Subject: Re: inspect From: Erik Naggum <erik@naggum.no> Date: 2000/01/13 Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp Message-ID: <3156777199553156@naggum.no> * Frode Vatvedt Fjeld <frodef@acm.org> | Are there functions to access the same information that I can dig up | interactively with INSPECT? usually, but not necessarily. | For example, in ACL, I can (interactively) inspect a compiled function, | and retrieve its machine-code (vector) object through the function's CODE | cell. Is there some function I can use to obtain the same information | programmatically, like | | (get-cell-or-something #'myfun 'code) => #<CODE vector object> some of these slots are so low-level that there aren't any regular CL-level code to access them. however, the code for the inspector is part of the source code offering that comes with a regular license. it seems that you're digging so deep into Allegro CL that you would benefit from Franz Inc's excellent support, and I think it's fair to pay for a license. I could argue that it's not in the best interest of the continued existence free versions that people reverse-engineer a free product -- it may turn out to be hostile to the commercial operation whose profitability spawned the ability to give something away... however, you should check out the results of (apropos "_CODE"). #:Erik
