5.2 Internals


5.2.1 Special variables

Special Variable: *example-enabled*

Parameter for enabling/disabling
the ‘EXAMPLE‘ macro. Use NIL in production code.

Package

defvariant.

Source

defvariant.lisp.


5.2.2 Macros

Macro: example (expr arrow expected &key eq? warn-only)

Show an evaluation example, useful for documentation and lightweight testing.

(example ‘EXPR‘ => ‘EXPECTED‘) evaluates ‘EXPR‘ and compare, wrt. ‘EQ?‘ (EQUAL by default) to ‘EXPECTED‘ and raise an error if inequal.

Set ‘WARN-ONLY‘ to T for warning instead of error.
