by Anton Vodonosov 18 Jan '18

Hello. Alexandria in the latest quicklisp has a regression comparing to quicklisp 2012-02-08. It doesn't build on ECL because on non-standard LOOP construct (it is tolerated by most Lisps, but not by ECL; see here: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.ecl.general/3344) The compiler complains about copy-stream method in io.lisp. Build logs: https://cl-test-grid.appspot.com/blob?key=AMIfv97xRRWJgLOa5TvS78VriRK9mQ82m… Best regards, - Anton

[Alexandria-devel] add COPY-STREAM-CONTENT-INTO-{STRING, BYTE-VECTOR}?
by Jan Moringen 14 Aug '17

Hi, in my experience, READ-FILE-INTO-{STRING,BYTE-VECTOR} are very handy. However, maybe half of the time I already receive an open stream and need something like R-F-I-{S,B-V} but for streams. I already submitted the attached patch in mid 2012. Nikodemus didn't want to introduce new functions at that time. Please consider it again. The patch adds the functions COPY-STREAM-CONTENT-INTO-{STRING,BYTE-VECTOR} which implement this feature. Despite the new toplevel functions, little new code is introduced since R-F-I-{S,B-V} can be implemented in terms of the new functions. Thanks in advance and kind regards, Jan

Hello, Following the discussion in the following mailing list threads: [0] and [1], as well as the conclusion reached in this [2] email, I've attached a patch which adds PARTIAL-APPLY and REVERSE-PARTIAL-APPLY function as aliases/synonyms for CURRY and RCURRY function, respectively. In addition, the patch also adds tests for the 2 new functions. I've tested the new functions and ran the test suite, and have found no issue so far. I hope that this patch will be useful. If I have made any mistakes, please don't hesitate to point them out to me.
