n. an object which names an activecatch.
(If more than one catch is active with the same catch tag,
it is only possible to throw to the innermost such catch
because the outer one is shadowed2.)
[ 'kü'dEr ], n.
1. a. (of a cons)
the component of a cons corresponding to the second argument
to cons; the other component is the car.
The function rplacd modifies the cdr of a cons.
b. (of a listL1)
either the listL2 that contains
the elements of L1 that follow after the first,
or else nil if L1 is the empty list.
2. the object that is held in the cdr1.
The function cdr returns the cdr of a cons.
v.t. (a stream)
to terminate usage of the stream as a source or sink of data,
permitting the implementation to reclaim its internal data structures,
and to free any external resources which might have been locked by the
stream when it was opened.
v.t.
1. (code)
to perform semantic preprocessing of the code, usually optimizing
one or more qualities of the code, such as run-time speed of execution
or run-time storage usage. The minimum semantic requirements of compilation are
that it must remove all macro calls and arrange for all load time values
to be resolved prior to run time.
2. (a function)
to produce a new object of typecompiled-function
which represents the result of compiling the code
represented by the function. See the functioncompile.
3. (a source file)
to produce a compiled file from a source file.
See the functioncompile-file.
n. a program, used to emphasize the fact that the program
depends for its correctness only upon documented aspects of Common Lisp, and
can therefore be expected to run correctly in any conforming implementation.
n. an object that is constrained (e.g., by its context in a program
or by the source from which it was obtained) to be immutable.
A literal object that has been processed by compile-file
is a constant object.
