Re: Slew of DLL Dependencies

My gut feeling is that this is the kind of thing you could make your system definition tool handle, that is tell it that A.dll depends on C.dll and D.dll, etc., and it should be able to load them in the right order.

Re: HELP HELP postfix calculator that takes postfix expressions

For the calculations, implement at stack machine. Numbers are pushed on the stack, operations pop their arguments and push their result.

For the translation, do the same thing but make the operators push the resulting list instead.

Re: Can someone give me some ideas on how to solve this problem?

Okay, so you are given the structure the data is given to you. Your two main options here are use it as is, or convert it to another form for your use, and then convert back. Either way, it may be useful to break down the problem of adding two polynomials by defining a function, say add-term-to-poly...

Re: between defun and defmacro

In this case, (defmacro leopard (dog cat) `(if ,dog "war is over" ,cat)) will do what you want here: (let ((x "happy old year")) (leopard (> 4.99 5) x)) ;; it should give: "happy old year" Though it only works because you don't need to know anything about the variable '...

On the other hand, by his description, he wants to create a function that like butlast, but with reversed order of arguments.
I think you mean LAST there.

Re: OT: CL use and sources

If you want to embed Common Lisp into a C/C++ program, you could take a look at ECL, which is LGPL.

You mean like DESTRUCTURING-BIND?

Re: pushing links, not elements

Cool, didn't think of that, how does that compare performance-wise? You happen to know how loop/dolist do references? Well, it would have to allocate a closure upon creation, and do a function call and comparison for reading/setting, instead of just setting a memory location like you would with a l...

Re: Qt and Lisp...a great opportunity?

There have been various stabs in the past to make a Qt binding for CL. Writing a Qt binding is likely going to be more difficult than writing a GTK binding; Qt is C++, so that can add some complications. There is also the MOC you may want to deal with. Having the wrapper be lispy would be nice too...

Re: pushing links, not elements

You can create/hack pointers and references in. For example, you could do something like: (untested) (defmacro make-pointer (variable) (let ((op (gensym)) (value (gensym))) `(lambda (,op &optional ,value) (if (eql ,op 'set) (setf ,variable ,value) ,variable)))) (defun deref (pointer) (funcall po...
