A.4 Mapping in more detail

A.4.3 Mapping for basic types

The following table shows the basic mapping. The first column contains the IDL name of the IDL type to be mapped. Each IDL type denotes a set of IDL abstract values.

The set of values denoted by an entry in the first column is mapped, under the mapping described in this document, to a set of Lisp values. That set of Lisp values is described in two ways:

Table A.1
IDL Type	Name of Lisp Type	Lisp Type Specifier
boolean	corba:boolean	boolean
char	corba:char	character
octet	corba:octet	(unsigned-byte 8)
string	corba:string	string
short	corba:short	(signed-byte 16)
unsigned short	corba:ushort	(unsigned-byte 16)
long	corba:long	(signed-byte 32)
unsigned long	corba:ulong	(unsigned-byte 32)
float	corba:float	see text
double	corba:double	see text

For example:

(typep -3 'corba:short)
> T
(typep "A string" 'corba:string)
> T
