3.8.24 declaration Declaration

Syntax:
(declaration {name}*)

Arguments:
name - a symbol.

Valid Context:

Description:
Advises the compiler that each name is a valid but potentially non-standard declaration name. The purpose of this is to tell one compiler not to issue warnings for declarations meant for another compiler or other program processor.

Examples:
 (declaim (declaration author target-language target-machine))
 (declaim (target-language ada))
 (declaim (target-machine IBM-650))
 (defun strangep (x)
   (declare (author "Harry Tweeker"))
   (member x '(strange weird odd peculiar)))

See Also:
declaim, proclaim

Allegro CL Implementation Details:
