[alexandria-devel] Review cycle 2: SWITCH, ESCWITCH, and CSWITCH
by Nikodemus Siivola 08 Apr '10

08 Apr '10

macro switch ((object &key test key) &body clauses) "Evaluates first matching clause, returning its values, or evaluates and returns the values of DEFAULT if no keys match." macro eswitch ((object &key test key) &body clauses) "Like SWITCH, but signals an error if no key matches." cswitch ((object &key test key) &body clauses) "Like SWITCH, but signals a continuable error if no key matches."

[alexandria-devel] darcs patch: Add #.#+ readtime conditional functions.
by asf＠boinkor.net 02 Oct '09

02 Oct '09

Mon Oct 16 10:00:31 CEST 2006 asf(a)boinkor.net * Add #.#+ readtime conditional functions. * This adds functions that can be used in #+#. readtime conditionals, for example: #+#.(alexandria:read-if (find-package :asdf-install)) :yay #+#.(alexandria:read-if-fbound :install :asdf-install :exportedp t) :yay * included in the patch is a commented-out portion that allows the user to activate a #? read syntax. I'm not sure if that fits into the conservativism constraints.

by Attila Lendvai 09 Dec '08

dear list, i've got this patch pending: (defmacro ensure-functionf (&rest places) "Call ENSURE-FUNCTION for each place in PLACES and store back the results." `(progn ,@(mapcar (lambda (place) `(setf ,place (ensure-function ,place))) places))) it might be controversial, so i'll first send it here. if noone complains for a week or two, then i'll push it eventually. -- attila

[alexandria-devel] COPY-FILE conflict.
by Samium Gromoff 26 Nov '08

26 Nov '08

Good day Edi and alexandria-devel, it appears that since June Alexandria exports COPY-FILE, as well as a bunch of other file-related primitives. Is the resulting loss of simultaneous :use-ability of cl-fad and alexandria being regarded as something undesirable by the project maintainers? regards, Samium Gromoff

[alexandria-devel] Alexandria/SBCL buglet
by Daniel Herring 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

There's a subtle bug in the 'include' target in alexandria/doc/Makefile. include: sbcl --eval '(progn (require :asdf) (require :alexandria) (rename-package :alexandria :alexandria))' \ --eval '(load (merge-pathnames "doc/manual/docstrings" (posix-getenv "SBCL_SOURCE_ROOT")))' \ --eval '(sb-texinfo:generate-includes "include/" :alexandria)' \ --eval '(quit)' mv include/fun-alexandria-type=.texinfo include/fun-alexandria-type-equal.texinfo When the SBCL manual is built, it creates a directory named "docstrings"; so you now have both doc/manual/docstrings and doc/manual/docstrings.lisp Thus (load (merge-pathnames "doc/manual/docstrings" ...) fails with a debugger invoked on a SB-INT:SIMPLE-STREAM-ERROR in thread #<THREAD "initial thread" RUNNING {100274FC21}>: couldn't read from #<SB-SYS:FD-STREAM for "file /path/to/sbcl/doc/manual/docstrings" {1002871401}>: Is a directory [SBCL 1.0.22.7 on x86-64 linux] - Daniel P.S. Since "clean:" is the first target in this Makefile, it runs by default when you simply type `make`. That surprised me; I expected the first rule to be something like all: pdf html or all: echo "Try 'make clean', 'make pdf', or 'make html'."
