Message-ID: <34825@bu-cs.BU.EDU> Date: 18 Jul 89 02:02:24 GMT Organization: Boston U. Comp. Sci. Lines: 23 In Common Lisp, given: (setf (get 'foo 'bar) 'goo) what should: (prog (foo) (get 'foo 'bar)) return (prog could be (lambda (foo)..) or (let (foo)...), I assume the answer should be basically the same)? One implementation I tried returned 'goo and the other NIL. I couldn't find any definition in CLTL but if I missed it and you know the page number that would be the perfect answer. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die, Purveyors to the Trade 1330 Beacon Street, Brookline, MA 02146, (617) 739-0202 Internet: bzs@skuld.std.com UUCP: encore!xylogics!skuld!bzs or uunet!skuld!bzs
