beowulf.cons-cell

The fundamental cons cell on which all Lisp structures are built. Lisp 1.5 lists do not necessarily have a sequence as their CDR, and must have both CAR and CDR mutable, so cannot be implemented on top of Clojure lists.

CAR

(CAR x)

Return the item indicated by the first pointer of a pair. NIL is treated specially: the CAR of NIL is NIL.

CDR

(CDR x)

Return the item indicated by the second pointer of a pair. NIL is treated specially: the CDR of NIL is NIL.

CONS

(CONS car cdr)

Construct a new instance of cons cell with this car and cdr.

cons-cell?

(cons-cell? o)

Is this object o a beowulf cons-cell?

F

The canonical false value - different from NIL, which is not canonically false in Lisp 1.5.

LIST

(LIST & args)

TODO: write docs

make-beowulf-list

(make-beowulf-list x)

Construct a linked list of cons cells with the same content as the sequence x.

make-cons-cell

(make-cons-cell car cdr)

Construct a new instance of cons cell with this car and cdr.

MutableSequence

protocol

Like a sequence, but mutable.

members

getCar

(getCar this)

Return the first element of this sequence.

getCdr

(getCdr this)

like more, q.v., but returns List NIL not Clojure nil when empty.

getUid

(getUid this)

Returns a unique identifier for this object

rplaca

(rplaca this value)

replace the first element of this sequence with this value

rplacd

(rplacd this value)

replace the rest (but-first; cdr) of this sequence with this value

pretty-print

(pretty-print cell)(pretty-print cell width level)

This isn’t the world’s best pretty printer but it sort of works.

T

The canonical true value.
