utility Manual

Description

A collection of useful macros and functions I use in almost every project.

Installing utility

We can use QuickLisp to load utility:

(ql:quickload:utility)

Some Things inside

• [macro] (DOHASH ((K V) HASH &body BODY))

  • Iterate through the contents of a hash table.

• [macro] (ETOUQ (&body BODY))

  • Expand into the macro-time evaluation of BODY.

(etouq(list(car(cons'car0))`(quote,(cdr(list012)))))=> 
1

• [macro] (DOBOX ((&rest INTERVAL-FORMS) &rest BODY))

  • Iterate through all coordinates bounded by the dimensions specified in INTERVAL-FORMS.

Example:

(dobox((x02)(y03))(print(list x y)))=> 
(00)(01)(02)(10)(11)(12)

• [function] (KEYWORDIFY (SYM))

  • Intern SYM in the keyword package. SYM is a string designator.

• [macro] (ANY (&body BODY))

  • Expand into a random element of body. Most useful to denote code invariants.

• [function] (FLOATIFY (X))

  • Coerce X to type 'SINGLE-FLOAT
