Returning no value 8 27 (4/30/2008 6:27:00 PM) comp.lang.lisp How do I have a function return no value (not even nil). I am collecting elements using a loop. In the body, there is an if statement, that returns a specific value in some instances and returns nil otherwise. ... dstein64

Scope Question #2 7 43 (4/29/2008 10:14:21 PM) comp.lang.lisp Wow, I should really learn more about the scoping rules in Lisp. Any suggested readings? Anyhow, here's my current scope question: Suppose I have a recursive function that is searching for elements in a tree.... dstein64

Threads and Comments 27 31 (4/13/2008 3:01:15 AM) comp.lang.lisp I apologize for another misleading subject, as I actually have 2 distinct questions, one pertaining to threads and the other to comments. In the future, I will make two separate posts. First, is there any way ... dstein64

Two Lisp Questions 14 28 (4/12/2008 3:50:35 AM) comp.lang.lisp Sorry for the vague subject title, but I could not think of anything better. Anyhow, is there any Lisp function that returns the name of the computer that it is executed on. I have a function that uses sockets ... dstein64

Two Questions about Functions 3 24 (4/9/2008 2:05:02 AM) comp.lang.lisp First, is if I have a string that names a function, is there any way to funcall a string, or convert a string into a function object? Second, (max 2 3 4 2 2) would return 4. If I had (2 3 4 2 2) as a list, I wo... dstein64

How to lookup 5 32 (4/7/2008 6:47:46 PM) comp.lang.lisp I am trying to lookup what the #. in #.*standard-output* stands for. Unfortunately, Google ignores some of the characters in my search. What does #. do in common lisp. It came up on a threads tutorial I am read... dstein64

Threads #4 10 51 (4/7/2008 5:33:42 PM) comp.lang.lisp I am unfamiliar with threads but I believe that I will need to use them in a program I am writing. I am using SBCL and the program will also have to work with Allegro. Is there any suggested way of using thread... dstein64

LISA 14 36 (3/8/2008 7:02:48 PM) comp.lang.lisp Hello. I am just beginning to use Common LISP. I must use LISA for a programming assignment. I am unfamiliar with CLOS and I do not know much about Common Lisp yet. However, I am using SBCL. I created a symboli... DStein64 (39)

Packages and ASDF 15 29 (3/24/2008 6:50:40 PM) comp.lang.lisp I am still new to lisp and I am having a hard time figuring out how the ASDF and package system works. For example, how come clc is not listed in *modules* but I am able to access its symbols nonetheless (Like ... DStein64 (39)

Converting input stream 6 30 (3/29/2008 1:26:33 AM) comp.lang.lisp I am trying to read from a file input stream. The file is of type .txt and was produced in Windows. Each read-line looks some thing like: "example^M" That is, every line ends with ^M. I believe this is because... DStein64 (39)

Linefeed character in SBCL 3 28 (3/30/2008 3:06:50 PM) comp.lang.lisp I tried searching the SBCL manual but couldn't find anything. It seems that the #\Linefeed character is synonymous with the #\Newline character in SBCL. I feel this way because (write-char #\Linefeed stream) re... DStein64 (39)

Parens Matching 10 28 (3/30/2008 3:51:18 PM) comp.lang.lisp I am still new to emacs and Common Lisp, so this may be a trivial question. When I am working in SLIME, I typically have 2 buffers, one for the REPL, and one for editing code. When a function is small, and I cl... DStein64 (39)

Aborting Lisp evaluation 3 46 (4/3/2008 3:10:33 AM) comp.lang.lisp I apologize for asking such a trivial question, but I was unable to find an answer. Using SLIME, what key combination cancels the evaluation of a Lisp expression? Suppose the evaluation somehow got stuck in an ... DStein64 (39)
