Hi to all...

I have an application that allows novice programmers to create LISP
functions step by 
step and run them on test data -- if there are errors in the code, we
want to flag them for 
the student.  Currently, we have pages and pages of code to check for
syntax errors, etc.  I 
want to use the CL condition system to do part of the work.
So, for example, say I wanted to prevent division-by-zero errors, and
flag the bad 
operand for the student.  Here is the code that i thought would do so:
(defun foo (arg)
  (handler-case (eval arg)
    (division-by-zero (condition) 
      (format t "~A Args are ~A" condition (arithmetic-error-operands
condition)))))

However, this code returns
    ? (foo '(/ 3 0))
    Can't divide by zero. Args are NIL

What am I doing wrong?  How do I access the erroneous operand.

I also am confused about why sometimes the operand is part of the
condition 
message, and other times is not.  For example,
(defun farg (arg)
   (handler-case (eval arg)
      (unbound-variable (condition) (format t "~A" condition))))
returns
      ? (farg '(+ a 1))
     Unbound variable: A

Can anyone explain why the argument is sometimes present by default and
sometimes 
not and how to access the arg if it is not put in the message
automatically?  (BTW -- I use 
MCL 2.0)
Thanks,

I was under the impression this was fixed in CLtL2 (see page 210-211)
so that one could say:

(defmacro my-macro (arg1 &environment env)
   (let* ((opt-state (declaration-information 'optimize env))
          (compilation-speed (second (assoc 'compilation-speed opt-state))))
      ...))

Allegro 4.1 doesn't have cl:declaration-information, but I assume
that's just because it's a new addition.

I too tried to satisfy Jon's request by going to CIS.  The archive there
is in "arc" format.  Stuffit Deluxe has a tool for extracting it.
Unfortunately it is corrupted there as well.  The main file goes ok for
2 pages or so and then turns into a string of control characters.

I'll report it to the keepers of the CIS archive and if I get a reply
I'll try again.

To answer this, we need to see the definition of the FOO package.  If it
:USEs the LISP package, then it is inheriting the standard LET symbol,
which is already defined as a special form.

first of all, thanks to all those who were kind enough to respond to
my edge-list question earlier...

Another question on the same vein... How can I extend this array to
become an array of linked lists?  i.e.
+--+
| -----> edge 1 ---> edge 2 ...
+--+
| -----> edge 2.1 ---> edge 2.2 ...
+--+

Etc..  This would be an array of structure pointers in C, using malloc
to allocate space for each in a singly linked list from each array element.

Is this similar to a lisp vector?  (BTW, can't seem to find Steele's book
*GASP* anywhere around...  I assume it covers this sort of thing... I'll
grab it when I can find it!)

    Thanks again..

Not yet.  The Common Lisp standard, X3.226-199X, is currently in draft
proposal stage, undergoing public review.

The official announcement of the public review, and guidelines that we've

DECLARATION-INFORMATION and all the related environment access operations
were later dropped by X3J13, and they're not in dpANS CL.  There were some
bugs in the design of this stuff; we decided that we had designed this
feature too late in the game and they weren't important enough to delay
finishing the draft while we debugged them.

Please encourage your vendors to adopt something like them, though.
Without experience with them, we'll never learn how they should be used and
designed.

From the FAQ:

   Allegro Common Windows provides a front end to CLX. Uses CLOS.
   It is *not* free. Contact info@franz.com for more information.

The fact that it is sold by Franz suggests that it might only run in
Allegro CL, but I don't know for sure.

I did this a while ago but it wasn't too hard. The whole thing occupies
about 30M on my disk. It works well; I even add a lot of interface
routines to my C libraries [financial stuff] thru the incremental loader
and also thru adding it to the original binary. I remember the whole
thing taking an entire weekend. But its definitely doable since I have it
running on my 5000/240. Now porting to the Alpha -- that's going to be
bit of a problem but I am giving it a try.

   Hi.  I'm using Allegro CL on a Sparc 1.1 and am getting strange behavior in
   some code regarding package redefinition.  At least, it's strange compared to 
   what I would expect.  Specifically, it doesn't seem to have an effect when I
   try to redefine a package.  The package itself is a problem because it doesn't
   seem to "see" many common symbols from CLOS, including defclass and others, 
   even though it uses CL-USER.

In Allegro CL 4.1, DEFCLASS is an external symbol of the COMMON-LISP package, 
as are the other clos-related symbols specified as part of the proposed ANSI 
standard Common Lisp.  Symbols which are part of the MOP, but not part of the
proposed ANSI standard Common Lisp are, in Allegro CL 4.1, external
symbols in the CLOS package.

The dpANSI spec says: If DEFPACKAGE or MAKE-PACKAGE is evaluated with
no specification of a :USE argument, then an implementation default
list is used, and that includes the COMMON-LISP package.  If you
specify any explicit :USE argument, even NIL, then the default is
overridden and the package uses _only_ and _exactly_ the packages you
name.  Package inheritance is not transitive.  Although CL-USER uses
COMMON-LISP, packages that use CL-USER do not automatically do so.

Consequently, you should either use the default use list of DEFPACKAGE
or include the COMMON-LISP package in your package's use list.

If you want to be able to refer to symbols associated with the MOP without
using package qualifiers, put the CLOS package in the use list as well.

Reduce in Steele-1 doesn't allow :key. in Steele-2 it does. but that

(apply #'max (mapcar #'length list)) is a marginal substitute, since
REDUCE should work on Any Sequence.

SATISFIES is part of the type-specifying mechanism. it's not a general

Steele (which is the Lisp bible--if you don't have one, get one. I

I agree, I did a programming project in ML (not a small one: it was a
MIRANDA style type checker for a simple functional language) and
sometimes I got weird type checking errors that were due mainly to
"incorrect" syntax. I ended up parenthesizing pretty much all the code
:-)

Sorry if this is bringing up again a flame. In a recent discussion
appeared in this group, the usual "Lisp is SLOWER than C/C++" flame
raged.

While, as commonsense suggests, languages have their strengths and
weaknesses, I'd like to point out that probably the thing I like most
in Lisp systems is the ability to extend the language and build new
ones via the macro and reader-macros facilities. This is a plus that
no other language I heard of offers (even granting C++, Ada and Prolog
the merit of having redefinable operators).

Sorry for the English errors and the waste of bandwidth.
