Also, ;; to print custom types constructed from lists and vectors, use ;; custom-print-list and custom-print-vector. See the documentation ;; strings of these variables for more details. ;; If the results of your expressions contain circular references to ;; other parts of the same structure, the standard Emacs print ;; subroutines may fail to print with an untrappable error, ;; "Apparently circular structure being printed". If you only use cdr ;; circular lists (where cdrs of lists point back; what is the right ;; term here?), you can limit the length of printing with ;; print-length. But car circular lists and circular vectors generate ;; the above mentioned error in Emacs version 18. Version ;; 19 supports print-level, but it is often useful to get a better ;; print representation of circular structures; the print-circle ;; option may be used to print more concise representations. ;; There are several ways to use this package. You may replace prin1, ;; princ, print, prin1-to-string, format, message, and error by ;; calling install-custom-print-funcs. Any use of these functions in ;; lisp code will be affected; later reset with ;; uninstall-custom-print-funcs. Or you may temporarily install them ;; inside the macro with-custom-print-funcs. Or, you could call the ;; custom routines directly which have the same names with "custom-" ;; prepended, thus only affecting the printing that requires them. ;; Note that subroutines which call print subroutines directly will not ;; use the custom print functions. In particular, the evaluation ;; functions like eval-region call the print subroutines directly. ;; Therefore, evaluating (aref circ-list 0), which calls error ;; directly (because circ-list is not an array), will jump to the top ;; level instead of printing the circular list. ;; Obviously the right way to implement this custom-print facility ;; is in C. Please volunteer since I don't have the time or need. ;; This custom-print package might be extended in the future to ;; handle more Common Lisp like printing capabilities. ;; Implementation design: we want to use the same list and vector ;; processing algorithm for all versions of prin1 and princ, since how ;; the processing is done depends on print-length, print-level, and ;; print-circle. For circle printing, a preprocessing step is ;; required before the final printing. Thanks to Jamie Zawinski ;; for motivation and algorithms. ;;========================================================= ;; export list: ;; print-level ;; print-circle ;; install-custom-print-funcs ;; uninstall-custom-print-funcs ;; custom-print-funcs-installed-p ;; with-custom-print-funcs ;; custom-prin1 ;; custom-princ ;; custom-prin1-to-string ;; custom-print ;; custom-format ;; custom-message ;; custom-error ;; custom-print-list ;; custom-print-vectorp ;; add-custom-print-list ;; add-custom-print-vector (provide 'cust-print) ;; Abbreviated package name: "CP" ;;(defvar print-length nil ;; "*Controls how many elements of a list, at each level, are printed. ;;This is defined by emacs.")
