersonator-of? v1 v2)]
                   is @racket[#t] if and only if @racket[(impersonator-of? v1 _v2*)] is @racket[#t].}
          @item{When @racket[v2] is an impersonator constructed with at least one non-@racket[#f] interposition procedure,
                     but @racket[v1] is not an impersonator then @racket[(impersonator-of? v1 v2)] is @racket[#f].}]}

Otherwise, if neither @racket[_v1] or @racket[_v2] is an impersonator, but either
of them contains an impersonator as a subpart (e.g., @racket[_v1] is a list with
an impersonator as one of its elements), then @racket[(impersonator-of? _v1 _v2)]
proceeds by comparing @racket[_v1] and @racket[_v2] recursively (as with
@racket[equal?]), returning true if all subparts are @racket[impersonator-of?].

@examples[

                  (list add1 sub1))
]

@defproc[(chaperone-of? [v1 any/c] [v2 any/c]) boolean?]{

Indicates whether @racket[v1] can be considered equivalent modulo
chaperones to @racket[v2].

For values that include no chaperones or other impersonators,
@racket[v1] and @racket[v2] can be considered chaperones of each other
if they are @racket[equal?], except that corresponding mutable
vectors, boxes, strings, byte strings, and mutable structures within
@racket[v1] and @racket[v2] must be @racket[eq?].

Otherwise, chaperones and other impersonators within @racket[v2] must
be intact within @racket[v1] analogous to way that
@racket[impersonator-of?] requires that impersonators are preserved.
Furthermore, @racket[v1] must not have any non-chaperone impersonators
whose corresponding value in @racket[v2] is not the same impersonator.
Note that @racket[chaperone-of?] implies @racket[impersonator-of?],
but not vice-versa.}


@defproc[(impersonator-ephemeron [v any/c]) ephemeron?]{

Produces an @tech{ephemeron} that can be used to connect the
reachability of @racket[v] (in the sense of garbage collection; see
@secref["gc-model"]) with the reachability of any value for which
@racket[v] is an @tech{impersonator}. That is, the value @racket[v]
will be considered reachable as long as the result ephemeron is
reachable in addition to any value that @racket[v] impersonates
(including itself).}

@defproc[(procedure-impersonator*? [v any/c]) boolean?]{

Returns @racket[#t] for any procedure impersonator that either was produced by
@racket[impersonate-procedure*] or @racket[chaperone-procedure*], or is
an impersonator/chaperone of a value that was created with
@racket[impersonate-procedure*] or @racket[chaperone-procedure*]
(possibly transitively).}

                                [wrapper-proc (or/c procedure? #f)]
                                [prop impersonator-property?]
                                [prop-val any/c] ... ...)
         (and/c procedure? impersonator?)]{

Returns an impersonator procedure that has the same arity, name, and
other attributes as @racket[proc]. When the impersonator procedure is
applied, the arguments are first passed to @racket[wrapper-proc]
(when it is not @racket[#f]), and
then the results from @racket[wrapper-proc] are passed to
@racket[proc]. The @racket[wrapper-proc] can also supply a procedure
that processes the results of @racket[proc].

The arity of @racket[wrapper-proc] must include the arity of
@racket[proc]. The allowed keyword arguments of @racket[wrapper-proc]
must be a superset of the allowed keywords of @racket[proc]. The
required keyword arguments of @racket[wrapper-proc] must be a subset
of the required keywords of @racket[proc].

For applications without keywords, the result of @racket[wrapper-proc]
must be at least the same number of values as supplied to it.
Additional results can be supplied---before the values that correspond
to the supplied values---in the following pattern:

@itemlist[

 @item{An optional procedure, @racket[_result-wrapper-proc], which
       will be applied to the results of @racket[proc]; followed by}

 @item{any number of repetitions of @racket['mark _key _val] (i.e.,
       three values), where the call @racket[_proc] is wrapped to
       install a @tech{continuation mark} @racket[_key] and @racket[_val].}

]

If @racket[_result-wrapper-proc] is produced, it must be a procedure
that accepts as many results as produced by @racket[proc]; it must
return the same number of results. If @racket[_result-wrapper-proc] is
not supplied, then @racket[proc] is called in @tech{tail position}
with respect to the call to the impersonator.

For applications that include keyword arguments, @racket[wrapper-proc]
must return an additional value before any other values but after
@racket[_result-wrapper-proc] and @racket['mark _key _val]
sequences (if any). The additional value must be a
list of replacements for the keyword arguments that were supplied to the
impersonator (i.e., not counting optional arguments that were
not supplied). The arguments must be ordered according to the sorted
order of the supplied arguments' keywords.

If @racket[wrapper-proc] is @racket[#f], then applying the resulting
impersonator is the same as applying @racket[proc]. If
@racket[wrapper-proc] is @racket[#f] and no @racket[prop] is provided, then
@racket[proc] is returned and is not impersonated.

Pairs of @racket[prop] and @racket[prop-val] (the number of arguments
to @racket[impersonate-procedure] must be even) add impersonator properties
or override impersonator-property values of @racket[proc].

If any @racket[prop] is @racket[impersonator-prop:application-mark] and if the
associated @racket[prop-val] is a pair, then the call to @racket[proc]
is wrapped with @racket[with-continuation-mark] using @racket[(car
prop-val)] as the mark key and @racket[(cdr prop-val)] as the mark
value. In addition, if the immediate
continuation frame of the call to the impersonated procedure
includes a value for @racket[(car prop-val)]---that is, if
@racket[call-with-immediate-continuation-mark] would produce a value
for @racket[(car prop-val)] in the call's continuation---then the value is
also installed as an immediate value for @racket[(car prop-val)] as a
mark during the call to @racket[wrapper-proc] (which allows tail-calls
of impersonators with respect to wrapping impersonators to be detected within
@racket[wrapper-proc]).

If the result of @racket[impersonate-procedure*] is applied directly,
then @racket[_orig-proc] is that result. If the result is further

          any/c]{

Returns an impersonator of @racket[v], which redirects certain
operations on the impersonated value. The @racket[orig-proc]s
indicate the operations to redirect, and the corresponding
@racket[redirect-proc]s supply the redirections. The optional
@racket[struct-type] argument, when provided, acts as a witness for
the representation of @racket[v], which must be an instance of
@racket[struct-type].

The protocol for a @racket[redirect-proc] depends on the corresponding
@racket[orig-proc], where @racket[_self] refers to the value to which
@racket[orig-proc] is originally applied:

@itemlist[

 @item{A structure-field accessor: @racket[redirect-proc]
      must accept two arguments, @racket[_self] and the value
      @racket[_field-v] that @racket[orig-proc] produces for
      @racket[v]; it must return a replacement for
      @racket[_field-v]. The corresponding field must not be
      immutable, and either the field's structure type must be
      accessible via the current @tech{inspector} or one of the other
      @racket[orig-proc]s must be a structure-field mutator for the
      same field.}

 @item{A structure-field mutator: @racket[redirect-proc] must accept
      two arguments, @racket[_self] and the value @racket[_field-v]
      supplied to the mutator; it must return a replacement for
      @racket[_field-v] to be propagated to @racket[orig-proc] and
      @racket[v].}

 @item{A property accessor: @racket[redirect-proc] uses the same
       protocol as for a structure-field accessor. The accessor's
       property must have been created with @racket['can-impersonate]
       as the second argument to @racket[make-struct-type-property].}

]

When a @racket[redirect-proc] is @racket[#f], the corresponding
@racket[orig-proc] is unaffected. Supplying @racket[#f] for a
@racket[redirect-proc] is useful to allow its @racket[orig-proc] to
act as a ``witness'' of @racket[v]'s representation and enable the
addition of @racket[prop]s.

Pairs of @racket[prop] and @racket[prop-val] (the number of arguments
to @racket[impersonate-struct] must be odd) add impersonator properties
or override impersonator-property values of @racket[v].

Each @racket[orig-proc] must indicate a distinct operation. If no
@racket[struct-type] and no @racket[orig-proc]s are supplied, then no @racket[prop]s must be
supplied. If @racket[orig-proc]s are supplied only with @racket[#f]
@racket[redirect-proc]s and no @racket[prop]s are supplied, then
@racket[v] is returned and is not impersonated.

If any @racket[orig-proc] is itself an impersonator, then a use of the
accessor or mutator that @racket[orig-proc] impersonates is redirected
for the resulting impersonated structure to use @racket[orig-proc] on
@racket[v] before @racket[redirect-proc] (in the case of accessor) or
after @racket[redirect-proc] (in the case of a mutator).

@racket[vector-ref] and @racket[vector-set!] operations.

The @racket[ref-proc] and @racket[set-proc] arguments must either both be procedures
or both be @racket[#f]. If they are @racket[#f] then @racket[impersonate-vector] does not interpose
on @racket[vec], but still allows attaching impersonator properties.

@racket[vector-ref], and the value that @racket[vector-ref] on
@racket[vec] produces for the given index; it must produce a

          (and/c hash? impersonator?)]{

Returns an impersonator of @racket[hash], which redirects the
@racket[hash-ref], @racket[hash-set!] or @racket[hash-set] (as
applicable), @racket[hash-remove] or @racket[hash-remove!] (as
applicable), @racket[hash-clear] or @racket[hash-clear!] (as
applicable and if @racket[clear-proc] is not @racket[#f]) operations. When
@racket[hash-set], @racket[hash-remove] or @racket[hash-clear] is used on an impersonator of a hash
table, the result is an impersonator with the same redirecting procedures. 
In addition, operations like
@racket[hash-iterate-key] or @racket[hash-map], which extract
keys from the table, use @racket[key-proc] to replace keys extracted
from the table. Operations like @racket[hash-iterate-value] or
@racket[hash-values] implicitly use @racket[hash-ref] and
therefore redirect through @racket[ref-proc]. The @racket[hash-ref-key]
operation uses both @racket[ref-proc] and @racket[key-proc], the
former to lookup the requested key and the latter to extract it.

The @racket[ref-proc] must accept @racket[hash] and a key passed
to @racket[hash-ref]. It must return a replacement key
as well as a procedure. The returned procedure is called only if the
returned key is found in @racket[hash] via @racket[hash-ref], in which
case the procedure is called with @racket[hash], the previously
returned key, and the found value. The returned procedure must itself
return a replacement for the found value. The returned procedure
is ignored by @racket[hash-ref-key].

The @racket[set-proc] must accept @racket[hash], a key passed to
@racket[hash-set!] or @racket[hash-set], and the value passed to
@racket[hash-set!] or @racket[hash-set]; it must produce two values: a
replacement for the key and a replacement for the value. The returned
key and value are used with @racket[hash-set!] or @racket[hash-set] on
the original @racket[hash] to install the value.

The @racket[remove-proc] must accept @racket[hash] and a key passed to
@racket[hash-remove!] or @racket[hash-remove]; it must produce a
replacement for the key, which is used with @racket[hash-remove!] or
@racket[hash-remove] on the original @racket[hash] to remove any
mapping using the (impersonator-replaced) key.

The @racket[key-proc] must accept @racket[hash] and a key that has
been extracted from @racket[hash] (by @racket[hash-ref-key],
@racket[hash-iterate-key], or other operations that use
@racket[hash-iterate-key] internally); it must produce a replacement
for the key, which is then reported as a key extracted from the table.

If @racket[clear-proc] is not @racket[#f], it must accept
@racket[hash] as an argument, and its result is ignored. The fact that
@racket[clear-proc] returns (as opposed to raising an exception or
otherwise escaping) grants the capability to remove all keys from @racket[hash].
If @racket[clear-proc] is @racket[#f], then @racket[hash-clear] or
@racket[hash-clear!] on the impersonator is implemented using
@racket[hash-iterate-key] and @racket[hash-remove] or @racket[hash-remove!].

If @racket[equal-key-proc] is not @racket[#f], it effectively
interposes on calls to @racket[equal?], @racket[equal-hash-code], and
@racket[equal-secondary-hash-code] for the keys of @racket[hash]. The
@racket[equal-key-proc] must accept as its arguments @racket[hash] and
a key that is either mapped by @racket[hash] or passed to
@racket[hash-ref], etc., where the latter has potentially been
adjusted by the corresponding @racket[ref-proc], etc@|.__| The result
is a value that is passed to @racket[equal?],
@racket[equal-hash-code], and @racket[equal-secondary-hash-code] as
needed to hash and compare keys. In the case of @racket[hash-set!] or
@racket[hash-set], the key that is passed to @racket[equal-key-proc]
is the one stored in the hash table for future lookup.

The @racket[hash-iterate-value], @racket[hash-map], or
@racket[hash-for-each] functions use a combination of
@racket[hash-iterate-key] and @racket[hash-ref]. If a key
produced by @racket[key-proc] does not yield a value through
@racket[hash-ref], then the @exnraise[exn:fail:contract].

Pairs of @racket[prop] and @racket[prop-val] (the number of arguments
to @racket[impersonate-hash] must be odd) add impersonator properties
or override impersonator-property values of @racket[hash].

In the case of an immutable hash table, two impersonated hash tables count as
``the same value'' (for purposes of @racket[impersonator-of?]) when their
redirection procedures were originally attached to a hash table by the same
call to @racket[impersonate-hash] or @racket[chaperone-hash] (and potentially
propagated by @racket[hash-set], @racket[hash-remove], or @racket[hash-clear]),
as long as the content of the first hash table is @racket[impersonator-of?] of
the second hash table.

          (and/c continuation-prompt-tag? impersonator?)]{

Returns an impersonator of @racket[prompt-tag], which redirects
the @racket[call-with-continuation-prompt] and
@racket[abort-current-continuation] operations.

The @racket[handle-proc] must accept the values that the handler
of a continuation prompt would take and it must produce replacement
values, which will be passed to the handler.

The @racket[abort-proc] must accept the values passed to
@racket[abort-current-continuation]; it must produce replacement
values, which are aborted to the appropriate prompt.

The @racket[cc-guard-proc] must accept the values produced by
@racket[call-with-continuation-prompt] in the case that a
non-composable continuation is applied to replace the continuation
that is delimited by the prompt, but only if
@racket[abort-current-continuation] is not later used to abort the
continuation delimited by the prompt (in which case
@racket[abort-proc] is used).

The @racket[callcc-impersonate-proc] must accept a procedure that
guards the result of a continuation captured by
@racket[call-with-current-continuation] with the impersonated prompt
tag. The @racket[callcc-impersonate-proc] is applied (under a
@tech{continuation barrier}) when the captured continuation is applied
to refine a guard function (initially @racket[values]) that is
specific to the delimiting prompt; this prompt-specific guard is
ultimately composed with any @racket[cc-guard-proc] that is in effect
at the delimiting prompt, and it is not used in the same case that a
@racket[cc-guard-proc] is not used (i.e., when
@racket[abort-current-continuation] is used to abort to the
prompt). In the special case where the delimiting prompt at
application time is a thread's built-in initial prompt,
@racket[callcc-impersonate-proc] is ignored (partly on the grounds
that the initial prompt's result is ignored).

@defthing[prop:impersonator-of struct-type-property?]{

A @tech{structure type property} (see @secref["structprops"]) that
supplies a procedure for extracting an impersonated value from a structure
that represents an impersonator. The property is used for @racket[impersonator-of?]
as well as @racket[equal?].

The property value must be a procedure of one argument, which is a
structure whose structure type has the property. The result can be
@racket[#f] to indicate the structure does not represent an impersonator,
otherwise the result is a value for which the original structure is an
impersonator (so the original structure is an @racket[impersonator-of?] and
@racket[equal?] to the result value). The result value must have the
same @racket[prop:impersonator-of] and @racket[prop:equal+hash] property
values as the original structure, if any, and the property values must be
inherited from the same structure type (which ensures some consistency
between @racket[impersonator-of?] and @racket[equal?]).

@tech{Impersonator property} predicates and accessors applied to a
structure with the @racket[prop:impersonator-of] property first check
for the property on the immediate structure, and if it is not found,
the value produced by the @racket[prop:impersonator-of] procedure is
checked (recursively).

@defthing[prop:authentic struct-type-property?]{

A @tech{structure type property} that declares a structure type as
@deftech{authentic}. The value associated with the property is ignored;
the presence of the property itself makes the structure type
authentic.

Instances of an @tech{authentic} structure type cannot be impersonated
via @racket[impersonate-struct] or chaperoned via
@racket[chaperone-struct]. As a consequence, an instance of an
@tech{authentic} structure type can be given a contract (see
@racket[struct/c]) only if it is a @tech{flat contract}.

Declaring a structure type as @tech{authentic} can prevent unwanted
structure impersonation, but exposed structure types normally should
support impersonators or chaperones to facilitate contracts. Declaring
a structure type as @tech{authentic} can also slightly improve the
performance of structure predicates, selectors, and mutators, which
can be appropriate for data structures that are private
and frequently used within a library.

Like @racket[impersonate-hash], but with constraints on the given functions
and support for immutable hashes. The @racket[ref-proc] procedure must
return a found value or a chaperone of the value. The
@racket[set-proc] procedure must produce two values: the key that it

          (and/c struct-type? chaperone?)]{

Returns a chaperoned value like @racket[struct-type], but with
@racket[struct-type-info] and @racket[struct-type-make-constructor]
operations on the chaperoned structure type redirected. In addition,
when a new structure type is created as a subtype of the chaperoned
structure type, @racket[guard-proc] is interposed as an extra guard on
creation of instances of the subtype.

The @racket[struct-info-proc] must accept 8 arguments---the result of
@racket[struct-type-info] on @racket[struct-type]. It must return 8
values, where each is the same or a chaperone of the corresponding
argument. The 8 values are used as the results of
@racket[struct-type-info] for the chaperoned structure type.

The @racket[make-constructor-proc] must accept a single procedure
argument, which is a constructor produced by
@racket[struct-type-make-constructor] on @racket[struct-type]. It must
return the same or a chaperone of the procedure, which is used as the
result of @racket[struct-type-make-constructor] on the chaperoned
structure type.

The @racket[guard-proc] is like a @racket[guard] argument to
@racket[make-struct-type]: it must accept one more argument 
than a constructor for @racket[struct-type], where the last argument
is the name the name of the instantiated structure type.
It must return the number of values needed by the constructor
(i.e. one value for each argument but the last),
and each returned value must be the same as
or a chaperone of the corresponding argument. 
The @racket[guard-proc] is added as a constructor guard when a subtype is
created of the chaperoned structure type.

Pairs of @racket[prop] and @racket[prop-val] (the number of arguments
to @racket[chaperone-struct-type] must be even) add impersonator properties
or override impersonator-property values of @racket[struct-type].}

                        [prop-val any/c] ... ...)
          (and/c evt? chaperone?)]{

Returns a chaperoned value like @racket[evt], but with @racket[proc]
as an event generator when the result is synchronized with functions
like @racket[sync].

The @racket[proc] generator is called on synchronization, much like
the procedure passed to @racket[guard-evt], except that @racket[proc]
is given @racket[evt]. The @racket[proc] must return two values: a
@tech{synchronizable event} that is a chaperone of @racket[evt], and a
procedure that is used to check the event's result if it is chosen in
a selection. The latter procedure accepts the result of @racket[evt],
and it must return a chaperone of that value.

Pairs of @racket[prop] and @racket[prop-val] (the number of arguments
to @racket[chaperone-evt] must be even) add impersonator properties
or override impersonator-property values of @racket[evt].

The result is @racket[chaperone-of?] the argument @racket[evt].
However, if @racket[evt] is a @tech{thread}, @tech{semaphore},
@tech{input port}, @tech{output port}, or @tech{will executor}, the
result is not recognized as such. For example, @racket[thread?]
applied to the result of @racket[chaperone-evt] will always produce
@racket[#f].}

          (and/c channel? chaperone?)]{

Like @racket[impersonate-channel], but with restrictions on the
@racket[get-proc] and @racket[put-proc] procedures.

The @racket[get-proc] must return two values: a @tech{channel}
that is a chaperone of @racket[channel], and a procedure that
is used to check the channel's contents. The latter procedure
must return the original value or a chaperone of that value.

The @racket[put-proc] must produce a replacement value that is
either the original value communicated on the channel or a
chaperone of that value.

Pairs of @racket[prop] and @racket[prop-val] (the number of arguments
to @racket[chaperone-channel] must be odd) add impersonator properties
or override impersonator-property values of @racket[channel].}
