Sheesh ... I forgot that I intended to do s/list_/l/g on that. Doing so brings up one problem, which is that the old version of lremove() conflicts with the new naming convention (it should have had a name mentioning "ptr"). In the attached I work around this by using "ldelete" rather than "lremove" as the base name for these functions, but I'm open to other ideas. ListCell accessors: lfirst no change lfirsti lfirst_int lfirsto lfirst_oid lnext no change foreach no change List accessors: length no change lfirstcell new function to get first cell, or NULL if none lfirst rewrite as lfirst(lfirstcell()) when applied to a List lsecond, lthird, lfourth not clear if worth keeping llastnode llastcell llast Perhaps rewrite as lfirst(llastcell()) instead of keeping makeListN lmakeN or possibly lmake_N makeListiN lmakeN_int or lmake_N_int makeListoN lmakeN_oid or lmake_N_oid lcons no change lconsi lcons_int lconso lcons_oid lappend no change lappendi lappend_int lappendo lappend_oid nconc lconcat We might also need a function to attach some bare ListCells to a List nth lnth lnth_int lnth_oid Should add lnth_int, lnth_oid, even though there are no corresponding functions at the moment member lmember ptrMember lmember_ptr intMember lmember_int oidMember lmember_oid LispRemove ldelete lremove ldelete_ptr lremovei ldelete_int ldelete_oid add, though not currently used ltruncate no change set_union lunion set_ptrUnion lunion_ptr lunion_int not currently used set_uniono lunion_oid set_difference ldifference set_ptrDifference ldifference_ptr ldifference_int not currently used set_differenceo ldifference_oid equali and equalo become just calls on equal() freeList lfree (frees only List, not pointed-to objects) listCopy lcopy (shallow copy of List only) regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
