I just want to ask about future politics: will newLISP in the future have an operator like *nix iconv You can use iconv in Windows too. A lot of Unix-like applications for Windows comes with iconv library today: in my system there are... let me count... six instances of iconv.dll (yes, this IS the ...

In the brave Unix world, anything with an 'x' bit set is an executable, and the interpreter is determined by #! notation. In Windows, you need a real .exe file sometimes. One particular case is Windows screensavers, which in fact are .exe files with .scr extensions. BTW, screensavers are not only to...

Thanks, Lutz! But I have already noted an undocumented change: (string cons) returns "cons<408D7A>" in 10.1.7 but "cons <408D7A>" (note space!) in previous versions. And yes, I use ((parse (string function)) 0) in my debug code. Of course I can fix it to work in both new and old versions, or even le...

newLISP (10.1.5 and 10.1.6 checked) failed to parse an HTTP answer if it contains 8-bit characters in headers. Well, according to RFC, there should be no 8-bit character in headers, but in real live there are. In particular, I cannot avoid them in my application (the server returning them is not und...

Maybe because ? is special for match and @ for xml-parse? The implementation of these two functions probably need an "prototype" symbols to compare with.

When long enough removing parentheses from lisp you will endup killing lisp. ...parenthese per parenthese... Hm... Then my favorite lisp-killing device is: ; This is in fact im my small library of handy tools (define-macro (make-pass) (doargs (arg) (letex ((Old arg) (New (sym (append (string arg) "...

In brief: vimrc is system-wide, .vimrc is your personal. If you haven't yet, just create it in your home directory. In full: vim starting is a very complex process, with lot of nice features if only you are ready to learn them all. Read :help starting , but prepare to be really bored. P.S. Vim allow...

I assume that you have highlighting already enabled for other languages (if not, read :help usr_06 before). Then copy newlisp.vim file into syntax directory, located in some directory listed in runtimepath . Depending on your access rights and intentions, this can be system-wide or your personal set...

Is using apply for state keeping elegant enough?

Code: Select all

(define (df datum) (abs (- target (datum 0))))
(define (choose x y) (if (< (df x) (df y)) x y))
(println (apply choose data 2))

Maybe I am reinventing the wheel, but this pattern seems useful for me: newLISP v.10.1.0 on Win32 IPv4, execute 'newlisp -h' for more info. > (define (Struct:Struct) (apply context (cons (context) (args)))) (lambda () (apply context (cons (context) (args)))) > (new Struct 't) t > (map t '(year month...

I've updated the newlisp.vim syntax highlighting file. In this version: * new built-in functions introduced recently into newlisp: last-error , xfer-event and inf? (the version shipped with newlisp already has these); * module function (technically, not built-in but preloaded, but worth highlighting...

No luck! ;-)

Minor update of newlisp.vim syntax highlighting file. In this version: * Adopded changes made by Lutz in 10.0.2 ( estack and read-utf8 ). BTW, Lutz, integer is still defined as alias of int ! Do you intent to remove it, or to keep it forever? * Another attempt to became more compatible with some 3rd...

Reading new Jeff's introduction to FFI, I have noted that in the documentation of import function in the newLISP manual there are examples of importing printf from the standard C library for Linux, MacOS and Cygwin, but not for standard Win32 distribution. I have noted many times before that amateur...

I came across this listing of a word count program implemented in various languages (see README.txt for more info). As you can probably guess, there was no newLISP version! That's fine! I have the similar listing of my own long ago, you can find it here . And, of course, I do have newLISP! ;-) I ha...

Another step toward newlisp v10.0. No major changes this time, only an update of built-in functions list. In particular: * integer is moved to "obsolete" section. It was removed from documentation long ago, and Lutz said it will be discarded completely in 9.9.96 release. * new section "debugging" is...

ps: final 10.0 release probably next week Preparing my newlisp.vim to 10.0 release, I've found a bunch of predefined functions which status is unclear for me. I am confused which is the preferred way to highlight them. The functions in question are: * integer -- shares the code with int , removed f...

Yes, I see now, it is exactly three bytes shorter! ;-) I've missed this, because I've downloaded windows binary, not source. Now I have both.

ps: final 10.0 release probably next week Lutz, I have reported this bug already, it is minor but annoying: the utility link.lsp , used to linking newlisp script with win32 executable, does NOT work with latest releases: it passes a quoted symbol as a parameter to write-buffer . ;; this field gets ...

Cyril

From 10.0 release notes:

write-buffer a never-used odd symbol syntax for the string to be written has been eliminated.

link.lsp utility does use this odd syntax! Works fine after eliminating apostrophes in all three calls to write-buffer.

System variables $0 - $15, $args, $idx, $it and $main-args are now documented in the appendix for the "Users Manual and Reference". I believe it is worth to put a line "See also: ostype " in this appendix. Some people (like myself) search for it in the variables list (I consider it as a kind of sys...
