7.5 Details of system dspec classes and aliases

This section shows the dspec classes, subclasses and aliases provided by the system. Subclasses are indented. Following the list of dspec classes are notes about some of these classes.

The system-defined dspec classes are:

COMPILER-MACRO (alias DEFINE-COMPILER-MACRO)

EDITOR:DEFCOMMAND (alias EDITOR:DEFINE-COMMAND-SYNONYM)

DEFINE-ACTION

DEFINE-ACTION-LIST

WIN32:DEFINE-DDE-CLIENT

WIN32:DEFINE-DDE-DISPATCH-TOPIC

DSPEC:DEFINE-DSPEC-CLASS (aliases DSPEC:DEFINE-SUBCLASS-DSPEC-CLASS, DSPEC:DEFINE-FUNCTION-DSPEC-CLASS)

  DSPEC:DEFINE-DSPEC-ALIAS

EDITOR:DEFINE-EDITOR-VARIABLE (alias EDITOR:DEFINE-EDITOR-MODE-VARIABLE)

FLI:DEFINE-FOREIGN-CALLABLE

FLI:DEFINE-FOREIGN-TYPE (alias FLI:DEFINE-FOREIGN-CONVERTER)

DSPEC:DEFINE-FORM-PARSER

CAPI:DEFINE-MENU

DEFSETF (aliases DEFINE-SETF-EXPANDER, DEFINE-SETF-METHOD)

DEFSYSTEM

FUNCTION

  DEFGENERIC

  DEFMACRO (alias DEFINE-MODIFY-MACRO)

  DEFUN (alias SYSTEM:DEFUN-AND-INLINE)

    FLI:DEFINE-FOREIGN-VARIABLE

    FLI:DEFINE-FOREIGN-FUNCTION (alias FLI:DEFINE-FOREIGN-FUNCALLABLE)

METHOD (alias DEFMETHOD)

METHOD-COMBINATION (alias DEFINE-METHOD-COMBINATION)

PACKAGE (alias DEFPACKAGE)

STRUCTURE (alias DEFSTRUCT)

TYPE

  DEFCLASS

    CAPI:DEFINE-INTERFACE

    CAPI:DEFINE-LAYOUT

    DEFINE-CONDITION

  STRUCTURE-CLASS

  DEFTYPE

VARIABLE

  DEFINE-SYMBOL-MACRO

  DEFCONSTANT

  DEFVAR (aliases DEFGLOBAL-PARAMETER, DEFGLOBAL-VARIABLE, DEFPARAMETER)

Further dspec classes are defined by modules such as com (on Microsoft Windows), kw and sql .

The canonical form of a symbol dspec is (function symbol ) and the canonical form of a setf function name dspec is (function (setf symbol )) .
