| lukego | ah ok. methinks I was just not suitably motivated I'd susbtitute in _Understanding the Linux Kernel_ |
| beach | from L&L, I learned that people who complain about Lisp needing an indirection to call a function whereas C doesn't, don't know what they are talking about. :) |
| beslyrus | yeah, try single-stepping through the ldso stuff to see what happens when lisp calls a function |
| beach | heh, no thanks! |
| lukego | Architecture of Concurrent Programming (Brinch Hansen) for would be on my list for "software engineering", but I don't know what else off hand. so little reading these days |
| beach | lukego: I recognize the problem. |
| neilv | anyone have the cl-ppcre docs in texinfo/info format? i can't find any such thing with google |
| sohail | hey do functions and classes share the same namespace? because I want to defun a function that does make-instance of a class, but it has the same name as the class |
| rme | what happens if you (defclass car ...)? |
| sohail | it hurts me thats too bad.. I wonder if the restriction is necessary |
| luis | rme: that was a bad example sohail: the answer is no, they don't share the same namespace. |
| sohail | oh lol |
| rme | :P |
| sohail | though sbcl warns me "style warning" but I can live with that, and no more newlines |
| beach | sohail: what was the name you used? |
| sohail | beach, tick |
| beach | hmm, what was the style warning? |
| sohail | STYLE-WARNING: redefining TICK in DEFUN |
| rme | sorry sohail. that was sort of rude of me. |
| beach | sohail: that was probably just a redefinition of the function. |
| sohail | beach, oh, you're probably right phew. I was thinking lisp wasn't perfect for a second there </bad_joke> |
| beach | what do you mean "joke" :) |
| sohail | lol |
| beslyrus | alright, where is time-t defined? ah, output/stuff-groveled-from-headers.lisp of course |
| unlord | there must be a better way to do (cons (fn a b) (cons (fn c d) '())) |
| neilv | strange. looks like cl-ppcre ":register" syntax accepts more than one term without error, but ignores all but the first |
| sohail | unlord, one of the map functions? |
| neilv | > (cl-ppcre::scan '(:register "a" "b") "ab") |
