Corman Common Lisp patches

AutoCAD Interface

There's also the old Corman Lisp ARX v0.2.013 for Corman LISP. This is a corman console listener inside AutoCAD. Warning! This ARX is only tested up to Corman Lisp v1.3
See the README for this acad library.

NOTE: The latest released Corman Lisp acad library reflects CLARX version 0.2.011

I'll try to add some basic IDispatch interface (Corman as OLE server) when I'll have some spare time, to allow access from VB or VLISP. It should be dynamic as with pythonwin or acl. (see ffi's)

Older Plans:
I didn't have time yet to write it down, because I wanted to do it "good". To do it manually you'll have to create a FFI or COM interface definition for each and every AutoCAD function. That's why I started to think writing a TLB importer (in spirit to vl-import-typelib) but with using autoloading stubs for the COM part. Or similar with simple FFI stubs parsed from the export definition file.
The number of required FFI functions for the low-level AutoCAD interface: (from exports15)

library	number of functions
AcDb	4719
AcGe	3578
AcRx	448
aced	111
AcAx	130

I also wrote some XEmacs emodules (htmlhelp, winhelp, OLE, registry), but haven't successfully compiled them yet for my various emacsen.
A patch for ntemacs to call COM servers is here, but it doesn't work yet good enough.

Various other modules

• pcre.lisp: pcre-3.9 binding for Corman Lisp www.pcre.org. This is not yet stable.
  

   (pcre:match   pattern string)         => subpattern num-found
   (pcre:replace pattern string [limit]) => new-string num-replaced
  
  Samples:
   (pcre:match "/^t(.*)\.lisp/"   "test.lisp")    => "est" 1
   (pcre:match "/^t(.*)\.lisp/in" "test.lisp")    => 2 (position)
   (pcre:match "/^t(.*)\.lisp/ing" "test.lisp")   => 1 (g: number of found matches)
   (pcre:match "/^t(.*)\.(lisp)/i" "test.lisp") => ("est" "lisp") 2
   (pcre:match "/^t(.*)\.lisp/" "Test.lisp") => nil -1
   pcre:*last-error* => "no match"
   (pcre:replace "/^t(.*)\.lisp/$1.bak/" "test.lisp") => "est.bak" 1
  

• com-data.lisp: Helpers for ActiveX collections, safearrays and variants. Designed after "Visual Lisp" (AutoCAD). Not yet ready.
  
• UFFI support ("Universal Foreign Function Interface") for Corman Lisp is in development. The current UFFI sources contain support for the types. The various new ffi modules (acad, pcre, registry) are the testbed for this.
  

Old Source Patches

• io.lisp
  

  v1.5: 2002-04-09 - fixed peek-char as suggested by chris double

• clconsole.cpp
  

  2001-09-01 - works with v1.5 also. Apply the changes by yourself with the new src.

  2000-09-13 - add DISPLAY-URL (fixes DOCUMENTATION in the console)

  2000-09-28 - add EDITOR-SET-DEFAULT-MESSAGE, EDITOR-SET-MESSAGE and EDITOR-GET-MESSAGE

• The pre-compiled clconsole.exe with the above mentioned fixes. (some switches should work only since 1.4)
• cltl2.lisp Link browser to CLtL2 as with hyperspec.lisp to CLHS.
• htmlhelp.lisp Spawn hh and display a topic. Not quite ready yet. Should be done via FFI.
• readtable.lisp
  - READTABLE-CASE was fixed in v1.5, (setf READTABLE-CASE) not
  - 2000-11-14 fixed READTABLE-CASE
  - added READTABLE-CASE + setf method
  (tricky bootstrapping problems). This patch also needs a new setf.lisp with a (defsetf readtable-case set-readtable-case) at the very end.
• compile-file.lisp
  - v1.5 fixed COMPILE-FILE to accept pathnames as well. so you may alias COMPILE-FILE-PATHNAME to COMPILE-FILE also. 2001-09-03
  - added COMPILE-FILE-PATHNAME, fixed this fix at 2000-10-10.
• life.lisp
  - 2000-11-14 added optional size arguments, improved size logic.
• require.lisp
  - don't know if this was fixed with v1.5.
  - fixed REQUIRE with calls like this: (require :com-type-libs). Use lowercase filenames on length > 8. String args must use the correct case of the filename or use the optional 2nd arg. Force uppercase strings in *MODULES*.
• ffi.lisp - tried to add :bool support for c-structs, but not tested yet.
• Other...
