Definitions are sorted by export status, category, package, and then by lexicographic order.


5.1 Public Interface


5.1.1 Special variables

Special Variable: *enable-symbol-readmacro*

Enables processing of symbol-readmacro.

Package

advanced-readtable.

Source

readtable.lisp.

Special Variable: *extra-finders*

Hash symbol -> alist (key . symbol-handler)
Used for PUSH-LOCAL-PACKAGE. It will be searched before CL:FIND-SYMBOL. Will be checked inside list, where car of list eq SYMBOL.

Package

advanced-readtable.

Source

finders.lisp.

Special Variable: *package-finders*

Alist (equal key . package-handler). Contains global handlers for FIND-PACKAGE.

Package

advanced-readtable.

Source

finders.lisp.

Special Variable: *symbol-finders*

Alist (equal key . symbol-handler). Contains global handlers for FIND-SYMBOL.

Package

advanced-readtable.

Source

finders.lisp.


5.1.2 Macros

Macro: defpackage (package &rest options)
Package

advanced-readtable.

Source

hierarchy.lisp.

Macro: in-package (designator)
Package

advanced-readtable.

Source

hierarchy.lisp.

Macro: set-handler (handler-list key function)

This is middle-level public API for changing handlers for
find-symbol and find-package. There are five lists:
*package-finders* – global for find-package
*symbol-finders* – global for find-symbol
(package-finders package) – per-package for find-package (symbol-finders package) – per-package for find-symbol
(extra-finders symbol) – per-symbol for (symbol ....) package substitution

Key should be uniq in the sense of EQUAL in the list. SET-HANDLER adds new handler if it is not already there.

Package

advanced-readtable.

Source

finders.lisp.


5.1.3 Ordinary functions

Function: ! ()
Package

advanced-readtable.

Source

readtable.lisp.

Function: !! ()
Package

advanced-readtable.

Source

hierarchy.lisp.

Function: activate ()
Package

advanced-readtable.

Source

readtable.lisp.

Function: activate-cl-substitutes ()
Package

advanced-readtable.

Source

hierarchy.lisp.

Function: find-package (name &optional current-package)

We try to find package.
1. By full name with CL:FIND-PACKAGE.
2. By per-package handlers. Here we wil try local-nicknames and so on. 3. By global handlers. Here we may use, for example, hierarchical packages.

Package

advanced-readtable.

Source

finders.lisp.

Function: find-symbol (name &optional dpackage)

We try to find symbol
1. In package set with car of list, for example, PUSH-LOCAL-PACKAGE 2. By CL:FIND-SYMBOL, when package explicitly given
3. By packages added with package:(...)
4. By per-package finders
5. By global finders
6. By CL:FIND-SYMBOL

Package

advanced-readtable.

Source

finders.lisp.

Function: get-macro-symbol (symbol)

Syntax is like get-macro-character. Returns function, assigned by set-macro-symbol

Package

advanced-readtable.

Source

finders.lisp.

Function: package-finders (&optional package)

Returns alist (key . package-handler) for package

Package

advanced-readtable.

Source

finders.lisp.

Function: (setf package-finders) (&optional package)

Sets alist (key . package-handler) for package

Package

advanced-readtable.

Source

finders.lisp.

Function: push-import-prefix (prefix &optional package)

Enables using package name omitting prefix.
For example, you have packages com.clearly-useful.iterator-protocol, com.clearly-useful.reducers, ... You may use them as
(push-import-prefix :com.clearly-useful)
(iterator-protocol:do-iterator ...)
(reducers:r/map #’1+ data)
and so on.
Package prefix is enabled per package so it is safe to use it in your package.

If there is package, which name coincides with shortcut, package name has priority.

So, if you make
(defpackage :reducers ...)

after that reducers:... will refer to new package, not com.clearly-useful.reducers.

Package

advanced-readtable.

Source

api.lisp.

Function: push-local-nickname (long-package nick &optional current-package)

Enables package nickname in CURRENT-PACKAGE.
For example, you found COM.INFORMATIMAGO.COMMON-LISP.CESARUM.LIST package and want to use it. But don’t want to USE-PACKAGE them, because some exported symbols from it are clashing with yours.

You may do it right:
(push-local-nickname :com.informatimago.common-lisp.cesarum.list :ilist) (ilist:circular-length l)

Local-nicknames are local, so you may use it freely.

If package A wants package LIB version 1, and package B wants package
LIB version 2, one can simply rename LIB version 1 to LIB1 and rename LIB
version 2 to LIB2 and make
(push-local-nickname :lib1 :lib :a)
(push-local-nickname :lib2 :lib :b)

If enabled global-nicknames via enable-global-nicknames,
then also created alias in current package.

For example,
(push-local-nickname :lib1 :lib :a), states, that package A.LIB is eq to LIB1.

Package

advanced-readtable.

Source

api.lisp.

Function: push-local-package (symbol local-package)

Sets local-package for a symbol. Many macroses use there own clauses. For example, ITERATE uses FOR, COLLECT and so on.
If you don’t want to USE-PACKAGE iterate, this function will help. (push-local-package ’iter:iter :iterate)
(iter:iter (for i from 1 to 10) (collect i))

Caution: this function enables package substitution in all cases, where SYMBOL is the car of a list.
For example, this will be error:
(let (iter:iter for) (list iter:iter for))
, because first for is in ITERATE package, but second – is not.

Package

advanced-readtable.

Source

api.lisp.

Function: read-token-with-colons (stream char)

Reads token, then analize package part if needed

Package

advanced-readtable.

Source

Function: set-macro-symbol (symbol func)

Syntax is like set-macro-character,
except that FUNC is binded to SYMBOL, not character

Package

Source

finders.lisp.

Function: symbol-finders (&optional package)

Returns alist (key . symbol-handler) for package
