<P><B>Arguments and Values:</B><P>
<P>
<I>place</I>---a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_p.htm#place"><I>place</I></A>. <P>
<I>newvalue</I>---a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_f.htm#form"><I>form</I></A>. <P>
<I>results</I>---the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_m.htm#multiple_values"><I>multiple values</I></A>[2] returned by the storing form for the last <I>place</I>, or <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="a_nil.htm#nil"><B>nil</B></A> if there are no <I>pairs</I>. <P>
<P><B>Description:</B><P>
<P>
<A REL=DEFINITION HREF="#setf"><B>setf</B></A> changes the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_v.htm#value"><I>value</I></A> of <I>place</I> to be <I>newvalue</I>. <P>
<TT>(setf place newvalue)</TT> expands into an update form that stores the result of evaluating <I>newvalue</I> into the location referred to by <I>place</I>. Some <I>place</I> forms involve uses of accessors that take optional arguments. Whether those optional arguments are permitted by <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="#setf"><B>setf</B></A>, or what their use is, is up to the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="#setf"><B>setf</B></A> expander function and is not under the control of <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="#setf"><B>setf</B></A>. The documentation for any <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_f.htm#function"><I>function</I></A> that accepts <TT>&amp;optional</TT>, <TT>&amp;rest</TT>, or <TT> ..... key</TT> arguments and that claims to be usable with <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="#setf"><B>setf</B></A> must specify how those arguments are treated. <P>
If more than one <I>pair</I> is supplied, the <I>pairs</I> are processed sequentially; that is, <P>
<PRE>
(setf place-1 newvalue-1
place-2 newvalue-2
...
place-N newvalue-N)
</PRE>
</TT> is precisely equivalent to <P>
<PRE>
(progn (setf place-1 newvalue-1)
(setf place-2 newvalue-2)
...
(setf place-N newvalue-N))
</PRE>
</TT> For <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="#psetf"><B>psetf</B></A>, if more than one <I>pair</I> is supplied then the assignments of new values to places are done in parallel. More precisely, all <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#subform"><I>subforms</I></A> (in both the <I>place</I> and <I>newvalue</I> <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_f.htm#form"><I>forms</I></A>) that are to be evaluated are evaluated from left to right; after all evaluations have been performed, all of the assignments are performed in an unpredictable order. <P>
For detailed treatment of the expansion of <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="#setf"><B>setf</B></A> and <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="#psetf"><B>psetf</B></A>, see <A REL=CHILD HREF="05_ab.htm">Section 5.1.2 (Kinds of Places)</A>. <P>

(setq x (cons 'a 'b) y (list 1 2 3)) =&gt; (1 2 3)
(setf (car x) 'x (cadr y) (car x) (cdr x) y) =&gt; (1 X 3)
x =&gt; (X 1 X 3)
y =&gt; (1 X 3)
