globalq

Arguments: symbol

Because (system:global-symbol-value 'xxx) is such a common place for shared data operations, we've introduced a macro to make the source a little easier to read and write. (globalq x) is a macro form that expands to (system:global-symbol-value 'x) for any symbol x.

See smp.htm and multiprocessing.htm for more information on this macro and on multiprocessing.
