Long Description

# Cl-Reexport

Cl-reexport makes a package reexport symbols which are external symbols in other packages. This fanctionality is intended to be used with (virtual) hierarchical packages. For detail, see Usage section.

## Usage

Think about a (virutal) hierarchical package structure. Since Common Lisp standard has just a flat package system, the three packages are naturally at the same level, but you can regard the packages constituting a hierarchy virtually.

FOO-package
- FOO-PACKAGE.BAR
- FOO-PACKAGE.BAZ

Here, their definitions are:

(in-package :cl-user)

(defpackage foo-package.bar
(:use :cl)
(:export :x))

(defpackage foo-package.baz
(:use :cl)
(:export :y))

(defpackage foo-package
(:use :cl))

If you want reexport external symbols in FOO-PACKAGE.BAR and FOO-PACKAGE.BAZ from FOO-PACKAGE, you may just write as below:

(in-package :foo-package)
(cl-reexport:reexport-from :foo-package.bar)
(cl-reexport:reexport-from :foo-package.baz)

(in-package :cl-user)

(describe ’x)
>> FOO-PACKAGE.BAR:X
>> [symbol]

(describe ’y)
>> FOO-PACKAGE.BAZ:Y
>> [symbol]

### :INCLUDE and :EXCLUDE options

You can also reexport the only symbols you specify or the symbols other than you specify using :INCLUDE option or :EXCLUDE option. Since they are exclusive, you can not use :INCLUDE option and :EXCLUDE option at the same time.

(in-package :cl-user)

(defpackage bar-package.a
(:use :cl)
(:export :x :y :z))

(defpackage bar-package.b
(:use :cl)
(:export :p :q :r))

(defpackage bar-package
(:use :cl))

(in-package :bar-package)

(cl-reexport:reexport-from :bar-package.a
:include ’(:x))

(cl-reexport:reexport-from :bar-package.b
:include ’(:p))

(in-package :cl-user)

(do-external-symbols (x :bar-package)
(print x))
>> BAR-PACKAGE.A:X
>> BAR-PACKAGE.B:Q
>> BAR-PACKAGE.B:R

## Installation

You can install ‘cl-reexport‘ via Quicklisp:

(ql:quicklisp :cl-reexport)

## Difference from ASDF 3’s one-package-per-file fanctionality

ASDF 3 has one-package-per-file fanctionality and its runtime support. The structural difference between (virtual) hierarchical packages and ASDF 3’s one-package-per-file fanctionality is:

* (Virtual) hierarchical packages have one system definition and several packages constitute a hierarchical structure.
* ASDF 3’s one-package-per-file style has hierarchical system definitions and hierarchical packages, whcih are corresponding each other.

When you use former style, you can use cl-reexport.
