1 Introduction


2 Systems

The main system appears first, followed by any subsystem dependency.


2.1 cl-getx

This is a naive, persisted, in memory (lazy loading) data store for Common Lisp.

5.1 Public Interface


5.1.1 Macros

Macro: pick-accessor-expansion (accessor place default-form &rest args)

This is used to choose between a function form or a value form of the place.

default-form can be a function name or "something" more complex.

Package

Macro: pick-setf-accessor-expansion (accessor place value default-form &rest args)
Package

5.1.2 Generic functions

Generic Function: digx (place &rest indicators)

Hierarchical getx. You dont really need to
create specializers based on the type of place because
digx uses getx internally and getx does the type specific work.

Examples:

> (digx (list :eish (list :huh 1)) :eish :huh)
1

> (let ((x (list :eish (list :huh 1))))
(setf (cl-getx:digx x :eish :huh) ’huh)
x)
(:EISH (:HUH HUH))

Package

cl-getx.

Source

digx.lisp.

Methods
Method: digx (place &rest indicators)
Generic Function: (setf digx) (place &rest indicators)
Package

cl-getx.

Source

digx.lisp.

Methods
Method: (setf digx) (place &rest indicators)
Generic Function: getx (place accessor &key default &allow-other-keys)

Returns the data stored in a place by name or named-accessor or concrete accessor function.

Currently places, hash-tables and plists are implemented. Methods for specific types or other lisp types can be implemented easially.

Examples:

> (getx (list :eish 1) :eish)
1

> (getx (list ’eish 1) ’eish)
1

> (getx (list ’eish 1) #’(lambda (place) (getf place ’eish)))
1

(defclass thingy () ((eish :initarg :eish :accessor eish)))
(setf x (make-instance ’thingy ’eish 1))
> (getx x ’eish)
1

**EXTREME**

Or if you really want uniform thinking and syntax for your data places
This is not a good idea if you are writing a library that others will use
some one might clobber your :eish by accident or you might clobber their :eish

(defclass thingy () ((eish :initarg :eish :accessor :eish)))
(setf x (make-instance ’thingy :eish 1))
> (getx x :eish)
1

Package

cl-getx.

Source

getx.lisp.

Methods
Method: getx ((place standard-object) accessor &key &allow-other-keys)
Method: getx ((place hash-table) accessor &key default &allow-other-keys)
Method: getx (place accessor &key &allow-other-keys)
Generic Function: (setf getx) (place accessor &key default &allow-other-keys)

Specialize as you need. plists, hash-tables and standard-object is taken care of.

Package

cl-getx.

Source

getx.lisp.

Methods
Method: (setf getx) ((place standard-object) accessor &key &allow-other-keys)

This is for use with (setf getx) of standard-objects.

Method: (setf getx) ((place hash-table) accessor &key default &allow-other-keys)

This is for use with (setf getx) of gethash.

Method: (setf getx) ((place list) accessor &key &allow-other-keys)

This is for use with (setf getx) of gethash.

Generic Function: place-exists-p (place accessor)

Returns t if the place exists. Default implementation is for plists.

Package

cl-getx.

Source

getx.lisp.

Methods
Method: place-exists-p ((place standard-object) slot-name)

This is a bit of a waste to do since gethash gives you the value and tells you if the key is not found, but its here for completeness.

Method: place-exists-p ((place hash-table) key)

This is a bit of a waste to do since gethash gives you the value and tells you if the key is not found, but its here for completeness.

Method: place-exists-p (place accessor)
