||
<p><strong>lambda combination</strong> <em>n. Trad.</em> a <span><i>lambda form</i></span>.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>lambda expression</strong> <em>n.</em> a <span><i>list</i></span> which can be used in place of a <span><i>function name</i></span> in certain contexts to denote a <span><i>function</i></span> by directly describing its behavior rather than indirectly by referring to the name of an <em>established function</em>; its name derives from the fact that its first element is the <span><i>symbol</i></span> lambda. See <span><b>lambda</b></span>.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>lambda form</strong> <em>n.</em> a <span><i>form</i></span> that is a <span><i>list</i></span> and that has a first element which is a <span><i>lambda expression</i></span> representing a <span><i>function</i></span> to be called on <span><i>arguments</i></span> which are the result of <em>evaluating</em> subsequent elements of the <span><i>lambda form</i></span>.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>lambda list</strong> <em>n.</em> a <span><i>list</i></span> that specifies a set of <span><i>parameters</i></span> (sometimes called <span><i>lambda variables</i></span>) and a protocol for receiving <span><i>values</i></span> for those <span><i>parameters</i></span>; that is, an <span><i>ordinary lambda list</i></span>, an <span><i>extended lambda list</i></span>, or a <span><i>modified lambda list</i></span>.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>lambda list keyword</strong> <em>n.</em> a <span><i>symbol</i></span> whose <span><i>name</i></span> begins with <span><i>ampersand</i></span> and that is specially recognized in a <span><i>lambda list</i></span>. Note that no <em>standardized lambda list keyword</em> is in the KEYWORD <span><i>package</i></span>.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>lambda variable</strong> <em>n.</em> a <span><i>formal parameter</i></span> , used to emphasize the <span><i>variable</i></span>’s relation to the <span><i>lambda list</i></span> that <em>established</em> it.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>leaf</strong> <em>n.</em> 1. an <span><i>atom</i></span> in a <span><i>tree</i></span><sub>1</sub>. 2. a terminal node of a <span><i>tree</i></span><sub>2</sub>.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>leap seconds</strong> <em>n.</em> additional one-second intervals of time that are occasionally inserted into the true calendar by official timekeepers as a correction similar to “leap years.” All Common Lisp <span><i>time</i></span> representations ignore <span><i>leap seconds</i></span>; every day is assumed to be exactly 86400 seconds long.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>left-parenthesis</strong> <em>n.</em> the <span><i>standard character</i></span> “(”, that is variously called “left</p>
|
||
<p>parenthesis” or “open parenthesis” See Figure 2–5.</p>
|
||
<p><span><b>length</b></span> <em>n.</em> (of a <em>sequence</em>) the number of <span><i>elements</i></span> in the <em>sequence</em>. (Note that if the <em>sequence</em> is a <span><i>vector</i></span> with a <span><i>fill pointer</i></span> , its <span><i>length</i></span> is the same as the <span><i>fill pointer</i></span> even though the total allocated size of the <span><i>vector</i></span> might be larger.)</p>
|
||
<p><strong>lexical binding</strong> <em>n.</em> a <span><i>binding</i></span> in a <span><i>lexical environment</i></span>.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>lexical closure</strong> <em>n.</em> a <span><i>function</i></span> that, when invoked on <span><i>arguments</i></span>, executes the body of a <span><i>lambda expression</i></span> in the <span><i>lexical environment</i></span> that was captured at the time of the creation of the <span><i>lexical closure</i></span>, augmented by <span><i>bindings</i></span> of the <span><i>function</i></span>’s <span><i>parameters</i></span> to the corresponding <span><i>arguments</i></span>.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>lexical environment</strong> <em>n.</em> that part of the <span><i>environment</i></span> that contains <span><i>bindings</i></span> whose names have <span><i>lexical scope</i></span>. A <span><i>lexical environment</i></span> contains, among other things:</p>
|
||
<p>ordinary <span><i>bindings</i></span> of <em>variable names</em> to <span><i>values</i></span>, lexically <em>established bindings</em> of <span><i>function names</i></span> to <span><i>functions</i></span>, <span><i>macros</i></span>, <span><i>symbol macros</i></span>, <span><i>blocks</i></span>, <span><i>tags</i></span>, and <span><i>local declarations</i></span> (see <span><b>declare</b></span>).</p>
|
||
<p><strong>lexical scope</strong> <em>n. scope</em> that is limited to a spatial or textual region within the</p>
|
||
<p>establishing <span><i>form</i></span>. “The names of parameters to a function normally are lexically scoped.”</p>
|
||
<p><strong>lexical variable</strong> <em>n.</em> a <span><i>variable</i></span> the <span><i>binding</i></span> for which is in the <span><i>lexical environment</i></span>.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Lisp image</strong> <em>n.</em> a running instantiation of a Common Lisp <span><i>implementation</i></span>. A <em>Lisp image</em> is characterized by a single address space in which any <span><i>object</i></span> can directly refer to any another in conformance with this specification, and by a single, common, <span><i>global environment</i></span>. (External operating systems sometimes call this a “core image,” “fork,” “incarnation,” “job,” or “process.” Note however, that the issue of a “process” in such</p>
|
||
<p>an operating system is technically orthogonal to the issue of a <em>Lisp image</em> being defined here. Depending on the operating system, a single “process” might have multiple <em>Lisp images</em>, and multiple “processes” might reside in a single <em>Lisp image</em>. Hence, it is the idea of a fully shared address space for direct reference among all <span><i>objects</i></span> which is the defining characteristic. Note, too, that two “processes” which have a communication</p>
|
||
<p>area that permits the sharing of some but not all <span><i>objects</i></span> are considered to be distinct <em>Lisp images</em>.)</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Lisp printer</strong> <em>n. Trad.</em> the procedure that prints the character representation of an <span><i>object</i></span> onto a <span><i>stream</i></span>. (This procedure is implemented by the <span><i>function</i></span> <span><b>write</b></span>.)</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Lisp read-eval-print loop</strong> <em>n. Trad.</em> an endless loop that <span><i>reads</i></span><sub>2</sub> a <span><i>form</i></span>, <span><i>evaluates</i></span> it, and prints (<em>i.e.</em>, <span><i>writes</i></span><sub>2</sub>) the results. In many <span><i>implementations</i></span>, the default mode of interaction with Common Lisp during program development is through such a loop.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Lisp reader</strong> <em>n. Trad.</em> the procedure that parses character representations of <span><i>objects</i></span> from a <span><i>stream</i></span>, producing <span><i>objects</i></span>. (This procedure is implemented by the <span><i>function</i></span> <span><b>read</b></span>.)</p>
|
||
<p><span><b>list</b></span> <em>n.</em> 1. a chain of <em>conses</em> in which the <span><i>car</i></span> of each <span><i>cons</i></span> is an <span><i>element</i></span> of the <span><i>list</i></span>, and the <span><i>cdr</i></span> of each <span><i>cons</i></span> is either the next link in the chain or a terminating <span><i>atom</i></span>. See also <em>proper list<span><i>, </i></span>dotted list</em>, or <span><i>circular list</i></span>. 2. the <span><i>type</i></span> that is the union of <span><b>null</b></span> and <span><b>cons</b></span>.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>list designator</strong> <em>n.</em> a <span><i>designator</i></span> for a <span><i>list</i></span> of <span><i>objects</i></span>; that is, an <span><i>object</i></span> that denotes a <span><i>list</i></span> and that is one of: a <em>non-nil atom</em> (denoting a <em>singleton list</em> whose <span><i>element</i></span> is that <em>non-nil atom</em>) or a <span><i>proper list</i></span> (denoting itself).</p>
|
||
<p><b>list structure</b> <i>n.</i> (of a <i>list</i>) the set of <i>conses</i> that make up the <i>list</i>. Note that while the <i>car</i> <sub>1<i>b</i></sub> component of each such <i>cons</i> is part of the <i>list structure</i>, the <i>objects</i> that are <i>elements</i> of the <i>list</i> (<i>i.e.</i>, the <i>objects</i> that are the <i>cars</i><sub>2</sub> of each <i>cons</i> in the <i>list</i>) are not themselves part of its <i>list structure</i>, even if they are <i>conses</i>, except in the (<i>circular</i> <sub>2</sub>) case where the <i>list</i> actually contains one of its <i>tails</i> as an <i>element</i>. (The <i>list structure</i> of a <i>list</i> is sometimes redundantly referred to as its “top-level list structure” in order to emphasize that any <i>conses</i> that are <i>elements</i> of the <i>list</i> are not involved.)</p>
|
||
<p><strong>literal</strong> <em>adj.</em> (of an <span><i>object</i></span>) referenced directly in a program rather than being computed by the program; that is, appearing as data in a <span><b>quote</b></span> <span><i>form</i></span>, or, if the <span><i>object</i></span> is a <em>self evaluating object</em>, appearing as unquoted data. “In the form (cons "one" ’("two")), the expressions "one", ("two"), and "two" are literal objects.”</p>
|
||
<p><span><b>load</b></span> <em>v.t.</em> (a <span><i>file</i></span>) to cause the <span><i>code</i></span> contained in the <span><i>file</i></span> to be <em>executed</em>. See the <span><i>function</i></span> <span><b>load</b></span>.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>load time</strong> <em>n.</em> the duration of time that the loader is <em>loading compiled code</em>.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>load time value</strong> <em>n.</em> an <span><i>object</i></span> referred to in <span><i>code</i></span> by a <span><b>load-time-value</b></span> <span><i>form</i></span>. The <span><i>value</i></span> of such a <span><i>form</i></span> is some specific <span><i>object</i></span> which can only be computed in the</p>
|
||
<p>run-time <span><i>environment</i></span>. In the case of <em>file compilation</em>, the <span><i>value</i></span> is computed once as part of the process of <em>loading</em> the <span><i>compiled file</i></span>, and not again. See the <span><i>special operator</i></span> <span><b>load-time-value</b></span>.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>loader</strong> <em>n.</em> a facility that is part of Lisp and that <span><i>loads</i></span> a <span><i>file</i></span>. See the <span><i>function</i></span> <span><b>load</b></span>.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>local declaration</strong> <em>n.</em> an <span><i>expression</i></span> which may appear only in specially designated positions of certain <span><i>forms</i></span>, and which provides information about the code contained within the containing <span><i>form</i></span>; that is, a <span><b>declare</b></span> <span><i>expression</i></span>.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>local precedence order</strong> <em>n.</em> (of a <span><i>class</i></span>) a <span><i>list</i></span> consisting of the <span><i>class</i></span> followed by its <em>direct superclasses</em> in the order mentioned in the defining <span><i>form</i></span> for the <span><i>class</i></span>.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>local slot</strong> <em>n.</em> (of a <span><i>class</i></span>) a <em>slot accessible</em> in only one <span><i>instance</i></span>, namely the <span><i>instance</i></span> in which the <span><i>slot</i></span> is allocated.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>logical block</strong> <em>n.</em> a conceptual grouping of related output used by the <span><i>pretty printer</i></span> . See the <span><i>macro</i></span> <span><b>pprint-logical-block</b></span> and Section 22.2.1.1 (Dynamic Control of the Arrangement of Output).</p>
|
||
<p><strong>logical host</strong> <em>n.</em> an <span><i>object</i></span> of <span><i>implementation-dependent</i></span> nature that is used as the representation of a “host” in a <span><i>logical pathname</i></span>, and that has an associated set of translation rules for converting <span><i>logical pathnames</i></span> belonging to that host into <span><i>physical pathnames</i></span>. See Section 19.3 (Logical Pathnames).</p>
|
||
<p><strong>logical host designator</strong> <em>n.</em> a <span><i>designator</i></span> for a <span><i>logical host</i></span>; that is, an <span><i>object</i></span> that denotes a <span><i>logical host</i></span> and that is one of: a <span><i>string</i></span> (denoting the <span><i>logical host</i></span> that it names), or a <span><i>logical host</i></span> (denoting itself). (Note that because the representation of a <span><i>logical host</i></span> is <span><i>implementation-dependent</i></span>, it is possible that an <span><i>implementation</i></span> might represent a <span><i>logical host</i></span> as the <span><i>string</i></span> that names it.)</p>
|
||
<p><strong>logical pathname</strong> <em>n.</em> an <span><i>object</i></span> of <span><i>type</i></span> <span><b>logical-pathname</b></span>.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>long float</strong> <em>n.</em> an <span><i>object</i></span> of <span><i>type</i></span> <span><b>long-float</b></span>.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>loop keyword</strong> <em>n. Trad.</em> a symbol that is a specially recognized part of the syntax of an extended <span><b>loop</b></span> <span><i>form</i></span>. Such symbols are recognized by their <span><i>name</i></span> (using <span><b>string=</b></span>), not by their identity; as such, they may be in any package. A <span><i>loop keyword</i></span> is not a <span><i>keyword</i></span>.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>lowercase</strong> <em>adj.</em> (of a <span><i>character</i></span> ) being among <span><i>standard characters</i></span> corresponding to the small letters a through z, or being some other <em>implementation-defined character</em> that</p>
|
||
<p>is defined by the <span><i>implementation</i></span> to be <span><i>lowercase</i></span>. See Section 13.1.4.3 (Characters With Case).</p></div><footer class="theme-doc-footer docusaurus-mt-lg"><div class="theme-doc-footer-edit-meta-row row"><div class="col"><a
