Subject: Re: type: (or something nil) From: Erik Naggum <clerik@naggum.no> Date: 1998/03/07 Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp Message-ID: <3098218620480005@naggum.no> * Raymond Toy | Depends on the compiler and the code. This bit of code: | | (defun tst (x) | (declare (type (or single-float null) x) (optimize (speed 3))) | (if x (sin x))) | | can call the C version of sin because the compiler knows that by then, | x must be a single-float. but does any particular compiler do this? (incidentally, C's sin is defined for double-floats.) #:Erik -- God grant me serenity to accept the code I cannot change, courage to change the code I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
